So this is the scenario. The NBA is cutting 14 teams, I'll let you know which ones in a second, the 16 remaining teams are having a dispersal draft of the leftover players from the folded franchises.

I need 15 people to select a team, first come first serve and draft from the remaining players to create the new 15 MAN NBA rosters.


The Sixteen Remaining Teams are:

Atlantic
Boston Celtics - pete's montreux
Miami Heat - Walking Life
New York Knicks - Tian820
Philadelphia 76ers - Sour Patch Kids

Central
Chicago Bulls - emsteez forreal
Detroit Pistons -G.O.A.T
Indiana Pacers - Rizko
Milwaukee Bucks - Bird

Midwest
Dallas Mavericks - BRabbit
Houston Rockets - SoadRules
San Antonio Spurs - Kebab Stall
St. Louis Hawks - Master Durant 24

Pacific
Los Angeles Lakers - NoGunzJustSkillz
Phoenix Suns - Maniak
Portland Trailblazers - LeBron 23
San Fransisco Warriors - Vapid

Teams Cut & Reasons
Atlanta - Just don't deserve good sports teams. (moved back to St. Louis)
Charlotte - It should work, but it doesn't.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Just not quite enough history to make them worth keeping.
Denver Nuggets - Never advanced to the NBA Finals, just can't make the cut.
L.A. Clippers - LOL
Memphis Grizzlies - The francise is still awaiting it's first series win. It's been 15 years, it's a failure.
Minnesota Timberwolves - One conference Finals in 20 years, no thanks.
New Jersey Nets - Rarely a contender, often a bottom feeder.
New Orleans Hornets - Never lost that new team smell.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Would make a great minor league team name. Had they'd stayed in Seattle, they'd have stayed in the 16 over Phoenix.
Orlando Magic - Only room for one team in Florida and Miami has a ring and more current star power.
Sacramento - Haven't Won a Ring since they were in Rochester. Barely even been in contention. Like to keep em', but can't.
Toronto - Never even been to a conference Finals, not enough history
Utah Jazz - Let's be Serious, Utah and Pro Sports.
Washington - Changed their name from Bullets. The toughest cut, but that pissed me off.

"L.A. Clippers - LOL"

[emsteez forreal]

i'll take the bulls.

[SourPatchKids]

76ers please. I wonder where melo will end up.

[Rizko]

Edit: I'll take the Pacers instead.

Will trades be available? Something like "Rondo and the Celtics 1st round pick for Collison and Indiana's 1st round pick" or whatever? Not that I want to do that trade, just the first thing that came to mind.

[MasterDurant24]

Hawks.

[pete's montreux]

Celtics.

And, will the players be in their current state or primes?

[Kebab Stall]

I'll take the Spurs.


Also, f*ck you for getting rid of the Grizzlies.

[AJ2k8]

Is this like a fantasy league?

[soadrules]

Rockets!

Unless a fellow Rockets poster would like in, then I may have to give it up to him, but for now I'll take them.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

lakers or sixers

[Maniak]

Phoenix Suns.

[Waking_Life]

The Heat

[BRabbiT]

i'm in. i'll take Dallas.

[G.O.A.T]

Edit: I'll take the Pacers instead.

Will trades be available? Something like "Rondo and the Celtics 1st round pick for Collison and Indiana's 1st round pick" or whatever? Not that I want to do that trade, just the first thing that came to mind.

YES, Great Idea.
