whats the cap going to be? Could you make it any team with 15 wins or less to make sure there are no duplicates?

Only full season teams are used to ensure enough minutes. Bobcats only played 66 games. And I think there would still be duplicates, but, yes, it is possible to use 15 wins and less if that is more popular. The cap is going to be $42 million. Most of these teams' payroll is $31-33 million. If you take away two average players it gives you about $15-17 million to use.

The minutes are prorated when the season was less than 82 games.

Then the Bobcats are in. Thank you ncmusician.

I was thinking we could just have a draft or do first come first serve to avoid duplicates.

Yes, I think a draft would be a good option. Maybe for all three: the teams and the players. What do people think?
