I'm slipping on this show I think. I have heard nothing but good things about Breaking Bad. I am going to have to check for it sooner than later.

Where can one find these episodes?

Does anyone else want to smother Nancy Grace with a monster truck?

Ugh...

This woman should be the poster child for abortion.

I skip past her show on tv as fast as possible. I wouldn't waste 1/2 a second on her.

So I'm thinking... Maybe a new build-a-team but there will only be 16 teams 2 conferences with a 7-7-7-7 playoff format for the simulation...

Some more thoughts:

It would be a 12 round draft and picks would alternate between conferences (so if #1 pick went to the Eastern Conference the #2 pick would go to a Western Conference team and so on and so forth) and lower seeded teams in the draft would have home court advantage over higher teams in the draft.

Player ability would be mostly dictated upon how they played last year, there would be no injuries so I wouldn't have to readjust lineups, etc.

What do you all think?

Will take a little bit to write out the rules and plan... Should there be a salary cap / amount that players have to stay under (hard cap)?

What's so funny? Has this been done before or something :lol:

?

I wouldn't know I haven't been here that long :-(

I don't know if my soul can withstand another failed 'build a team.'

BOONE SQUAD · Post #756 » by **BOONE SQUAD** » Wed Jul 6, 2011 6:58 pm

So I'm leaning towards no conferences and just randomizing the 16 matchups. I have the rules written up just need to clean them up / make them look pretty.

Really the only think I'm debating is whether or not there should be a salary cap (a $70-$75 million cap would mean that the average salary for a 12 player roster would be $5.8-$6.25 million).

Any preferences?

Also which other board should we get in on this the 76'ers? Someone pointed out last time that whichever board we team with should be in the same time zone this time around :lol:

vincecarter4pres · Post #757 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Wed Jul 6, 2011 11:42 pm

We should do this with the Knix Board.

SpeedyG · Post #758 » by **SpeedyG** » Thu Jul 7, 2011 1:02 am

We should make it semi-randomized order. By that I mean:

1. East Coast
2. Central
3. West Coast
4. East Coast
5. Central
6. West Coast

That way, we're following everyone's "prime" time for picks.

Ugh I think everything forum-wise is pretty much done...

http://buildateamplayoffs.freeforums.or ... s-t17.html

I set a hard cap at $80 million (could get rid of it all-together since it makes thing easier). Still haven't decided how to do the seeding it would be kind of cool if we could do 8 on the Nets boards vs. 8 from other board but I doubt we can get 8 of us Nets fans :lol:

Also is this link working for everyone?
