Future Draft Games

[migya]

Bird, Fade, Tony, migya, and Dr P are the better ones for me at first glance. Overall a very solid job of building by everyone and the talent wasn't as thin as I anticipated.

I like most teams to be honest. Your is quite good too Laimbeer. I'm not opposed to very good scorers that are average defenders, as it depends how good the are scoring and how they blend with other players on both ends.

Only 7 guys are in the current draft game that's happening, so we can have another draft, not just for those not in the Four Seasons Draft, but anyone here.

Draft game proposal - Awards only draft. Participants can only select players who won one of the nba awards; MVP, DPOY, MIP, ROY, 6TH MAN OY, FMVP.

There are just over 140 different players who won these awards so the player pool works for 15 participants.

Add All-Star Game MVP and Hall of Fame?

Maybe Allstar starters otherwise the pool would be too big.

you could limit the time period so you don't get all the Hall of Famers. or you could do All-Star starters. or whatever.

Was thinking 1980 onwards.

Let's do something soon regardless, Four Seasons is almost over.

The awards draft is cool. MVP, Finals MVP, AS MVP, DPOY, ROY, 6MOY, and maybe for fun the Citizenship award?

MIP and HOF. HOF could be useful in a number of ways.

maybe have it be so that you have to use the season in which the player won the award, unless it’s HOF in which case you can use any season? Basically functions as an exception

Doesn't HOF allow us all the stars who retired before 2013? That is kind of a huge pool then.

It’s only one pick. If you can afford someone like that, good. Not every All Star is a Hall of Famer. Like I said, it provides a bit of flexibility.

The Five Seasons Draft!
89-90, 95-96, 99-00, 05-06, 16-17

In his edition, you have at least one, if not two prime seasons of all the MVPs and 1st team All NBA guys.

Oh wait you mean one for each award? Not just the pool of all those players? I dig that actually, I'm fine with that.

What about this twist on the MVP teammates idea?

You can pick anyone who was a teammate of an MVP at any point in their careers. You can also use any season of that player's career. However... The MVPs themselves are not eligible to be picked, and you can't use any MVP to link to more than one player.

Might be a little overpowered to those who get the elite non MVPs like Wade, Kawhi, Pippen, Paul, moreso than the last one because high picks can't be spent on MJ and LBJ this time, and because some of the stars like Ewing and recent players like Davis/Giannis aren't available

I don't think those guys are that overpowered considering the talent pool is far deeper. Is having Wade or Pippen instead of someone like T-Mac or Hill really going to decide the draft?

How about a game based on 2017-18 salaries? Instead of a FGA cap, we would get a salary cap. Of course there would be some bargains, but that would be part of the strategy. A different way to value players and same season for all, eliminating any era translation.

You mean just using players that are playing this coming season? Because how can you use players who played years ago and got much less salaries.

Just 2017-18 seasons would be used, along with their 2017-18 salaries.

A short FGA game (50-60) would probably be like the recent games in terms of deciding between one MJ and balance

60 FGA isn't remotely realistic for an 8-man rotation. It's tight even for a starting lineup.

I was thinking of doing the one player per country idea next, just trying to work out the best way to prevent top picks from being overpowered.
