Re: Game Ideas/Thinktank
I think we should add in the draft to make it less based on "luck" then. If a team is filled with bad players they should be able to get a way to make it a good team.

Re: Game Ideas/Thinktank
Ness, TC, and I are talking over rules. We should have a thread up today detailing the new rules. We'll be setting a sign-up time a day or two from now.
There will be 26 teams. Be aware that if you simply vanished from last game, you're not going to be allowed in. There are a lot of culprits and we know who they are.

Re: Game Ideas/Thinktank
Any consideration of starting the game with a re-draft from last year? That way you can have 2 drafts where everyone knows all the players.

I think 2 seasons is a little long, and the game is much more effective and productive when there is only one season. So I would try the one season GMAT again

Me too. Maybe remove the entire 2013 draft class from the randomization and instead of taking away picks and adding picks from future drafts simply let the initial rankings determine the draft order for a 2013 draft that starts the game off.

I really like that idea. 2013 draft starts game based on initial rankings? Kind of evens up the huge odds that come with the randomizer.

Something that could be interesting is a draft for teams to pick a head coach

A coaching draft could make it easier for it to happen

Re: Game Ideas/Thinktank
spitballing again.
What about after trading closes and we do the rankings for the playoffs, we open trading up again for one day(deadline day)? This would give potential contenders warning that they might need to push for another piece, and better defines the value of potential 1sts in the current draft. Then we do a quick re-rank based on any last-minute deals. The 2nd ranking shouldn't take but a couple minutes.

Re: Game Ideas/Thinktank
Another idea I had would be to add an expansion team. Let every team protect 5-8 players and then give the expansion team the ability to pick players to build a team. Only one player from each team. The expansion team automatically gets the top 4 pick in the 1st and the first pick in the 2nd.
This could be a challenge for a player who really wants to showcase their skill(NESS?)

I'd be all for taking an expansion team in the next game.

I love expansion draft ideas. Move Memphis to the East, add Seattle and Kansas City or Las Vegas(?).
Could also do top 16 to the playoffs, play-in games to the playoffs, other experimental stuff discussed by the NBA. Fun fun.

This idea is really really interesting. I would be all in.
