3 Degrees of Franchise Draft (80s to Now) - Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by 8on » Thu Mar 30, 2017 3:40 pm

1. You can draft any player, and any season of his career between 1979-80 and 2015-16

2. You have to draft 8 players, maximum amount of 90.0 total FGA. All FGAs will be taken from basketball reference

3. Each of your successive picks must have played for the same franchise at some point between 1949-50 and 2015-16. For example, if you select Tim Duncan first, your next pick must have played for the Spurs. If your second pick was Dennis Rodman (SAS 94/95), your third pick could have played for either the Spurs, Bulls, Pistons, Lakers, or Dallas. This continues until you make all 8 selections.

4. We will use ABBABBAB format.

5. For each pick, you have 2 hours to make your selection. Clock is inactive from Midnight - 9 AM EST. If you miss your window, you can pick at anytime.

6. Please quote the next person after making your selction.

7. For franchise changes/list, we will use basketball reference: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/

8. Clock will start at 9 AM EST, 3/31/17

There's really only one way to go with this. I had him just recently but that was Orlando version and with the Franchise hook he's just the only guy that makes any sense here. Gimme the Diesel:

Shaquille O'Neal. An absolute beast at peak lakers form that I'm excited to finally get the chance to take and he opens tons of doors for my next pick.

Larry Bird

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Whatever. Changing strategies again. Will in all likelihood regret this later.

Would have been an easy decision for me if Diamondman didn't take Moses. Not angry about this guy though:
