Creative drafting - players have opportunity costs Topic

League ID NBA51666

All players available, but some on the banned list come with opportunity costs.

This banned players list is taken from hoosiermania's popular Banned players league. The players are listed below. Now in this league, these players aren't banned, necessarily, but there is a cost associated with building your team around them.

You have 10 dollars/points to spend. This is how much they cost:

10 points
Jordan, Michael
James, Lebron
Chamberlin, Wilt


8 points
Paul, Chris
Rodman, Dennis
Jabbar, Kareem Abdul
O’Neal, Shaquille



6 points
Curry, Stephen
Wade, Dwayne
Durant, Kevin
Bird, Larry
Malone, Karl
Robinson, David



4 points
Johnson, Magic
Kidd, Jason
Payton, Gary
Robertson, Oscar
Stockton. John
Bryant, Kobe
Erving, Juluis
Pippen, Scottie
Barkley, Charles
Brand, Elton
Duncan, Tim
Garnett, Kevin
Jordan, DeAndre
Gilmore, Artis
Howard, Dwight
Malone, Moses
Olaujwon. Hakeem


2 points
Archibald. Nate
Billups, Chauncey
Hardaway, Anfernee
Frazier, Walt
Rondo, Rajon
West, Jerry
Williams, Deron
Allen, Ray
Drexler, Clyde
Ginobli, Manu
Harden, James
Hill, Grant
McGrady, Tracey
Camby, Marcus
Anthony Davis
Drummond, Andre
Ibaka, Serge
Kemp, Shawn
Marion, Shawn
McHale, Kevin
Ewing, Patrick
Lanier, Bob
McAdoo, Bob
Mutombo, Dikembe
Reed, Willis
Russell, Bill
Stoudamire, Amare
Wallace, Ben
Walton, Bill
Whiteside, Hasan


all other players in the database are 0 points. So basically, you can use LeBron or MJ if you want, but wouldn't you rather have Duncan, Garnett and the Glove? Or even Penny--Ray Allen-McGrady-Kemp-Mutombo?



53M cap. clones and WW allowed but of course, have to adhere to rules. You can have two tim Duncan clones (4 points x 2 = 8 points)....but not too Chris Pauls (16 points).

Also, the continuity of this league would be great as prices would evolve as players are used/unused.

I like the idea, but the groups don't make much sense to me.

There will likely be some disagreement with the costs. But the beauty of it is that they will evolve each season as more people use them or dont use them.
