Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons up to and including 2023-24 are eligible, subject to the restriction outlined below.

2. Only players who have played against LeBron James in at least one of his record 287 playoff games are eligible. You may use any season of these players' careers, not just ones in which they faced LeBron.

Link for LeBron's opponents: https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/teammates_and_opponents.fcgi?pid=jamesle01&type=o

(Note this list weirdly includes play-in games and the in-season tournament championship game - only affects a handful of players though. Only the playoff games count.)

3. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

4. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

5. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBABABA

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to myself or another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

10. After you have made your draft selection, please quote and/or PM the person that goes after you so they will know that it is their turn and they are on the clock. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by playoffs.

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs begin.

Seeing a lot of similar guys and a real need to capitalize on that late second rounder. So let’s go with the guy who fits with everyone.

I guess I am up.

I'll go with the most cost-effective wing who can play multiple spots and easier to build around.

I swore this guy off, but the only time I had success with him it was alongside Kawhi.

James Harden
