The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized


NBA free agency starts on the 1st of July kinda and the on the 5th July properly. In the interim let's all play a game where we guess where some players will sign because that will be fun.

ENTRIES CLOSED

SPREADSHEET OF RESPONSES HERE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvFPO96F7FEmp9tTT9l5fHa503SoYI3SrowAYedRwFw/edit?usp=sharing

1 point for correctly guessing a player resigns with their current team
2 points for correctly guessing a player signing for a new team
5 points for a correct wildcard pick - a player not listed who signs for a new team

:siren:SPECIAL DERRICK ROSE TRIPLE POINTS BONUS:siren:
You get 3 points if you correctly predict former MVP Derrick Rose resigning with the Knicks (lol) or 6 points if you correctly guess the new team he signs with.

Last year's winner was xbilkis with 17. None of us were very good. No-one out of 42 entries predicted Durant signing with the Warriors.

Entries will close on Friday 30th June. Last year the people who waited latest mostly did better because of leaks and Wojbombs, but it's more fun to make your guesses early and laugh at them more in retrospect.

Good luck and Godspeed.

Nine responses so far, keep 'em coming.

Some people seem to be misunderstanding the wild card category (probably wasn't very clear on the form). You need to pick a player who isn't listed, and then predict which new team (not the team they are currently on) they will sign for. Some people have just named a player without listing a team, others have picked a player to resign with their current team. Also someone chose a player who isn't even a free agent, but hey they may get cut so I'll let that one go I guess.

aBagorn, Lockback, BWV and Quizzlefisg - you can either PM me your new wildcard guess according the above clearer guidelines, or just post it here in the thread if you want.

The draft is over, so now everyone can come in here and take part.

Bonus being anyone now will probably do much better than all us chumps who submitted entries pre-draft.

24 entries so far, will close this friday evening before all the leaks start coming though, probably around 9 or 10 EST.

One person correctly picked Chris Paul to the Rockets before the trade news broke, so congrats to them.

Just slightly over half of our players have confirmed signed, current leaderboard:

Halfling Wizard Bear leads having been one of two to guess Gallinari to the Clippers and the only player to correctly guess George Hill to the Kings.

No-one picked Rudy Gay to the Spurs.

Yeah it is on there, just a hidden column.

I've voided all Chris Paul guesses that were made after the trade was already announced. Halfling Wizard Bear actually did predict CP3 to the Rockets before the trade broke though. Maybe he is Woj?
