Non-Dynastic Vintage Champions - Discussion 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Fri Mar 14, 2025 10:10 am

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, in a season where he played at least 50% of his games in one of the following franchises or predecessor franchises: OKC, Sacramento, Atlanta, Knicks, Hawks, Wizards, Philly, Detroit, Portland, GSW, Bucks.

This list of franchises consists of any franchise that won a title until the 80's, excluding those with more than four titles in the timeframe.

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

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

On the fence as I don't love that group of franchises. I'll wait to see if it draws more interest.

This looks like a fun set of teams for a draft. I'm in, if I can team up with someone since I'm not sure if I can be active enough for the window between picks with my work schedule.

why the heck not
Kids played football, drove cars, went to school, celebrated life; while soldiers, heroes, their brothers struggled to find their way home from war; and young boys watched and grew wiser in their dreams.

The disappointment of the previous game has been overcome with the potential retribution in this one.

We're actually close to where I'd cap it.

Without kdawg32086, we're at 10.

I think for this talent pool we should cap at 12, maybe 13. If we want to keep it balanced with more conventional first options.

Per private message correspondence with kdawg32086, I'm adding him to the draft as well
