General Voting Rules:

Spoiler:

One of the reasons for doing this is to kill time during the dead of summer when there's nothing else to do and we're waiting for the next season. I will post a list of players and out of that list of players you vote for one. You also need to nominate a player not listed in the current voting pool but a player you'd like to see available to be voted for in the next round.

For instance, let's say it's the first round and the available candidates to vote for are LBJ, KD, Curry, Harden, and Westbrook. I decide to vote for LBJ this round but I believe CP3 is the next best player. Since CP3 is not available to be voted for, I nominate him to be included in the next round of available candidates. The nominee with the highest number of votes will be included as a candidate to vote for in round 2.

In the situation of a tiebreaker, a 24hr period will be given for people to change their votes. You can only change your vote to one of the players who shares the tiebreak.

If there's still a tie after 24hrs, I break the tie.

Simple, right?

Voting rules for non-Nets board posters:

Spoiler:

If you are not a regular on the Nets board or you don't post here often you need to vote for 3 rounds in a row in order for your votes to count.

I welcome outsiders to vote, but we don't want outsiders intentionally screwing up our rankings. No hard feelings but this is the most effective method I can use to make sure non-regular posters aren't sabotaging our system.

Here's the voting history of our Top 25 players threads since its inception:

[Trader_Joe]

V: Blake
N: Melo

Want to vote for DMC but it's so hard to... he simply doesn't play enough games/minutes.
The best players play close to 3000 minutes.
He's been playing closer to 2000.

Part of that is physical and due to injuries, but much of it is mental and due to
Suspensions
Ejections
Foul trouble
Cool down time
Coach's frustration

Yes, the Kings do so much better when he's on the floor, but he's not on the floor like a top player should be. Talent alone doesn't make a player great.

yeah, all great points.

this was the hardest vote for me so far. as all the guys id vote for are great in different ways. kawaii is the like the GOAT glue guy and is now contributing at or near all-star level offensively. Blake has cousins numbers but not the RPM and also has paul to dish him easy buckets. Gasol is an elite defender and all around exccellent player but offensively the numbers arent where the other bigs are.

Blake wins.
Melo is the new nominee.
