The 2011 Rockets Board Contraction Draft Game!!! 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Mon Jan 17, 2011 3:13 am

This thread is an imaginary thread...but then again, aren't they all?

This is a game thread for the Rockets board involving the following situation: A scandal has rocked the NBA and it has caused 6 teams to be contracted by the league. The owners are bought out (because let's face it - they aren't going to lose money! ;) ), and all of the players on the rosters of these six teams are made available in an Re-Allocation Draft for the remaining 24 teams. Each team, for this one season, is allowed to expand their roster to 16 players. There will be 3 rounds in this draft.

I am forbidden by court order to tell you the reasons why these particular 6 teams were contracted...but since it's the Rockets board and we're all cool and I know you won't rat me out I will confirm the following: it involves female Mexican journalists, dog fighting, inappropriate cell phone pictures of man meat, foot fetish videos, possible Al Qaeda connections, hookers, more hookers, my god - you would not believe how many hookers and worst of all - possible HGH usage.

What I am looking for here is for some of you to step up and act as GM's for the remaining teams for this Re-Allocation draft. You must look out for the best interests of the teams you represent - EVEN
IF YOU ARE DRAFTING FOR UTAH OR DALLAS. It will be a first-come, first-serve basis for choosing to GM a team. If we can't fill out all of the spots by Wednesday then I'll allow people to select a second team to GM on a first-come, first-serve basis.

I will not be GM'ing a team. I'm going to play the role of David Stern...only without all of the usual David Stern doucheyness.

The following six teams are to be contracted, and their players made available for Re-Allocation:

New Orleans Hornets
Charlotte Bobcats
Memphis Grizzlies
Minnesota Timberwolves
Los Angeles Clippers
Indiana Pacers


More to follow in the next two posts!

RULES: (coming soon)

1) Each team Roster is bumped to 16

2) There are three rounds in this draft; if you choose to draft players in the second & third rounds then you must drop someone from your current roster.

3) ...I want to put in a lot of stuff about salary cap and consequences of dropping players; but honestly this is just a first attempt at the game. I'm going to keep it simple. If there is interest here, then we can do this again with much more involved rules.

Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

Put me down for the Pacers, just in case there's a white guy available. And Minny, too, for the point guards.

Sorry dude - Pacers and Timberpups were contracted. Had something to do with the bus full of dead Thai hookers.

Needs to be said: while this is an Official Rockets Board Game, this game is not limited to Rockets Board Posters (even tho they are better than all others). If you're a dirty fan of a non-Rockets team who wants to participate the we welcome you and do not judge you for your heathenish, non-Rockets ways.
