Hello guys. The season is over and I thought we could have a NBA Legends Draft, like we've had on this forum over the last four years, though didn't have last year.

What it is is a Redistribution of NBA Legends Draft, where we all get randomly ordered and then draft players from the alltime players pool. Aim is to get the best players you can, making a complete team.

After we've finished the Legends Draft we'll all give our evaluations on each team.

I'll give the links to the previous NBA Legends Drafts so anyone interested can have a look:

NBA Legends 2nd Edition - http://www.goldenstwarriors.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5282&hilit=nba+legends+draft



Be good to have at least 6-8 people in this, the more the better. Say so here if you want to participate.

I'm down

Yeah, I'll try to not be autopicked every round like the NBA fantasy league...

im in it to win it

this is my first year, so i might suck

I don't know what I am doing, but I'll give it a shot.

Awesome, that's five, including me.

There will be no autopicking JReed, but we do have to have commitment from all participants that they'll be here every day and check to see how far it is from their turn. This draft shouldn't take more than three weeks.


We need at least one more person, be good to have 8 of us at least

im gonna pull myself from this... i just looked at 50 greatest player's in nba history and i was probably able to watch HALF of them play... MAX... and that's not being able to watch them extensively... only getting glimpses here and there... i'll be following the thread though...

Most of us who were in this in previous years hadn't see many of the alltime greats play, but we went on stats and what others alltime have said about those players. You can still play regardless

Im in

Alright, that's 6 with 8th ave still in it, which hopefully he does stay.

Come on, more people needed

If we don't get more people by Monday Oakland time, we'll just go ahead and start this by doing a random order, done previously at random.org.

8th ave, please confirm that you'll be in this still.

Anyone else wants in, please do so and say so in this thread

looks like you guys need me so im in

8th ave wrote:looks like you guys need me so im in

Good to hear

Alright, the guys in this have to commit to being here twice a day to check this thread and keep this going properly.

Let's get started in 24 hours. All agree?
