Since the current NBA season is still going on and the draft class isn't even official yet, we'll push the annual GM Scratch Draft back until June/July.
In the meantime, these have been fun in the past. For those unfamiliar, here's how it works:
We draft from a pool of every NBA player, past and current, to build the team that would win a best of 7 playoff style format against the other drafted teams.
The draft would likely be 12 teams (we can do more or less depending on interest), with a randomized draft order, snake style. 10 rounds. Owners have a maximum of 12 hours per pick. When that time expires, the next person is automatically on the clock. If you time out twice, you're removed from the draft and your team is given to an alternate.
Last time, we named a specific year for that player, but I think it was cumbersome and unnecessary. This time, we'll be drafting the totality of a player's career. The way that person is generally recognized and remembered, so one guy who averaged 50 per game for one season and never got off the bench again isn't someone you want to take.
There are no position requirements or limitations. No coaches will be drafted.
When we finish drafting, we'll randomize the matchups and let voters choose which teams advance until a champion is crowned. if someone wants to run a 2k simulation for these playoff series, that would be cool too.
If you're interested, please reply in a way that makes it clear so that there is no confusion.
