Season 12 of a very fun and competitive league. Rules are simple:

1. Pick a Franchise, 1 franchise per owner
2. All players on your team must be from a season they played for your franchise (no twisting)
3. $48M cap
4. No clones, rookies or WW
5. Team name and Arena should be accurate (but mash-ups like Seattle Thunder are OK)
6. Yes you can use players from all historical versions of your franchise (e.g. NY Nets, NJ Nets etc)
7. To Make things simpler, the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans will be treated as 1 franchise.
8. ABA Franchises that never made it to the NBA (bold below) can be combined into a single team.

I'll go with the ABA refugees.

i'll try for the pistons

Are you going to have a draft, or do we just pick a franchise?

I'm in for at least one, we usually do a draft. FYI - I'm bringing it this time. Pathetic performance by me missing the playoffs with Detroit and a 1st round exit with Philly.

I'll probably be in for 2 but put me down for 1 for now
