I want a caveat:  if I'm randomly assigned the Celtics, I want to be able to swap teams, or get a re-pick.  After KG and Powe went down in games I picked them, there's no way I'm jinxing any more players.

No soup for you!

You get what you get and you don't get upset.

And BTW, here's what we'll use to determine our teams

http://www.random.org/sequences/?min=1&max=16&format=html&rnd=new

How exactly?  I can see lining up the number that people sign up on here with the order the random generator spits out... but all that does is assign a number.  Is that going to be the "draft" order, the overall playoff seed number for the team you get, or something else?

Something like this.  I'll lay the teams out by conference finish...It really doesn't matter what order since it will be randomized, but we'll work it like this.

Cleveland   
Boston
Orlando
Atlanta
Miami   
Philadelphia
Chicago   
Detroit
L.A. Lakers
Denver   
San Antonio   
Houston
Portland   
New Orleans   
Utah   
Dallas

I'll have it generate a set of numbers

Like such
    * 3
    * 6
    * 12
    * 16
    * 10
    * 4
    * 8
    * 2
    * 13
    * 14
    * 5
    * 9
    * 1
    * 15
    * 7
    * 11

then I'll just paste the NBA team next to the #'s.  The # you are on the list will match up with the random # assigned to the slot like this

  * 3    Cleveland
    * 6   Boston
    * 12   Orlando
    * 16   Atlanta
    * 10   Miami
    * 4   Philadelphia
    * 8   Chicago
    * 2   Detroit
    * 13   L.A. Lakers
    * 14   Denver
    * 5   San Antonio
    * 9   Houston
    * 1   Portland
    * 15   New Orleans
    * 7   Utah
    * 11   Dallas

So in this scenario I would have Portland:

1) Redz
2) johnnyrondo
3) Big Ticket
4) CelticsWhat35
5) Roy Hobbs
6) Truck Lewis
7) silvershamrocke

Hmm...  if Pierce, Rondo, Ray, and Perk go down with serious injuries in consecutive games, I'm blaming it on you!

That's a 1 in 16 risk I'm willing to take!

Celts could win the series and you could still conceivably win yours as well.

Don't think of the NBA team you get as "your team", think of them as your available pool of players to choose from.  They can lose, and you could still win if you pick better than your opponent does from his available pool of players to choose from.

If you beat your team YOU move on to the next round, where you will be given a new to team to choose players from.

Another question:  let's say I get the Cavs in the first round, and then draw the Cavs again in the second round.  Can I re-pick the same players I used in the first round?
