Choose the Eras No Champs Draft - draft thread 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Sun Oct 13, 2024 9:19 am

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1979-80 to 2023-24 are eligible, subject to the restrictions outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 8 rounds. 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, and at least 50% of his games for an eligible franchise.

5. The player pool consists of the franchise decades chosen by the drafters during sign-up. Each drafter picked two franchise decade combinations, but none of them could have been ones where the given franchise won a championship in the given decade. For example, Spurs weren't eligible for 90s, 00s and 10s, but are eligible for 80s and 20s. The given franchise must have existed in the given timeframe.

Drafters could choose any decade from 80s to 20s. A decade starts in the year x0' and ends on x9' (e.g. 90s is 1989-90 to 1998-99), expect 20s which is 2019-20 to 2023-24.

Any predecessor version of the franchise will also be included in the pool with your selection (if the franchise moved mid decade).

Franchise decades available to draft:
Lakers 90s, Dallas 20s
Suns 00s, OKC 20s
OKC 10s, Clippers 20s
Knicks 20s, Portland 90s
Hornets 90s, Kings 00s
Magic 00s, Rockets 80s
Bulls 80s, Cavs 00s
Bulls 10s, Pacers 00s
Jazz 90s, Rockets 00s
Philadelphia 20s, Celtics 10s

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.

Draft order:

There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Still at a loss as to what to do here - I'll just take this guy and see who drops.

Think I know who you mean but I'll try the loading up wing strategy instead by taking Reggie MIller
