90s NBA DRAFT - FINISHED (MATCHUPS LAST POST)

[Brooklyn Zoo]

1. Draft a roster of 12 players (you're getting the 90s version of that player. you can specify a year if you'd like. for certain players, you may have to)
2. In order to spice things up, your goal is to build a team that you think could win a title in the 90s. You can do a write up at the end of the draft to help people understand your vision.
3. At the end of the draft, I'll randomize matchups and we'll have a tournament to decide the winner. Each matchup will be decided by votes in separate threads.

Thoughts?

One last thing I had in mind but wasn't sure about is only making players who played a certain amount of years (maybe 3 or 5) in the 90s eligible. When you sign up, respond with your thoughts on that, and we'll come to a consensus.

[King Kamala]

Oh you know I'm in. I would say 5 but I don't feel too strongly about it and willing to hear arguments out for 3.

 

[909]

Definitely in and I put 3.

 

[Brocklock]

I'm most definitely in. I went 3, but really I'm fine since Jon Koncak is available either way we do it.

 

[Youth N Asia]

I’ll join.

 

[AA484]

I'm in. 3 is fine

 

[Gert]

I'm in. I voted doesn't matter but only because you would have to declare the year you select them at the end of the draft.

 

[MFer]

Signing up.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

im in

 

[Youth N Asia]

I’m also good for 3 years by the way

 

[alfdogg]

I’ll do it. I voted 3 years as well.

Seasons are 89-90 to 98-99 I assume?

Also, is this a time slot draft or serpentine?

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

I’ll do it. I voted 3 years as well.

Seasons are 89-90 to 98-99 I assume?

Also, is this a time slot draft or serpentine?

yep. So I’m thinking that if you played in a year, even if it’s not the full year (so the 89-90 season counts as one), it counts as one year.

Will be a serpentine draft

 

[Baby Shoes]

 

[Mickey Massuco]

in, and it shouldn't matter how many years because how else am I gonna draft Vince Carter DAMMIT

 

[Baby Shoes]

Out goes my hope of building a team around rookie Dirk and Pat Garrity

 

[Mickey Massuco]

damn magic johnson isn't eligible either

bah gawd just realized you can change your vote on this new board, do it guys!

 

[AA484]

damn magic johnson isn't eligible either

Technically, Magic played 3 seasons if you count the partial return season in 95/96.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Spoiler

Magic would be

 

[909]

Dudes who won real awards in the 90s should be allowed to be picked regardless of how long they played in the 90s imo.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

HELL YEAH VINSANITY BABY

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Noooooo. I want to feel the 90s. Vince feels mad 00s with his Nike Shox

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

yep. So I’m thinking that if you played in a year, even if it’s not the full year (so the 89-90 season counts as one), it counts as one year.

Will be a serpentine draft

I’m going to start another poll because we already decided on 3 years

Two options:

89-90 to 98-99
89-90 to 99-00

technically, if you play in the 99-00 year, and you played 97-98, 98-99, 99-00 would be playing in three different 90s years (even if 97 wasn’t a full year). So up to everyone.

Ok shit I can’t start a new poll, so just post your thoughts

 

[Gert]

I like the 89-90 to 99-00 version. No real reason though.

 

[AA484]

89/90 to 98/99, go with the seasons that have the Finals played in the 90s.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Limit it players who played all ten years of the 90s only

 

[Mickey Massuco]

lmao sorry shaq, YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED

 

[alfdogg]

99

 

[AA484]

I also feel like if you are able to pick one player from one year then all players, regardless of seasons played, should be eligible.

 

[Brocklock]

I'm going 89/90 to 99/00

The last two months of 1999 is still 90's so why not and I want VC involved in this too.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

It’s 3-2 right now (I’m voting 90-99) tho YPOV and 909 will definitely vote for 00 so 4-3. 5 more votes and I will generate the order.
