NBA Decades Draft Chat

[Nosferatu]

You will select two players from each decade.

1960's
1970's
1980's
1990's
2000's
2010's

You can draft whatever positions you want but be ready to face questions if you don't have a starter and backup for each position.

Nobody that played prior to 1960 can be drafted. THIS MEANS IF THEIR 1ST SEASON WAS THE 1959-1960 SEASON THEY CANNOT BE DRAFTED!


DO NOT use the pics thread to look for players, go to the full draft thread use Ctrl+F and type in the player's last name that you're looking for then hit enter...



MICHAEL JORDAN WILL NOT BE A PART OF THIS DRAFT!

The year the player was drafted is what decade he represents.

On The Clock : You have two hours to make your pick during the week and three hours on weekends.

Your time starts when the pick ahead of you has been posted. We do ask you not take the entire two hours.

A good way to not have your pick skipped is to leave a list.

I like the two players per decade. I'm assuming if a guy played in two decades, the first person to take him, gets him.

Question on the rules....If a player couldn't be drafted in 1959, Isn't that gonna take away nearly all the great 60's players? For instance, if a guy was drafted in, say, 1958, and had a 14-15 year career, retiring in say 1973, the bulk of his career would be 60's. Also, you would have to double check all players and so would each guy. I agree with what you're trying to do though, just trying to make it go easier. What if the rule stated any player drafted from the 60's had to play more years in the 60's than the 50's...that would eliminate a guy taking a player who was great in the 50's and retired in 60 or 61. Just a thought

 

[Nosferatu]

The year the player was drafted is what decade he represents. I'm sorry I should have made that clear.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Hey I never said I would do this draft.






Ha ha ha ha what else would I do. Great idea.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm in

 

[Nosferatu]

I suppose we should be able to count on WLK for this one as well... Hopefully Jeffro too...

 

[DJ]

DJ's in!!!! And I'm coming for that #1 spot!!!!

 

[DJ]

Year end at work was brutal, but I'm going to have some extra time on my hands so I'm baaaaaaaaaaack.

Welcome back


If you get a chance please read the rules in the OP, some things have changed since you were here last.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Sorry I pm'd a few guys including DJ.

 

[Pack 500]

I'm in

 

[wlk3]

DJ is in, I WANT REVENGE!!!

 

[Ritzarmy]

Just to be clear Wilt Chamberlain is not eligible to be picked since he was drafted in 1959?

 

[Nosferatu]

That is correct Ritz...

 

[Nosferatu]

Michael Jordan will not be a part of this draft, it's just too much of an advantage. The only way we could include him is if everyone gets him.

Its just my opinion, but I think as well as they guys have selected their teams the last 3-4 drafts, I don't think the team getting Jordan would be an automatic win. If you take Jordan out, Kareem and Magic are going to be elevated to ''automatic winners''. I'd rather leave him in, even if I didn't get the guy

 

[Ritzarmy]

I say no MJ and let's find 5 more guys.

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think people look at Kareem and Magic the way they do MJ. Every draft we have done with Jordan in it the team that had him won.


I just didn't get enough support to keep him in the draft, everyone who voiced an opinion other than you UK said they didn't want him in the draft.
