Infrequent Finalist Franchises - Discussion

[durantbird]

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA/ABA seasons from 1959-60 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. Any player chosen in a season that is pre-merger will have a multiplier of 0.85 applied against their actual fga, rounded to closest 0.1.

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. He needs to play at least 50% of his games for an eligible franchise.

5. In each round, you select a player, so the season used for him in the roster page is in one of the following franchises or predecessor franchises:

Indy Orlando Brooklyn Utah Denver Toronto Sacramento Dallas Pheonix Portland Milwaukee

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 polls. AI will be used as a single vote when a matchup is tied and stuck.

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

If it's max three finals then shouldn't Milwaukee be included?

[Snakebites]

If it's max three finals then shouldn't Milwaukee be included?

Or if it's max two Portland should be excluded (unless I'm missing something they're the only ones with three that are currently in the pool).

Edit NVM somehow forgot Dallas also got their third last year.

Yeah, the Bucks should be included.

[durantbird]

It's max 3, I'll add the Bucks

Will we get the draft order today?

Off topic, but I just wanna say that the Luka trade is hands down the most surprising trade I've seen since I started following the NBA. Possibly even in NBA history. The Mavs are complete and total idiots.

The Lakers don’t have to draft or manage their team well, they just get gifted one or two generational talents per decade.

That slow team building stuff is for the peasants.

We’ll see what they make of this. Building a champion around Luka with minimal draft capital won’t be easy but it’s light years easier than the rebuild that awaited them given the way the team had been run these last few years.
