2014 NBA Re-Draft Sign Ups

[jonathanlambert33]

We will be conducting an NBA Re-Draft. We'll fill up to 30 teams, the draft order will be randomly selected, and we will be doing a snake draft, then we'll decide on a way to rate those rosters. 12-13 rounds, all players currently in the league including rookies. Just claim your team in this thread, if you have any questions just let me know.

Yes, every team will have a first rounder, second rounder, etc. Snake draft, 12-13 rounds. That sort of thing.

Open for discussion on if we should allow trades or not.

 

[Pugz]

Nah, that would seem sort of redundant lol

 

[RipCity32]

This should be fun

We going to have a tournament for the best team?

I participated in one of these a while back and that's how we did it.  Had to post our rotation/depth chart, then write why we thought we would beat the opponent.  I don't know if people would want to go that indepth, but even if we just posted up lineups we could do it.
 
Here's an example:

Rules:
-Vote for the team you think would win in a head to head game
-Would prefer that you post and explain your vote a little bit
-You can post a description in here about how you think your team matches up against your opponent
-Feel free to discuss the matchups and argue all you want about who would win in the threads
-You can vote for yourself
 
Atlanta Hawks
 
C Emeka Okafor
PF Josh Smith
SF Danny Granger
SG Nick Young
PG Jose Calderon
 
Bench :
Taj Gibson, CJ Miles
Landry Fields, Eric Bledsoe
Ed Davis, Francisco Garcia
Jordan Crawford
 
With the starting group, plenty of offensive shooting power with Nick Young and Danny Granger at the 3 and 2 spots, with a decent point guard in Jose Calderon. Josh Smith has the ability to go outside on the perimeter or to bring it in from midrange to the rim providing even more scoring from the four. Finally at the 5, a defensive anchor in Mek, to help balance out the scoring from 2-4 spots.

Bench provides plenty of scoring options and also has some defenders in Taj, Bledsoe, and Landry Fields

 
 
VS
 
 
Sacramento Kings
 
PG: Ty Lawson / Brandon Knight / Nate Robinson
SG: Wesley Matthews / JR Smith
SF: Lebron James / Reggie Williams
PF: Kris Humphries / JJ Hickson
C: Marcin Gortat / Jordan Hill / Kosta Koufos

My team all starts with Lebron. He's the best player in the game. Unless Atlanta wants to move Smith, they simply have nobody that can guard him. He will also make things too difficult for Danny Granger defensively, just like we saw in their playoff series. At PG, Jose Calderon is simply not quick enough to slow down the speedy Ty Lawson. Calderon will not be able to contain Lawson line to line and he would excel at pushing the ball. Wesley Matthews could force the shot happy Nick Young into taking some difficult and bad shots. Matthews is not a great defender, but he's good enough to slow down Young. At the four, if Atlanta decides to put Smith on Lebron you will have a offensive mismatch in Granger on Humphries. Humphries will be able to out muscle him downlow and will collect a lot of offensive boards. At C, this is the most interesting matchup. Gortat has the ability to put Mek in positions he does not want to be in. He can pull Mek out of the paint making things easier for guys like Lawson and Lebron, or he can force Mek into guarding those guys in the pick and roll which he can't do.

Cool, I'd like to do that if everyone wants to.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Here's what I was thinking. I'll do the random order on Sunday night. We draft, everyone has to draft atleast 9 or 10 players? The remaining 4-5 players can be signed via the players that were not drafted.

Boston; no trades

I'd say we just draft the full 13, then sign anyone else if you really wanted a full roster.
 
Though I guess that might get a little tedious.

What I was saying was we will still have the full 13, but everyone who makes trades must still draft at least 9-10 guys.

Actually though, I could see where it would be fun to draft 10 or 11 guys then have a "free agent frenzy" for the last three spots. First come first serve thing.

I'll take the Bulls
