Just confirming because we normally apply that kind of restriction differently.

I take that as itndoesnt matter the season

How can you pair Lebron with Kawhi?

I haven't played many of these games, but this has always been how these games work in the games I have played and is what I understood the rules to be.
I agree that it's normally how it works, but the rules explicitly stated season selected regarding the all NBA rule. Was the instruction in this thread in the first post changed in the last few minutes?

The confusion is down to the OP and the draft thread having completely different wording.

I would've taken Kawhi if I knew you could take more than one North American player with an All-NBA season.

I'm not going to be get down on George because I know running these things can get occasionally messed up. But George even clarified specifically earlier in the discussion thread that the all NBA limit was related to season selected. Now all I'm seeing is that rule has been changed in only one of the threads. Not sure I would have taken LeBron there if I had known that would be it for my top of the line North American players. They have gone Joker

I'm not sure if the rule was changed. Based on his posts in this thread (both in the OP and the post I quoted), it seems clear GM intended for the restriction to apply to the chosen season only. However, the rule in the draft thread isn't worded as explicitly. Given what the precedent is for similar restrictions, that would have thrown some people off.

I am in the camp of only being allowed a single all nba winner from north america. But whatever

I dont think it would have changed much for me to this point. Have a plan amd trying to stick to it.

Wait... So I can choose a North American who has made All-NBA before, as long as they didn't in the chosen season?

Just confirming because we normally apply that kind of restriction differently.



*teams are limited to one all nba bid per north american player.

I take that as itndoesnt matter the season


I know it's not typical but Larry is correct, you may choose players in non All-NBA seasons even if they made All-NBA other years

The only reason I passed on him is because he was on my recent Championship team and I wanted to mix things up. I may end up regretting that

Thats not what i thought. Lol.

I thought it meant only 1 all nba winner for north america....meaning no other winners regardless of seasin chosen.

So no lebron and kawhi pairings

I would have 100000% made a different pick in round 3.

Yea it's fun to mix it up and not always draft the same players. I was aiming for Manu, Kyrie or Pascal with my second pick, never thought Embiid would be this close to fall to me.

I would have taken Embiid even if the fit is not perfect with Jokic but it would have been fun.

I would be personally fine with Larry drafting again since no one has drafted after him

I'm just going to hold off on drafting. Hoopsfan also expressed frustration.
