An idea for when things pick back up:

Conference Bingo Draft - your completed roster has to have all the franchises in one conference represented at least once.

I'd prefer 2021. Make Giannis expensive, but only so it's a difficult decision, not to the extent no one even considers it.

I don't think Giannis needs to be banned or more expensive. There are three or four other players with arguments for best player in 2021.

It's more how far ahead he is of every other PF that makes him the most obvious pick. I guess there there is a Draymond route, though.

Enh there are combo forwards you could play at the 4 that are near his level. I would have giannis a little higher than anyone else but not by much.

Do you mean division?

No, conference. Just to be clear, all of a player's franchises would count, e.g. CP3 would cover the Pelicans, Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, and Suns.

Going to chance starting another game...

Pairs draft, but you draft separately. You are randomly matched with another player, and your draft positions are put next to each other. When the draft is over the best teams are ranked, and either they're the winner or whichever pair has the best combined rankings make the finals and then play each other. So you have to balance making your own team as good as possible vs letting players who fit your partner fall to them.

Or we could make it so pairs can exchange players with each other at the end of the draft. Actually it might be more interesting to do it that way but with players at opposite ends of the draft order.

Kind of similar to the current one, but same conference and-1 game. Either you choose which conference you want your 7/8 players to be in, or it could just be an overall Eastern Conference + 1 West player or Western Conference + 1 East player for everyone.

All active players: anyone on an active roster at the start of the draft is eligible, but you can use any season of their careers. Kawhi and Klay would be eligible for example.

I like this. How do we determine this? A player could be on a roster today and off tomorrow.

Could just say on an active roster at any point during the 2021-22 season instead.

Probably going to risk doing signups for this tonight - might as well find out whether the lull is over or not.

Sounds good Boss.

I was going to say "Some new guys drafted over on the PC Board" but then none of the new guys posted write up lol.

I'd quote them, though. That was a totally different situation. They don't play these and it was understood writeups were optional. Also voting started immediately without allowing time for a writeup.

I like the current Big City draft. "Small" City draft?

Interesting pool, and no Mike or LeBron

Charlotte
Indiana
Memphis
Milwaukee
New Orleans
Oklahoma City
Portland
Sacramento
San Antonio
Utah Jazz

On the wiki list I used for the first one, I have Orlando and Cleveland in, Portland and Sacramento out for teams in the bottom 10. But if the rule was something like teams can't be in the overall top 20 metro areas in NA, then Portland, Sacramento and Denver could be included.

A draft where 50/88 of your FGAs have to be from the same franchise or something would be a format we haven't explored much

That swap would make it more viable. I don't mind weaker pools, but it becomes a problem if we have, say, 12 drafters but only eight legit first-rounders.

I'd be down for this one - are you possibly starting signups?

The other few discussed lately look good, except the pairs. That might be tough with fewer teams.

If you want to start it you can, otherwise I will at some point
