Its going to be nearly impossible to field these teams with the FGA limit.

Perhaps it is better to do pairs (Pair of players in the same season who made all-star) and limit it to one all-nba season per pair. Two of the pairs need to include all-stars?

I also like Dr. P's with the state/location. I think 3 states is too far away--thats going from California to Texas.



I would like one that includes 80s players. I think one where there's a limit of 6-7 threes made per team would be a different than usual one.

It would be different but I wouldn't play it.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in straight up limiting the number of threes you're allowed to have. That's not really a challenge- that just forces every team to be worse.

This is the map we used with the last game

So you can't get from Cali to Texas in one move because you have to go by states that have teams (as I said we add a few ferries to connect the isolated southeast section)

What about something a little off the wall like excluding all players with more than 8 WS in a given season, while simultaneously removing the FGA restriction. We would be wading into the depths of obscure, middling, and inefficient players in a way that makes my heart throb.

:D haha.

I thought of no more than 48mins per position, no fgas restrictions.

ie. The players' picked chosen seasons minutes per game can't exceed 48mins for each position.
eg. Player A 36.5mins chosen season + Player B 11mins chosen season = under 48mins for PG, SG, SF ,PF or C.

Not that I am against either of these, but I would love to do a post-merger or 1960-now draft with some sort of stipulation.

Could just do a simple pre-LeBron draft (60s or post-merger to 2003). I lean towards the latter.

Indeed I do :wink:

It'd be a nice changeup.

Would be fun to do an ABA-only draft with normal rules otherwise

2020s draft?

Stars: Giannis, Lebron, Davis, Curry, Harden, Jokic, Kawhi, Embiid, Paul, Lillard, George, Butler - Probably enough of a 1st round, although would cap it at 10-12 players

Same franchise, players picked can't have played on that team at same time. Draft

eg. Larry Bird, Kevin Garnett, Antoine Walker, Dee Brown etc. Noone played on Celtics at same time. Chosen seasons must be when they played for that franchise.

What if it was just a total number of 3s draft instead of it being added onto a different game?

Something like 10 3s made per game?

How many franchises? Wouldn't work if you were limited to 1 franchise.

Each participant picks players from the sane franchise chosen seasons.

A draft where you have to limit the total number seasons played in the NBA. Not sure on what the limits might be. But basically you'd have to take some guys who weren't in the league very long. Current players not allowed or would have to count the max toward the limit.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
