1 Opening in Double Season Progressive-filled !! Topic

It appears that we have one opening in the second season (1970/71 and 1971/72) of the double season  progressive which started with the 1968/69 & 1969/70 seasons. This is the era of Wilt, Baylor, Robertson, Dave Bing, Earl Monroe etc. We will progress 2 seasons at a time. There will be adequate players available

The team available is the New York Knicks. The preliminary keeper list for the Knicks is posted below. The 1970/71 and 1971/72 draft is about to start.  If a replacement owner is found quickly, the replacement owner may participate in the draft. If not, I will draft for the team until a replacement owner is found. If the replacement owner is found before the team is entered for season 2 , you may enter the team and will be able to select which season to use for those players who were active both seasons.  If a replacement is not found by the time all other teams are entered, I will enter the team as a second team and continue to search for a replacement owner.

The Knicks had a record of 32-50 in the first season and will be drafting 7th. 1970/71 rookies include Artis Gilmore, Julius Erving, Dan Issel, Bob Lanier, Dave Cowens, Sam Lacey, Billy Paultz, George McGinnis, Nate Archibald and Pete Maravich, among others, so the Knicks will get one of those players.

This league is a replacement for the similar ABA/NBA progressive which started with the 1967/68 and 1968/69 seasons and completed a 24 season run, concluding with 2013/14 and 2014/15.

18 of the 20  owners (4 owners had 2 teams) from the predecessor league elected to return and we added 6 new owners. The owner of the Knicks has not posted keepers (although he has opened several site mails, he hasn't responded) so I must assume he has decided not to continue in the league, although he gave no notice.

I will give interested owners immediate access to the league private forum, which contains the league rules, a 1970/71 and 1971/72 draft thread (including the draft schedule and an available player list) and a thread with 1970/71 and 1971/72 keepers by team.
