Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1979-80 up to and including 2022-23 are eligible, subject to the restriction outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. Every player chosen must have played 50% of his games in the selected season in one of the following franchises:

Orlando Magic
LA Lakers
Miami Heat
Pheonix Suns
Cleveland Cavaliers
Boston Celtics

Or predecessor franchises

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBABABA

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

10. After you have made your draft selection, please quote and/or PM the person that goes after you so they will know that it is their turn and they are on the clock. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs/rankings begin.

Good set of franchises but do we need such a wide time frame?

I think we do after trying a small simulation, for 10 participants. Can reduce to 80s and it'll also work, but going earlier adds just about 4 players.

Open to hear more opinions after others explore the pool.

In please.

I'd strongly urge 80s and forward.

I'm going to have to sit this one out.

It doesn't look like it needs me, and I'm not going to be able to check reliably enough for the next few days.

I should be able to manage the playoffs of the current game (since this should require fewer inputs plus I control the pace of it), but I can't be involved in an ongoing draft in the upcoming week. Too many large periods where I won't have access.
