You have two teams - one in the East and one in the West.
You draft 3 players from the current NBA, and then when the draft is over you randomly get assigned a team in each conference with the remaining players that weren't draft on it.
You make trades and free agent signings and so on.
You negotiate through emails with other GM's.
It takes about 20-30 days, but really most days your just responding to emails. There are days when we do the draft, and the 2017 draft and free agency and so on.
It's fun, and this game is just a different way to level the playing the field.

What the hell, I've never participated in a GMAT so I'll give it a whirl. Closest I've come was an NBA sim league like 10 years ago.

Man, that's rough DN. Here's to a speedy recovery but glad to have you as a co-commish.

My understanding is that you get to keep the three players you draft, as well as any of the other players on your designated team.
For example:
LeBron
Brook Lopez
Iman Shumpert
The Cavs get neither LeBron nor Iman, and the Nets do not get Brook, but you get those three, and whoever gets the Cavs and Nets starts without those three players.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Ness.
