An MVP caliber player is worth more than 25% more than an all-nba player, and much more than 56% more than an all-star.
Says who? Miami had 2 MVP caliber players last year and came in second. Dallas had zero and won it all. The year before Boston had zero and came in second by one really bad half in a game 7.
Hey, we are trying to deal with arbitrary and simple numbers not exact numbers. Let's not try to make this too complicated.
If we have to satisfy your idea of mathematical value ratios we can always increase the MVP scale to $13000 or $13500.
Well since I said it Nick, I guess says me. Miami was in the Finals and they lost in six. They did pretty well, despite lacking much quality depth.
Again according to this system LeBron is only worth twice as much as Mario Chalmers, Correy Maggete, and Vince Carter according to your value chart. In the actual NBA LeBron is worth what 20 to 25 wins for his team? The other guys might be worth 5, (if you think they have a positive net impact at all looking at you Maggette!)
I was giving my opinion that you've set the values of the MVP caliber players too low. As Who has said the cap wouldn't change things for the first 5 to 7 rounds from the looks of it. If you want to make a game fun, it should have interesting choices involved, right now the values are such that getting an MVP doesn't inhibt building your team at all.
Rather your draft position will still dominate everything, just like our normal drafts.
Edit: A max salary player (20 million) in the current CBA can take up around 30-35% of his team's cap. Do we want that an MVP's cap number to be less than that by that much?
Obviously there are players that will be in the system that are over valued and under valued. So you took the best player in the game and compared him to the most overvalued to make your point.
Is Derrick Rose worth 25% more than Dirk Nowitzski, or Chris Paul, or Deron Williams or Pau Gasol, or Amare? Is he worth 50 something percent more than KG, or Manu, or Zach Randolph, or Blake Griffin or even Rondo?
It works both ways. There will be bargains and busts at all value scales but you have to have some criteria.
And as I said this is a work in progress and we can lower the salary cap which I already said is a good idea. I think you are right though that looking at who will and won't be drafted because of price would be interesting and would become more interesting and fun if you really have to sharpen the pencil.
I think ultimately you want it fun but at the same time not super difficult. $42,000 in my opinion would be to low. $45-47K would be best if there are 20 owners then we wouldn't have most teams made up of tons low level starters and bench guys and one great player. Teams at the end of the draft could get two great players and still be able to afford a bench.
