I have nothing to hide here this team is built for fun and run so here's my starting squad--Kevin Johnson, Chris Mullin, Larry Legend, Chuckster and SWEN NATER! Get out and run boys

And as far as Moses, Chuckster etc etc....no worries.  This league is gonna have ALOT of diff faces from the norm, there are so many solid options from the 80s it's ridiculus

Interested, but I hope not to see Rodman, Chuck and Moses on every team.  Let's face it, that's unbeatable.  I'd love to use some Bucks for example, but I don't enjoy losing.   Call me "Mr. Blacklist"....

as said already, the dominant Rodman seasons were all in the 90s.  Moses's best season won't qualify for this (and frankly, most of his other seasons have weaknesses, though there are a couple of really good ones still).  Barkley isn't 100% at SF anymore, so he's not as dominant a pick as he used to be, but yeah, he'll still be a dominant guy.

Re: Rodman-true enough.  
Moses-may have "weaknesses" but compared to whom?  22%creb Mchale?
Barkley-everyone who claims he is not as dominant is still using him!  LOL.  He is still the most dominant guy in the SIM, at any position.

	Usage%	FG%+	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Stl%	Blk%
Advanced	26.7	123	60.4	13.5	20.0	9.9	1.4	1.8

did I mention the 951 fta's?
seriously...

Moses's weaknesses come in his efg%.  The difference between 78-79 Moses and his next best rebounding season is laughable (in the other areas that matter).  The difference between 78-79 Moses and his next best offensive season (efg%/paint%/fta) is not as far off in boards... but compared to everyone else?  It's a matter of taste.  As I said, there are a couple of really good ones available for this league.

Barkley is not as dominant a pick as before.  I'm sorry if you can't see the truth in that statement.  That isn't to say he isn't going to still be a dominant force in this sim.  The engine didn't change; just the salary structure/position effectiveness.  So the ridiculously cheap 87-88 Barkley (was probably the third most cost-effective player in the previous incarnation of the sim - 78-79 Moses & 96-97 Rice being the other two) from before is actually priced about right now.  He's no longer the best high usage SF in the sim (not even 100% at SF... though I'd consider using him anyway at 99%).  He's now just arguably the best high usage PF in the sim (78-79 Moses & 89-90 Mailman are in the conversation, as well as several Dwight Howard seasons.)  And of course I'm still going to use him:  He's my favorite player of any sport all-time.  And others will use him, too, because he's worth every bit of the $10M you spend on him.

ps - I beat moses-chuck-rodman plenty in the previous version of the sim.  Moses + Chuck (with Rodman in picture) was a horrible waste of efficiency.  Well, not horrible... but there were better routes to go, and the better routes bent that threesome over the table.  Of course, those routes involved Sir Charles...

Heck you know me Ash, just gotta give you a little s*** now and again-

Thing is, being limited to the 80's, I can't see anyone touching Chuck (and maybe Bird) due mostly to lack of 3's available.  The usage + eFG just aren't there in other players.  MAYBE his lack of D can be a weakness, but he does everything else so damn well I can't see him not being in the finals.

So....gentlemen, lace up your Chucks.

As commish of the league I get to peak at the rosters.

10 teams entered so far, and only 2 Chucks.   Also 7 diff starting PG.

Believe me there is a TON of diff players being used so far, I think alot of people are abandoning %s and playing guys that they love and always wanted to use and couldn't in other leagues.  Alvin Robertson anyone?? Larry Nance?? How bout some Danny AInge running the floor at SG

Bird still has the same weakness he had before (I looked long and hard at pairing Bird & Barkley).  He's still going to be great, but I hate having my highest usage guy with only 400-some odd FTAs in a fast-paced era.  He'd make a better pair with the Mailman, but then you're short on offensive boards.

An alternative to Chuck would be to grab monster boards at the 4 & 5 (you can do better than him on boards, even just using the 80s - his defensive boards are kind of low for a 4) and get your usage in the backcourt.  I suspect we'll see several teams built like this.

13 teams in 9 diff starting PG and of the 13 only 4 have Barkley.    I'm telling you there's gonna be alot of players in this league that you would never dream of using in a reg OL.

only 9 spots left

I'll be in by the night time
