Billups Carter Draft - Discussion

[durantbird]

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1997-98 up to and including 2023-24 are eligible, subject to the restriction outlined below.

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

3. 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.

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

5. In each round you need to select a player who played at least 50% of his games in the season for one of the following teams:

Toronto Raptors
Atlanta Hawks
Brooklyn Nets
Dallas Mavericks
Memphis Grizzlies
Orlando Magic
Sacramento Kings
Pheonix Suns
Detroit Pistons
Denver Nuggets
Minnesota Timberwolves
Boston Celtics
LA Clippers
NY Knicks
Portland Trail Blazers

Predecessor franchises are also eligible.

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

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 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 rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

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/rankings begin.

In honor of their induction. Won't start until one of the playoffs end.

[Dr Positivity]

Ok

[MadNESS]

Think there’s too many teams and the years should start when they did. I’m in

[Dr Positivity]

It's tight but I think we can do 97-20 if there's not too many sign ups

[Fadeaway_J]

I'm back on the "in if we get to 10" train

[Snakebites]

Same

[Larry_Russell]

sure

[parsnips33]

I'm in regardless but what does "Billups Carter" mean?

They’re being inducted to the Hall.

So their franchises are open.

The idea to limit minimum year to 97-98 seems like a good one, but I don't particularly like how limiting to 2019-20 as upper bound affects the pool, though it might still be feasible.

I'll apply the lower bound to the rules.

I’d prefer to keep it going up to modern seasons at least. Care less about including the 80s.

I’m in.

You could include Billups coaching years of 22-24 (or 21 if you stretched to include assistant)

I’m comfortable with 1998-2024.

No need to make it complicated like this.

I'm comfortable with 98-24 and using Dr P's justification as Billups' assistant and HC years

Almost makes me think the Blazers should be added, but there are already plenty of teams.

[flaco]

Count me in.

[Blazer50]

Ill give it a try -

[Snakebites]

One more gives us 10 with Fade.

I once again marvel at how little the two Ny teams bring to the table since 1997.
