Nineties players

It should be noted that this game was already played, but last time it was in 2017.

Middle Is Fine Draft.

Spoiler:

The teams that are in the middle in terms of most wins since 1990:

I'm fine playing any of the four, but I voted for exclusion

[Fadeaway_J]

I'm concerned we won't get enough participants to make it challenging, but I voted for the 90s players draft.

[Snakebites]

I voted for my idea (Thanksgiving Leftovers)- I think it fits a smaller group of drafters and eliminates so many conventional team building options both in terms of top end talent and elite role players.

But I'll play any of them.

[wackbone]

Any would be fine to me, although TBH not sure if I'll have time or not.

[Laimbeer]

Exclusion but I really won't be available until Monday

[MadNESS]

I’d play any of the 4

[durantbird]

I opened the 90s players draft given poll results, but I'd vote for the Thanksgiving Leftovers Draft after that

[durantbird]

Seems like 2 wanted the exclusion idea (Laimbeer, Dr P) and 2 wanted the Thanksgiving (me and Snakebites).

I'll throw in here this recent idea that was and oned by Larry:

Goats franchise pairs

Pairs according to the top two franchises for GOAT candidates (from top 10 of the top 100 project in the PC board):

1. Miami Cavs
2. Bucks Lakers
3. Bulls Washington
4. Houston Toronto
5. Philly Warriors
6. Lakers Orlando
7. Minny Boston

But maybe if we want to play with the Thanksgiving Leftovers we should do it next, before the leftovers are getting too cold.

Good either way.

Just pick one and roll with it

How about:

Randomly assigned a team from the East and a team from the West, per drafter.

You “draft” 4 pairs, so 4 players from each team.

No draft per say, but we make our own teams and post the rosters

Only categories allowed:
1 MVP
1 All NBA
1 All Star
1 All D
1 Champ
3 other

We could have 20 teams used, so we could eliminate like the Wizards, Nets, Hawks, etc.

Can teams have the same player? I would have to assume so right? I think thats cool

We could do a GOAT draft.

You can only draft a top 5 player from the history of each team as per Ranker.

No FGA limit

Another variation here might be that only players who are top 5 for some club in their All-Time list of a certain category (PTS, REB, BLK, STL, AST, 3pt, etc.) are eligible. That would make it more neutral than Ranker.com, also will be probably a bit more friendly on the role players.
