  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
It's (almost) that time again! The 'Pick Two' draft is nigh upon us, my brothers!

The Pick Two game is a fantasy basketball game, but for those few uninitiated players, its not a fantasy numbers game like Yahoo Fantasy Basketball or anything of the sort.

Its a game where you use your own basketball knowledge and ability to pick out players' strengths and weaknesses to draft a team you think would benefit the franchise most. Are you a 'win-now' guy? A GM with an eye for the future? Its your team, pick who you want, how you want.

Each GM starts out with an existing NBA franchise. You then select two players from that franchise as building blocks, and the draft commences.

That is a link to the thread from last season.

That is a link to an idea of how the teams looked at the end.

This game has no winners, no real evaluation period (unlike the summer (and infamous) 'CB Draft').

Its supposed to be laid back and fun. If you join, and make it not fun, you get thrown out on your butt.

This thread is just to gauge interest. Draft will start on Monday, Feb 13th, team selections and keepers will be made the week of 2/6 to 2/10.

The draft will take 3 weeks (which will just about bring us to the trade deadline).

If you wanna play, speak now. Preference given to owners who successfully participated in the draft last year.

MAZEL TOV! How did I miss this news? Is it because I never check the baby thread?
