"YOU are Pat Riley" league--DEAD! Topic

You are Pat Riley, and you just signed LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to free agent deals.  Problem is you have no one else on your roster 

You will start with $42 million dollars cap room

Each owner must draft the 09-10 year of  of James, Wade and Bosh.   Then, you must draft the rest of your team using only 09-10 players.  (They can be any player, not just free agents this year)  This will leave you only just under $17 million to fill out your roster.  (I tried $37 mill, but minutes were just far too tight to make it interesting.  At least with $42 mill, we will have much more roster variations.

Whoever does it best and wins this league gets an interview to be Pat Rileys special assistant in South Beach lol.  All team names must in some way reference LeBron and the free agent sweepstakes of 2010.

Interesting concept.

I'm currently tied up to 2 theme leagues that aren't going yet so I don't really want to commit to a 3rd. If one of them happens to fall out I'll definitely give this one a go.

Curious to see if this one will a go.

IRL I don't forsee all of the championships (that Lebron does) for this trio unless Lebron goes into full time Scottie Pippen mode especially on defense and in the rebounding department.  How many more full seasons can Wade stay healthy? Where is the Dennis Rodman type? 

Anyway a very interesting concept for the SIM and fun idea worthy of thinking about doing.

I'd love to have you Vancem.

Honestly, I figured with all the hype about this, I would have a dozen people saying they want in this league by now.  Color me surprised.

You should change it to 08-09 and have everyone use that season's version of each player (Wade, Bosh, James)

There is no telling when, or even if, the 09-10 players will be released.

i'm in for either 08-09 or 09-10. sounds like fun. tried out the $37 mil cap with 08-09 and minutes will be extremely tight!

With the new release, I'd like to bump this up to active again.  Lets go with the 09-10 versions of the three Heat guys and go from there.  Signup guys....who can fill out the rest of the Heat the best with $37 mill???
