Somebody(the poster, not some random person) thought another Historical Draft with a 2000's theme, an a 21stCentury Draft, would be a great idea for this summer, after the season ended. Well, the season is unexpectedly over early and we will all have a very large Celtics/NBA hole to fill.
So let's do it now.
Its time for what's looking to be our annual Historical Draft. I am gauging interest in people who would like to own teams. I will be the commissioner once again.
SCHEDULING: The draft would run from Monday March 23rd to Wednesday April 1st 16th. Finals rosters would be due on Friday April 3rd. There will be time to present your team and why you think it's the best team Monday April 6th. Voting takes place for best team on Tuesday April 7th. The winner will be announced Wednesday, April 8th at noontime, EST. Note: this could all be pushed back a week depending on different factors.
Regarding times, that is flexible and anyone who wants to play, please state what time(EST) works best for you. Morning, afternoon or night. It's usually a 3-4 hour window needed to get the drafting done.
RULES: Each player will be assigned a team and run that team as it's owner. Players to be drafted will be any player that played in the NBA between the years 2000 to present. Once a player is drafted he is the property of that team. Once all rounds of the draft are over, each owner will be required to submit a roster picking the season that each of his or her players will be represented by. The season chosen must be a season within the timeframe of the draft.
Example: In first round I select LeBron James, Luka Doncic in the 2nd round and 3rd Round Al Horford, etc. When it comes time to present your team you must select the year you want to represent them. Therefore(choosing random years):
LeBron James 2010-11
Luka Doncic 2019-20
Al Horford 2015-16
And so on.
The draft will be a snake draft. There will be 13 rounds. Monday March 23 - Thursday March 26 there will be one round per day with picks in 15 minute intervals. The 5th through 13th rounds will be two rounds per day for 4 days with picks in 10 minute intervals. These rounds will take place on Friday March 27th through Wednesday April 1st. When the draft ends there will be a period over the next couple of days to trade and the trade deadline will end on Friday April 3rd when team rosters will need to be submitted.
Of course, making trades is part of the game. A full set of rules which everyone will need to adhere to will be posted later.
Also, please read this regarding personal conduct in these games. They are more stringent than the general rules of the blog:
https://forum.celticsstrong.com/index.php?topic=67351.0Voting for best team happens on April 8th where you submit your rankings of all the teams, except yours, and I, the commissioner, will tabulate the votes and announce the winner the next day.
If this is to go off on the 23rd, I will need answers by interested parties to happen between now and March 19th. If we don't get enough people, we can push things back a week until we do.
If you are interested in playing, please post that you are below and let me know which time slot works best for you morning(9-12ish), afternoon(1-4ish) or night(7-10ish) in the EST zone.
Anyway, let's get things rolling. Who is in?
