New Idea: Fathers and Sons Theme Topic

All the talk of LeBron actually trying to play with Bronny gave me this idea.

The rules are simple: You must select 6 fathers and pair them with their 6 sons.

Both the father and son must have a usable WhatIf Season to select. For example David Stockton played with the Jazz briefly during one season, but did not register 200 minutes. This means that although he and his father John both played in the NBA they cannot be used since David has no WhatIf season to select.

No clones. No waiver wire. No Rookies

No draft - all teams are free to build independently

CAP: $52 million

So does Jordan and Jimmy Butler count as father-son?

Not without confirmation from Maury Povich

I’m in.
However I have a feeling there won’t be a lot of disparity between the rosters. perhaps for the next variation of this league, limiting the cap to 47 will force us to be more creative with the duos.

maybe add cousins and/or siblings to broaden the field?

I want to see if this gets any traction as is. If not, I’ll consider a family theme.

I do believe that it is likely that LeBron's father is Dominque Wilkins. I have some rationale for this if anyone is interested.

Yes it is tin foil hat, but I feel my leaps are quite logical. lol

I'm in...especially if it is the family version, but I will do the father/son as well.

I am in if we can get enough. It will not be easy to put together a team but the idea is certainly novel. If only we knew where all of Wilt's kids might be....
