Now for the actual game.
With the lockout going on (and not looking pretty
) we decided to do a different type of GM a Team. We will do this game in the 02/03 season instead of the current one. We will have trading at the beginning, the deep 2003 Draft (Bron, Melo, Wade, Bosh ect), 2003 FA, then more trades at the end. The timeline isn't set yet, but that's the basic idea.For legistics and chosing purposes, here is some info you might want:

I (and I imagine others) can help with FA/Draft ect, if the commish needs it.
***Things to Remember:***
-If you sign up, please do a bit of research. Most people don't remember all of the role/bench players from 9 years ago, so if you can research all of your own players, that would be great. Basketball-reference.com is a great resource for stats, along with just simply looking them up on Google or Wiki for bios.
-Players (young especially) can change how they turn out based on where they are. IE say Wade somehow goes to the Lakers and never gets any playing time cause of Kobe, we wouldn't know him as he is today. Or if Darko was in a different role, maybe he becomes better than he is today. Just remember that things like that can happen (or you predict to happen) in this game, and saying "Well they were a bust after this year" might not be the best, because their path can change.
I'm sure Warriorfan will claify any questions and finalize rules, but I just thought I'd put the just of the game out there.
Other than that, lets get things going!
