If anyone wants tips on how to approach the draft read pages 7-12 from last year's thread.

Who was it who assembled 5 picks in a row during the draft a couple years back and then used them to assemble a starting lineup of geriatric future HoF players? I seem to remember Kobe, Dirk, Tony, and the other 2 I forget.

Tadashi, you have two choices right there! Your own mini decision~

Anyway, I set up the :siren: BYOGM v.4 spreadsheet for the picks/money stuff. I'll post it in the OP so people can easily access it. If anybody can edit it to how it looked similarly last year with the money stuff, that would be much appreciated. Whenever you have time. Anybody else, please don't gently caress with the sheet that much unless you know what you're doing. We can revert any sort of major fuckups but I'd prefer people just not to try to do too much crazy stuff with it/tell us if you're wanting to make a crazy change to it.

I used the format painter to copy over a lot of the stuff from last year which is why the colors got messed up. Otherwise I just cleaned up the layout a bit, made sure the formula was still working, and made it so when we scroll the team name and remaining cap stay on the screen.

If someone wants to do the notes on the team names so we can hover for the GM like last year to save a bit of space feel free but that last change should mitigate the loss of space a bit.

First day's bidding (30 players) will be up in the morning, and you will have until 8 PM EST to private message me your bids on the players. Remember, you guys can bid on as many or as little (none) of the players that you want each day, but the total that you bid/split for each player may not exceed the money you currently have. So if you have $200 dollars on Day 6, you can bid on players but not hand out more than $200 in your bids.

I'll try to do a NBA2k league with our picks, though I'll need to do something about the coach effect though. Maybe give everyone an F/F/F coach or something since goons would make terrible hires. I'll probably not stretch it out and do a couple seasons over a week or so.

I was thinking of ways to integrate coaching, but I didn't want it to be affected by the money too much or to be mixed in with the player bidding. I was thinking either just having the default coaches for the teams picked (which is inherently unfair to some people, but not the biggest deal), maybe they can pick an assistant coach instead to coach, or we can do an extra round of bidding at the end with the leftover money people have. Maybe an incentive to keep some money at the end by being able to spend the leftover money on coaches?

Let me know what you guys think.

You should either just add coaches to the pool or not do them at all imo.

If you do the "get a head coach with your extra money" thing though you should probably figure out a way for nobody to end up coachless.

The money thing is a problem because nba teams can spend an infinite amount on coaches , so baking it into a salary cap doesn't make sense.

For a pure "we're playing a game to come up with a cost effective team that's good and it's just for fun" it does make sense, although stuff like me picking Rasheed wallace as a head coach 2 years ago couldn't be accounted for by anyone's videogame simulation.


If we're picking coaches we might as well pick training staffs

And it will go

Steve Kerr- mucho
Pop- a lot
Spo- A decent amount
Then everyone else will go for 3-10 dollars

Exclusive interview from former Mavs PG Delon Wright with the Ringer, who is the most excited out of his former club at having a chance to join a new roster.

We've only experienced the legend of Drunk Canuck by word of mouth, how is it actually being drafted by him?

Delon: Awful. The dude is seriously loving weird. The little sleep we ever got during the night was always interrupted by him yelling “WINNERS!” at the top of his lungs. He may not have even been awake, it’s like the guy was dreaming about us 24/7.

You were one of the 5 or 6 point guards drafted, right? Did anybody else actually escape the gym?

Delon: Demetrius got killed in front of us, as you know. B-Web died from heat exhaustion around day 20. I don’t think he had one single bite to eat and was only allowed one visit a day to the water fountain. Knight is a paraplegic now. I think Neto got out of it unscathed, but that’s because he sucked up to Drunk Canuck until he left him alone in his office one day and bolted out of the entrance when DC turned his head to get something from the shelf. I was almost a goner until the police stormed in the building one day because of an anonymous tip, or so I've heard.

How were the team dynamics? The rest of the Mavericks didn’t have to go through that grueling PG camp. Did know the house of horrors their GM was hiding?

Delon: In some hosed up way, I felt more at home in the gym than on the court with the team. Call it Stockholm Syndrome or whatever you want, but if you think 6 point guards were bad, the guy also decided to draft Carmelo and Kanter. The only time I got to touch the drat ball was in that gym.

I wish you luck this year, Delon. Try not to get drafted by Dallas.

Delon: He won’t take me alive if he does.
