Draft rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1989-90 to 2023-24 seasons will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1989 but the season you choose can't be before 1989-90.

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. The player pool will be determined based on the players selected in the first round. If a player played for multiple franchises, you must state with your pick which franchise you will be assigning to him. For every player selected, his seasons with the selected franchise will be added to the available pool. For example, if you select LeBron James (Heat), then Miami Heat seasons from 2010-11 to 2013-14 are added to the player pool. Once the first round is over, the total seasons selected will constitute the available pool for the remaining seven rounds. Only players who entered the league in 1989-90 or later are eligible to be selected in the first round.

4. 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 will still be charged 3.0 for that player.

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

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 myself or 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 playoffs.

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 begin.

Feeling like I am not going to get a traditional 2nd star....so let go with an elite 1st option at making others far better than they are on their own.

I'm going milquetoast here. Makes sense to get a guy who checks about all the boxes and fits with about anyone.

Kawhi Leonard - Spurs
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

This pool needs some meat to it.

Let’s add 20 years of Dallas history to it.
