1980-2010 Draft Game

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Thu Jun 7, 2012 2:14 am

Just an idea I'm kicking out here to see if anyone is interested. Trying to see if anyone would be interested in doing a fantasy type draft game where you build an NBA team using players who were drafted between the years of 1980 and 2010.

How will you build your team? Will you draft a "dream team?" Will you draft some role players to fit around your stars? What kind of team would you want if you could pick from any players in those 31 years of drafts?

Anyone interested?

If this is successful we can aler the eligible years for future games to see what you do differently.

I figured that people could get into petty arguments about why their team is better and everyone elses sucks. Thought it could be a nice break from bad Rockets trade proposals and slow parts of the work day.

Basically....a pointless time waster!

too many players in 30 years
most don't even know how those players are from 80-90
should cut it down to from 91-10

Nah, I want to start big on this. I think that most of the people here are familiar with a lot of the guys drafted in the 80s like Hakeem & MJ. If this is a success the thought is to do another one, only in a tighter timeframe like you suggested. Just a fun way to see what people come up with when given certain criteria.

Thanks for the sticky, TMU!
