So no
Denver

Bucks
Lakers
Raptors
Cavs
Spurs
Heat
Mavs
Celtics

no player seasons can be used for any of the above franchises

I’m more concerned about Cavs Lebron, though those teams have their warts too.

The 2009 Celtics recorded the best season start in franchise history, starting at 21–2, the longest winning streak in franchise history at 19 and the best season start in NBA history with 27–2. Long story short, they were a dominant team. Only reason they didn't win in 2009 is KG suffered a season-ending injury in February. Thing is, that's a non-factor for our draft cause he had already played more than half the games.

How about we expand the all-NBA 1st team restriction to include 2nd teamers as well? This way the big 3 core becomes ineligible cause both Ray and Pierce have made the all-NBA 2nd team.

I dunno. I suppose. It looked to me like KG wasn’t as good statistically that year. I feel like that could have unintended consequences and eliminate cores that aren’t OP. It also doesn’t eliminate the Cavs.

I’ve run out of steam for the moment. Only so much mental tinkering I can do on one idea at least for now. To me if it requires this many contrivances to mold a concept into something workable maybe the idea just doesn’t have a solid foundation.

Kill your darlings, as they say.

If someone else wants to pick up the ball go for it.

What do you think about make a draft after end of regular season 23-24 ?

We had mid season draft yet so this would be great idea.

Yeah, that's 100 percent going to happen.

We do it every year.

That’d be pretty deep. Probably best to keep it 99-00. No Spurs, Warriors, or probably Heat though. I guess the Heat might beat the Bulls without Jimmy. Seems unlikely.
