Season 27 of a very fun and competitive Franchise league. Rules are simple:

1. Pick a Franchise - owners can have more than one franchise
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. The Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats 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:

In the interest of fairness, we will give everyone a couple of days to sign up and then hold a draft starting on Saturday, July 3, 2021. Draft order will be random, anyone signing up before the draft starts has a shot at the #1 pick. Anyone who signs up after that day will choose from the remaining undrafted franchises.

Good luck... Let's go Old Skool!
