I wouldn't think so. The reason we have/had(?) a deadline for the lead GM was because we need to get this thing going.

If you guys are really in a rush, might as well set the first pick time to Sunday 9:00PM EST.

I'm good with that because I'm going to be in the city for the weekend til Sunday. I'll have my brother's smartphone though, so i can see what i can do

Yeah, Sunday evening seems like a good time to start.

Wth? Cool it, kid, I am completely good for this and I don't appreciate clowns making sarcastic comments along the way. I've probably done more mocks (albeit football, not basketball) than you have. I wasn't saying I was confused about what was being said but rather that the state of this whole thing has been haphazard.

Let's rock.

1) It just seems like everyone wants to push up the start date for this so Paco's trying to confirm with every GM.

2) FYI: Its all in good fun and the trash talking will increase exponentially as it moves along. But I think br7knicks' point is simply that remaining active and keeping up is non-negotiable.

I'm up for starting Sunday too. Would anyone like to be my assistant GM?

Even if that is the crux of his point, we are all better served if he makes it in a less obviously disparaging manner. I don't think his true intent was simply that given his laughably out-of-place sarcasm, but I'm willing to overlook it if we can be more appropriate with each other in general.

Sunday seems like an excellent start day to me, btw.

Also, are the rules posted anywhere?

Someone will have to adapt the rules from the past but the basics:

- 13 rounds of drafting
- if you don't pick within the allotted time, you get skipped (the clock starts once the pick is made, so if someone makes their pick at 12:00pm and the time limit is 6 hours, you would have until 6:00pm to make your pick. If you don't and you get skipped, then the next in line has from 6:01pm-12:01am to make their pick).
- if you're skipped you must make up your pick and you may do so at any time
- trades must be announced and agreed to in the discussion thread, then its made official when its edited into the official list of trades and changed in the draft order if applicable
- there will be less time between picks as we move along
- you must draft a coach with one of your 13 picks
- only current NBA players - no international players, college players or D leaguers with no NBA experience (though presumably guys like Andrei Kirilenko, Aaron Brooks, Sonny Weems and Greg Oden would be okay)
- after the 3 rounds, there will be a free agent pickup period where its first come first serve if you want to fill out your 15 man roster
- judging will be based on a sim I think and based on categories such as win-now, most exciting/showtime, best defense, best youth, best salary cap management, etc.

exactly. it takes a lot of preparation and getting ready to make this thing smooth. past ones haven't been as easy going, and we've learned from it. and with being new, the only thing you should be commenting on is how much fun you're having.

but then again, i'm already known as a crotchety old man; my younger brother made fun of me for being 25 and playing pick up with 2 metal knee braces already. thanks for the logic help Al
