DDL#16--The 80's!

"Players that were great in their day..are great again in the DDL"

The DDL (Decade Draft League) explores the history of Pro-Basketball one unique era at a time. This season, amerk1180 & the 'WayBack Machine' will travel back to the 80's, when it seemed to be the Lakers vs Celtics every year until the Pistons interrupted the proceedings. It was the decade of parachute pants, tight Jordache jeans, and big hair.

In this league, we will do picks every HALF hour, instead of one an hour. I hate these drafts lasting two-three weeks! Also, at the end of a day's round, picks CAN continue in OFF THE CLOCK mode into the next days round. As long as the guy in front of you picks, you can too. For this draft, no Wilt years over $12,500,000 are useable.

So you think you know how to draft...we'll see.
