2011 CB draft: How does my team look?/division rankings

[indeedproceed]

I'll throw one other idea out there:

Could be challenging, but a fun exercise none-the-less, NBA draft using current contracts and a salary cap (no rookie contracts).

Whaddya mean no rookie contract? It is just another thing that helps define the value of the player.

The thing I wonder is how do you handle FA's.

I think it hurts the the exercise because it would make younger players exceedingly more valuable.

Derek Rose is scheduled to make under 7 mil this year.

EDIT: to be clear, I'm suggesting that no one under a rookie contract would be eligible.

Give players on rookie contracts + free agents a realistic monetary value.

Put together a rough draft of their contract values + then allow some discussion from anyone participating in the draft prior to final figures.

For example, Derrick Rose (an easy one) is a max contract player.

I think while it's a nice idea, that may over complicate things.

If people are looking for a change of pace, how about a no-All-Stars draft?  I think we'd end up with some unbelievably competitive teams.

That's a good idea.

I've been having this idea about a buy in value draft.

Each teams starts with $60,000 to build their team through a draft. Draft determined by lottery and is snaked. All current players in the NBA are available and have values:

If a player has:

Been an All-NBA player in the last 5 years they are valued at $10,000

Been an All-Star or All-Defense player in the last 5 years they are valued at $8,000

Averaged more than 20 PPG, or 10 RPG, or 2 BPG or 2 SPG and haven't been any of the above(All-NBA, All-Star, All-Defense) in the last 5 years they are valued at $6,000

Averaged more than 50 games started for at least 3 of the last 5 years and are none of the above they are valued at $4000

Played in more than 50 games per year for at least 3 of the past 5 years and are none of the above they are valued at $2000

All other vets are valued at $1000

Is a rookie draft top 5 $5000, 6-10 $2500, 11-20 $1500 later than 20 or undrafted $1000

So the goal is to draft and build a team while being under a budget. Have no idea how trades would work. Maybe no trades so it makes commissioner work minimal.

Anyway, just an idea.

So LeBron would cost the same as Tracy McGrady?

[Who]

So LeBron would cost the same as Tracy McGrady?

Maybe make it the last 3 years instead of 5. And 2 of 3 instead of 3 of 5 for the later options.

[nickagneta]

So LeBron would cost the same as Tracy McGrady?

I know it needs some ironing out.

Maybe $10000 for an All-NBA player in the last 3 years.

I think it sounds great. Big fan of this idea or a draft like this.

[nickagneta]

But it gives you the feel of having a draft with salaries without having to be held hostage to what current players contracts are but what their relative worth is based on recent accomplishments.

Who's idea of 2 of the last 3 years is good too.
