Future Draft Games

So if you draft Shaq for example it would cost you around 35 FGA?

I like the idea although it seems like one where Magic could end up running riot.

It favors Magic less then, say, declining percentages. The premium on him is the same as on Mike or Shaq, rather than being based on his original FGAs.

Yeah I agree. The alternative would be to assign a total FGA number (say 30 for all MVPs) but that takes away a lot of the individuality of each team.

We still interested in this? Dr P's numbers are probably better.

Didn't we end up doing that one?

Not that I recall but who knows?

Holy crap I do need a break.

can we have random.org generate a single season between 1989-90 and 2017-18 and redraft the league?

here’s a wacky idea: we draft exclusive seasons instead of exclusive players, then use players only from drafted seasons.

How do you get around players overlapping between seasons?

Maybe you draft the drafts, and are only allowed to use one 1st team all NBA player per draft?

It could also a game where you draft a whole franchise, with same 1 1st team All NBA per team rule. Lakers wouldn't be too overpowered with that, most of the players that made them the Lakers made 1st team All NBA

players would overlap between seasons. if you don’t get a season you need, the whole team could be more expensive. great bench seasons become that much more rare

So multiple teams have Jordan on it? Or do we draft the seasons first and then draft the players after?

usually, we pick the players and choose seasons after the draft. in this, we would pick the seasons and choose players after the draft. multiple teams could have Jordan on it if they one of his best seasons.....or you might be best off with Shaq. I don’t know. depends how you want to spend your FGAs given the seasons you picked (which are the only ones you can use).

to make it more restrictive, you would have to use each season you draft at least once. you can pass for the remainder of the draft, but then you have less seasons from which to choose.

I guess it would be ok if it was a rankings only draft so Jordan and Jordan aren't matching up with each other in a playoff series

I would prefer a game drafting whole franchises though. Maybe 3 rounds.

Or draft a university, and you get all players associated with it? Similar to one we did, but in that one you claimed one to three players from a common university with each pick. In this one you'd get everybody, maybe three rounds?

[Laimbeer]

Everyone picks a team - for example the 2018 Warriors - in the first round. Then in the next three rounds you steal a player off the teams taken in round one. A player can only be stolen once, and all teams must be stolen from three times.

So you end up with a supporting cast of five from the team you drafted in round one along with the three players you steal from other teams in rounds two through four.

We wouldn't need FGA or accolade limits.

a game where we can only draft players we have had in three or more previous games. You must have played at least five games to enter.

[lilroddyb]

I haven't read through the last few pages so not sure if this Idea has come up but what about a game were the average age must be higher than 30 year old for your team

could be fun to see if some guys reach for younger guys and have rest of their team really old

[Fadeaway_J]

How about a game where you link players through playoff series in which they faced each other?

To make it more challenging, you would have to use the season in which the linked player faced the previous player. So for example, you can use 2013 LeBron, but if you wanted to link him to Ray Allen for example, you would have to use 2008, 2010, or 2012 (since those are the seasons when Allen played LeBron in the playoffs).

how about a simple 99-00 to 08-09

Might as well give it a shot next - simpler drafts seem to attract more drafters in lean periods.

1968 to 1998 also got some attention in a recent poll
