We have one opening in the 16th season (1998/99 and 1999/00) of a double season progressive which started with the 1968/69 & 1969/70 seasons. We progress 2 seasons at a time. Each season owners are able to select which of the 2 seasons they will use for each of their players, if the player was WIS eligible in both seasons. There will be adequate players available.

The team available is the Minnesota Timberwolves (name can be changed and city moves can be made to an unoccupied city which fits geographically in the Midwest Division). We will be ready to begin the draft on about April 10.

With 15 games left in the 1996/97 and 1997/98 season the Timberwolves have a record of 32-33, 5th in the Midwest Division and will probably be drafting around 8th to 10th in the 24 team league.

Since we progress 2 seasons at a time, player turnover in the league is rapid. Rookies for the 1998/99 and 1999/00 season include Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Shawn Marion, Elton Brand, Jason Terry, Antawn Jamison, Andre Miller and Lamar Odom.

Minnesota has their own 1st round pick, has traded their 2nd round pick but has their own and Washington's 3rd round picks.



The current owner has posted a suggested keeper list for the Timberwolves (subject to change by a new owner), which I have posted in the immediately following post.

This is a stable league with relatively low turnover. There are approximately 10 seasons left in the life of this league, This is the first opening in the last 3 seasons !

OK, they are yours !! I will site mail you tomorrow.

The Timberwolves were taken but a 2nd team has become available as we are starting the draft. The team is the Chicago Bulls and the keeper list posted by the prior owner is in the immediately following post.

Chicago Bulls

Keepers:
Steve Kerr
Dee Brown- Via Trade
Chris Whitney
Dale Ellis
Dennis Scott
AC Green

Cut:
Darvin Ham
Mark Strickland
Mario Bennett
Loy Vaught

Traded:
John Stockton
Karl Malone
Arvydas Sabonis

Need 6 picks:
LAs 1st and 2nd
Chicagos 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th

The Bulls are definitely a rebuilding project as the 6 keepers had only 10,251 minutes for the upcoming 1998/99 and 1999/00 season with 19,000 minutes as the league required minimum.

I will draft for the team until and unless a new owner is found. I have made the first round pick for the Bulls (the #6 pick overall) Vince Carter SF who will add 3,126 minutes and scoring ability.

If no new owner is found for the team by the time the draft concludes on April 18, I will enter the team for at least the 1998-00 season. I anticipate the team having a very high draft pick for the 2000-02 season as there is only a high 2nd round pick and low picks in rounds 3-6 to join Carter.

I will give interested owners immediate access to the league private forum. If interested, please post below or site mail with any questions to dspahlinger.
