Hornets Report Redraft 2013

In this ReDraft all players listed on NBA rosters for the 2012-2013 will be available to be Redrafted.

The Draft
The draft will be a snake draft (with a quirk to be explained) with 24 teams. The draft order will be random.
If the first pick in round 1 is cleveland and the last pick is New Orleans, New Orleans will have the 1st pick in round 2 and Cleveland will have the last pick just like a traditional snake draft. However in order to conserve balance in round 3 New Orleans would draft first and Cleveland would draft last, Cleveland would draft first in round 4 and New Orleans last. With Cleveland first in round 5 and last in round 6. In other words it would look like this

#1 Cleveland 1 round 1
#24 New Orleans 24 round 1
#25 New Orleans 1 round 2
#48 Cleveland 24 round 2
#49 New Orleans 1 round 3
#72 Cleveland 24 round 3
#73 Cleveland 1 round 4
#96 New Orleans 24 round 4
#97 Cleveland 1 round 5
...

If we decide that this format is too complicated I'll make it a regular snake I just thought this would keep teams from complaining about not getting a superstar in a superstar driven league.

Trades
Trades will be allowed but all trades will be reviewed by the commissioner and be subject to a veto if deemed overly lopsided. There will be a trade block thread where you can announce moves you are looking to make. All finalized trades will be posted in a finalized trades thread.

Playoffs
The playoffs will contain all 24 teams randomly matched up and the winner will be determined in a fan vote. It will be single elimination with seeding determined each round by margin of victory. When the field reaches 3 teams the team with the largest margin of victory will get a bye to the championship game.

Additional Notes:
No Keepers (due to questionable anual turnover)
There may be a rookie draft (random order, separate from the redraft)

post it up in the nest too

I'll take OKC

I'll take the Pacers.

Bucks

I'm thinking about just going forward with 16, would y'all want that. All the teams would be championship caliber most likely.

You could ask guys from last year like Mr. West, and post a thread in the hornets nest

Agreed

I'll try it out if y'all still need people..

Warriors

Spurs here, if there's room.

There's plenty of room the max teams would be 30. We're at 18 right now. We don't need 30, but the more the better I think.
Bleacher Report did a redraft (no trades though) check it out if you're curious

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-round-results

I'm in, sorry for being late. I'll get the Dallas Mavericks, if they aren't taken yet.

When will the draft be?

The draft will start when we get all the teams. My target day is friday. I'm hoping to get the teams today the order tomorrow, the roster and trades threads thursday and then start friday

I'll take Denver.

I'll take the hawks if they're available.

Rockets

Why is this draft not random? It would give everyone a fair chance? WHY CANT IT BE MY WAY?

/epic rant

78 I think you should team up with kaitos again

I understand that it would be complex but this would be a great sim league idea. Never been in one but I read the other forums every so often.
