I am extremely down with being the Nizhny Novgorod Red Deer.

I am extremely not down with getting a bottom-of-the-first-half pick in the rookie draft.

Apologies if the full terms were posted and I missed it. I wanted to confirm the following assumptions:

1) 1 year league
2) Current injuries off? i.e. is Klay a viable pick?
3) Frequency of rebalancing? i.e. if rookies break out, if players clearly got worse, etc

Or if there's a link or post I missed just link me please.

I'm really enjoying the idea of all these pampered athletes having to grit their teeth, steel their soul, and lash all their worldly possessions to a dog sled that will take then to the outskirts of pre-soviet russia.

At first I was apprehensive at being assigned to Nizhny Novgorod. After all, it sounds like one of the early zones in Metal Gear Solid 3 where you are given simple tutorials while trying not to get eaten by such as alligators. But time is running out so I threw my duffel over the donkey's rear end and sallied forth. Friends, let me tell you about the quaint little oblast that I've come to think of as Nizhnyworld.

Home Stadium: Nizhny Novgorod Stadium


Team Identity: The Red Deer


Proud. Regal. Communist

Honorary Waifu???


Partnered Medical Facility The Nizhny Novgorod State Medical University


This team has all the infrastructure it could possibly need to succeed. All it needs is some strong yeomen willing to stand at their post against all odds and give everything to the cause.

With this ethos in mind, the Nizhny Novgorod Red Deer select Aleksej Pokuševski

The Nizhny Novgorod Red Deer believe in second chances. We believe in casting off toxic teammates and situations. We believe in comradery and shared meaning.

We believe in Paul George.

As a Magic fan, he is. A lot of games he'll just have like 4 points and then score 8 points at the end of a game when it's out of reach so it looks like a decent game but he's not really doing much out there.

They call that the Fast Fournier Transform.

I think I just recreated the 50+ win Hawks. Looking forward to losing in the first round of the playoffs, too.

Making a 50 win team in this environment would be very good since this format will necessarily drive much more parity than real life.
