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

Thats kind.

Will see what others say

I'm cool with it too since there was general confusion on the rules

[GeorgeMarcus]

*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

So no LeBron and Kawhi pairing?

It's perfectly acceptable unless both are All-NBA seasons, in which case it's not

[GeorgeMarcus]

Rules are the same in both now- I had only made the last change in the Draft page

[Fadeaway_J]

My first picks would likely have been the same, but this definitely changes my strategy going forward.

Gonna sit the rest of the draft out.

Yeah you got royally screwed.

[GeorgeMarcus]

Just so I'm clear, what happened for you to get screwed? What would you have done differently?

[Dr Positivity]

Well this game is pretty ruined imo

[GeorgeMarcus]

We are just people on a message board playing a game, it's early enough in the draft that we can restart if that's what needs to be done

That would basically ruin this game imo

How so exactly? lol

Unless I'm missing something, the only difference is calibrating player value differently. I don't see any game-ruining issues here but it's also not that important so I'm fine just restarting with the normal All NBA restrictions. Better to do 1 where everyone is on the same page (and participating) rather than do one half ass

I think the problem here (and the reason the restriction normally isn't done that way) is that there are plenty of All-NBA level guys who just happened to have a prime season where they didn't make it for whatever reason. KG is the most obvious example, but there are others. Obviously those seasons might not be quite as valuable, but they're still well above someone like, say, Sheed or Jrue (which is the level of player most of us thought we had access to).

That isn't an issue in and of itself, but it does throw the draft out of whack when most people didn't realise these guys were available in the first place. Like, there's no way KG falls to the start of the third round if people knew they could pick his 2005-06 season and then pair him with, say, Duncan or Steph in an MVP year.

I'm just gonna make the executive decision that we start over but before we do I'd like some clarity on why the existing rule is so problematic

You don’t have to restart, just void the Kawhi, Horford, KG picks. I don’t think anyone’s draft was affected as you went Dirk AK.

My main issue was KG Kawhi dropped into the middle of 2nd round when they’re like the two best picks

Also I’m not a fan of the rule anyway as I think there would be a falloff in MVP talents with a prime non All NBA season somewhere

Thank you Fade. Based on the reaction I'm switching to the normal way and we can just start over. Apologies to those who were happy with their picks but like I said, better to have everyone on board. I'll post the new Draft thread now with the edited rule. I'll keep the same draft order

If this is true then the affected parties should repick asap and then we can proceed. If it does affect anyone's decision then we can start over for real.

I'll edit the wording to reflect the change in the Draft thread (and in here)

[durantbird]

Can I get a summary of what happened? Can't be true that Laimbeer picked Kawhi as well, right? If that's a broken rule, let's fix the rule.

Let's just repick everywhere since Laimbeer's point and fix the problematic rule

[ReggiesKnicks]

I will recalibrate. Obviously picked Kyrie/Luka so far.
