Future Draft Games

[damecurry]

What about a Rivals Draft. Opposite of teammates essentially, 2 at a time both must have played at least 10 games against each other in their careers and must NEVER have played together on a team.
Just a way to mix up the dynamic. Could do that upside down if you really wanna be crazy.

I would suggest just making it so they faced each other in the playoffs that season. But too many stacked options if a team can draft eg. Magic and Bird at once

Former friends draft - players who were once teammates, but aren't anymore in the seasons you pick? Might be top heavy I guess with some big pairs like Shaq/Penny, two of Westbrook/Durant/Harden, Dirk/Nash

I like the facing in playoffs option. It could work with the protection used in the last Teammate game. Maybe narrow it to met in the finals.

I was going to suggest exactly this, and I think it would obviate the need to limit it to finals meetings. Just use All-NBA First Team or something similar I would say.

Maybe it's me, but I think "any playoffs" would require quite a bit of research. Finals only would further limit the layer pool in an interesting way, IMO. Up to the commish, I like it either way.

Also, I assume you'd have to choose the same season for both in a year they met?

[Laimbeer]

What about combining the upside down concept with multiple picks (teammates, draft classmates, etc.)?

I like this too.

Finals only is just too limiting for me. I'd be fine doing the research.

I'd like to do a 1 hour draft based on 90-now with limit of 1 MVP, 2 all-nba 1st, etc. no FGA limit

[Dr Positivity]

For fast drafts I think I would prefer the 15 minute/frustration draft format, and keeping the FGA limit in

15 minutes is too long. 15 hours in total

Yeah, we've done them but it'a a weekend. Whole different animal.

When Laimbeer did one before everyone's 15 min blocks were set before hand (eg you knew you were picking at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, etc). So you only had to show up when you had to

[damecurry]

1 minute is insanity. 15 minute with set time slots is a whole different thing. I do think theres an interesting middle ground to be found in a 3 minute draft with FGA, itd be pretty intense but not the mind boggling wildness of a 1 minute game.

[euroleague]

I want to see the insanity

Three minutes does seem like a sweet spot, but you've got to find a three hour window when everyone is available. Just getting a one hour window enough people could make was a challenge. We still came up with just seven.

This is true... it seemed the 1 hour draft would have done much better an hour later so I woner if 10-1am EST is just too late for the eastern folks? Idk I have an extra day off coming up I might try and run a quick 3 hour draft, test it out, could be lots of fun.

Midnight est might get me in. It's just around the time I'm waking up here in Europe

I would like to revisit the Batman, Robins, Supporting cast game. Post merger?

[Dr Positivity]

A draft where you can pass on any pick you made, to be made up for after the traditional eight rounds are complete. Once in the make-up rounds the earlier a pick was passed on the less FGAs the make-up costs. If you pass on a pick in Rd 1, your make up pick costs 0 FGAs. If you pass in Rd 2, it's 10%. Rd 3 - 20%, Rd 4 - 30%, Rd 5 - 40%, Rd 6 - 50%, Rd 7 - 60%, Round 8 - 70%.

[Dr Positivity]

Position step - similar to stair steps except your position has to be one up/down from the last pick's
