WhatIfSports Draft - complete

[Ghostown42]

For the Olympian criteria, can we choose players from the FIBA World Championship series or does it have to be from the Summer Olympics?

Olympics only, any year post-merger.

[Bush4Ever]

Fuck it, I will go with 1983 Sidney Moncrief

By the way, it might be helpful to keep a rolling tally of who has been picked/is off the board.

Look at post #2 on the first page of this thread.

It stretches across the screen on my laptop, so I can only see like 70 percent of the list.

Just for clarification say I would take somebody from the 2004 Olympics, that means I am selecting the 03-04 season for the player and not the 04-05 season, correct?

3rd to last pick in back-to-back rounds. Bummer...

It's only fair that you could choose either one.

I have updated the draft and rules for round 3. It's in the 1st post. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Fixed just for you, pumpkin.

Damn, my team is gonna be GREAT

D-Rose in MVP form attacking the paint, while I have a HOF Center in Ewing swatting everything the opponent brings in.

You do realize you aren't going to be going against regular teams, right?

I really hope Walton doesn't get fake injured. I have a feeling I fucked up that pick.

In real life, Walton 77 was super duper good.

I am almost positive injuries don't come into play here.

When I first signed up to whatifsports like 10-11 years ago, they had an exhibition league (trial) option.

Because the teams were capped by salary, and salary was directly correlated with games played, for my first teams I just picked a bunch of superstars who got injured in that particular year, so I could make the cap while having a bloated team. Injuries didn't come into play then.

My first real team had regular injuries though, but nothing too bad.

3rd pick this round? Nice.

[Max]

Can you please tell me if this will be similar to fantasy, where as we pick a starting lineup for each game? Also, how often are the games and how often can we play our regular starting 5?

All the games are simulated together. You set your players minutes once, that's it.

I offer Rodman for Jordan. Phuture, you in?

So no trades?
No lineup/rotation changes?

Since most of us know nothing about this simulation, is it possible to reassess everything about halfway through the season. For example, let's say I think Larry Bird can run SG or PF for me... I'd hate to waste an entire season only to learn that he does a lot better at SF only.

So our starting 5 will always be our starting 5? Does that mean not all 12 guys on the roster will play?

I think everyone has to play at least 1 minute per game

I don't think you can do that but I'm not sure

I would like to force the simulation thingy to let us do it.

@ghostown42 get in here.

Edit: well that didn't work

[elmouse03]

Do we have access to the simulations? Is there a name for the league?

It's called I Rule and You Suck
