That might be true to an extent, though I'm still inclined to believe that the top tier ABA teams this year (the only ones anyone picked) would be very strong NBA teams.

I'm pretty surprised nobody is giving the Spurs a whirl.

That looked like an interesting group. If anyone else wants to sign up they are welcome to as we wait for Pen to give the final word.

Pen, if we're preparing for the draft, I'd like to make my lists. It won't be a terribly different philosophy for either team, but we should probably get our two teams straight.

Oh yeah, that little issue....

Let's set a deadline of midnight Tuesday night for signups. Hopefully by that time TMac will sign in and Cellar will decide if he wants Kentucky or Milwaukee.

^TMAC has signed in.

And it looks like Cellar is waiting for you to make the call.

"Cellar will decide". I wish Kentucky had a similar pick to Milwaukee. That would make this a lot easier.

Alright, I used the coinflip application on my phone to pick a team. It came up heads, which I designated to be Milwaukee, so I'll take them.

Are we gonna have a list of draftable players or how will we do this draft?

I imagine we'll be individually responsible for compiling our own lists by looking at the teams that weren't selected. With only eight teams drafting, just 32 players will be selected in the draft. My list has just under 40 players on it as of now.

Can we get the draft started today? We should be able to cruise right through.

I'd like to start today, but its pen's call ultimately.

Post #53 » by **CellarDoor** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:19 am

When we start if if one of you guys sees it before me, shoot me a pm.

Post #54 » by **Snakebites** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:26 am

I personally think the first pick is obvious, but I suppose Turkish Thunder could disagree.

Post #55 » by **penbeast0** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:34 am

Let's start the draft Tuesday night at midnight EST but please don't post before that unless you are taking the Virginia Squires, we still might get another player or two . . . on the clock from 8A to 12M in 4 hour intervals from the previous pick . . . hopefully we can roll it forward fairly quickly.

Two days?

You're the boss....

I take it to mean midnight tomorrow... when it will officially be "Tuesday"

I'm of the opinion that it's unlikely that anyone who hasn't joined yet will be psyched on a '75 draft, but who knows. I'd prefer to start ASAP.

^He said "Tuesday night".

Assuming from the lack of rules suggestions that no one wants a trading period? I'm good with it if you do . . .

A trading period would be fun, but there is also the potential for trades that mess up the game. I would ask for a 2/3rds majority to approve any trade if we had a trading period.
