Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1979-80 to 2024-25 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. You may pick any player in a season where he played at least 50% of his games for one of the following 8 clubs:

OKC
Denver
Minnesota
Golden State
Indiana
New York
Boston
Cleveland

These are the teams that finished top 8 in post season in the 2024-25 season.

Predecessor franchises are also eligible.

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

Ok I didn't understand why you called it top 8, will adjust.

For me it's round two/semi conference finals, top x is more about regular season

I'll play if you get to 10

Guess I'll play

Kind of unconventional, but upon further review of the available pool, after changing my initial franchise list, I think we might actually need to go back a while. Include 80s and maybe also 70s.

What'd you all think?

I guess I'll pull a Fade and say I'll play at 10.

By my count it needs one more person after me.

It does seem a bit light with the updated list of franchises.

Yeah, tending to add the 80s. Can be a bit rough otherwise, sort of inevitable here. Originally the list had franchises like Lakers and Houston which fitted the timeframe. Had I gone this franchise list to begin with, I'd notice that early and start with 80s to now right ahead.

Unless anybody objects, I'll update it later and quote everyone to make sure they are aware. 70s to now will also work well.

I currently have an issue with my phone. I'll try to fix it soon before starting the draft.

Are likely to start today?

I'll start it soon. Got a temporary replacement phone

Is it just me or basketball-reference changed? I tried to enter Larry Nance's page to see his season FGAs and I don't see it. Instead I'm seeing game highs.
