Progressive Franchise Twist

'76-'77, '77-'78, '78-'79 versus '85-'86, '86-'87, '87-'88

#34246

Gentlemen, the Progressive Franchise Twist league is a league where you select any franchise any "twist" any of the players to any season of their career (regardless of the team they played for) that appeared on your chosen franchises roster for the timeframe we are playing. I chose to start this league off with the season of '76-'77(+ '77-'78, '78-'79) as it was the first season after the ABA-NBA merger. One conference will be ANY TWELVE TEAMS from '76/'77-'78/'79, the other conference will be ANY TWELVE TEAMS from '85/'86-'87/'88. Now we will only play this idea if the owners prefer this one over the original league ('88/'89-'90-'91). This league however gives many more options. Plus we get to try out older teams that the original theme league idea wouldn't lend us b/c the NBA was smaller. Next season will be '79-'80, '80-'81, '81-'82 versus '88-'89, '89-'90, '90-'91 and so on.

Rules:

*37 million dollar salary cap. Makes all franchises viable, plus-wise if you want to splurge on a huge Jordan year, good luck with the rest of your roster. Gotta draft a balanced roster in essence.

*Waiver wire is in use.Could be handy if at some point you realize you made a gaffe during the season during drafting. Only players applicable via drafting for your team available to you.

*No rookies, or clones.Draft a bench gentlemen.

*Here is the essential tool you will need:http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/

*Please keep team name accurate. Also please use the arena your franchise CURRENTLY uses. EX:Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, etc. Also name your team the team name of THE CURRENT franchise. EX:Oklahoma City Thunder, Washington Wizards. Sorry to be a stickler, this was just part of my vision for this league.

I am going to ticket admin to see if we can have some sort of GC awarded to the returning(every new owner is automatically eligible and everyone is eligible in the 1st season) owner with the same franchise with the best win-% improvement by their team over each 3 season stretch we play. Gives owners of teams without big name stars another reason to try out a franchise and/or stick with their franchise each season given the peaks and valleys of every franchise (I created this same theme for baseball and admin did indeed agree to award a $10 GC each season, so I think they'll play ball).

A couple things..

This league is just an idea. I think this theme is better than the other version. It offers more teams to choose from and I like being able to twist the older teams as well.

If you click the team names they will bring you to the team rosters for the season options, making perusing teams much easier.

All the properties from the previous version will be in affect here including the $10 GC prize if admin is willing.

Again, it is one or the other here. If you guys prefer the other league we can go with that one!

I like the concept of this... it's kind of EOL meets a progressive league. I'm pretty sure I won't be joining, but I really like the idea.

already drafted my team and placed it in the league so you're asking me to scrap it and pick another team and redraft
