sorry I'm going to have to withdraw from being your Cleveland GM, my schedule for the next few weeks has changed and I can't guarantee I'll be able to get in bid lists regularly

All right, just a few housekeeping things:

  • I live in New York, so everything will be in EST. The game will officially begin tomorrow, Tuesday, July, 25 - sometime at night I will post the "Day 1 Roster" of about 20-30 players to bid on. You will either PM me, Discord me, or email me the list of players you would like to bid on (it can be 0 players, it can be 15, as long as you aren't going over your budget). All lists must be sent in by 6:30 PM EST on Wednesday, July 26th. This process will continue until all players are posted, and I will let you know if there are time changes.
  • I will be revealing the won bids around 7:15-7:30 PM EST. Starting a bit earlier this week but then may go back to the normal 8:00 PM time.
  • To make it easier on me, just list the guys you will be bidding on INSTEAD of including the others and putting $0.
  • If you're a new player, or even returning, check out the previous year's bidding to see how teams fared. Indiana didn't bid til later on and composed a team of Curry/Mitchell/Klay/MPJ/Zion/Turner.
  • That's about it! If you have any specific questions about anything, you can ask in thread of via PMS, have fun, don't be too much of a dick to other people but some banter and competition is encouraged!

I wanna look back at last year's rosters and see who some of my favorite teams/deals are now though.

On first glance BWV getting Markkanen for $11 is a huge steal, which was less than half of one Marko Simonovic ($25)

I am still super salty that Josh Hart was really bad for me.

DBD, if we aren't bidding, do you want us to PM you indicating no bids on a particular slate of dudes so you know not to wait for outstanding bids?

marko simonovic, gorgui dieng and javale mcgee (the spurs famous TRIPLE TOWERS) were integral to my success last year and i will never apologize or feel shame

also i set up a new unofficial google sheets thing for this year. small changes to colour/sizes to be less ugly/similar and barely more legible.

Love the choice to go orange and black/gray for the magic, I haven’t loved the execution on any of those jerseys but it’s a good idea and way more legible/distinct from other teams here

So here's another dump of last year's draft bumped up against 2022-23 stats if anyone wants to nerd around. This one includes an aborted attempt at projecting statistical performance over the season by lumping players into categories A thru F representing their minutes per game - 2 36mpg guys per team, 2 30mpg guys per team etc. There's more detail on the notes tab.

The link grants edit perms so knock yourself out, I have a separate copy I'm still playing with, but this is one of those projects where reach exceeds grasp :lol:. I'm not hip enough to the math behind weighted stats and don't have the time to invest in learning the basics, maybe one of y'all can make some lemonade though.

Remember folks, you don’t want to be gunshy in the opening rounds. You could find yourself with massive amounts of dollars on hand competing with a dozen other teams to get the last 2 star players. Last year some people overbid early but that is just serving us up for an enormous over correction that could leave you screwed. Use it or lose it!

It's true. You should spend as fast as possible because life is short and for all you know the sun could explode at any moment.


Thank you to everyone posting these sheets and of course DBD for arranging this. I've had fun looking back on my teams and happy that last year's aged better than I expected. Shame the so-called sim wronged me but I guess it bailed me out a few years back so I'll take it.

Tbh I don’t think warning people is really going to accomplish anything. We spent the first 3 days of the last thread laughing at overpays and saying we were spending ludicrously too fast and then days 4 and 5 blew the first 3 out of the water.

Someone’s going to sort bballref by win shares per 48 and spend 100 bucks on a backup center. It’s just going to happen

My favorite team was the salary cap team in 2019 where I locked in Booker/Capela to long-term deals and Siakam for like 3 seasons. Plus Huerter and rookie Dort for like 5 years at $5 (and Zhaire Smith for considerably more than that).

I also had Mikal Bridges and the sim had me winning every single game but then I traded Mikal for super cheap Rubio to free up cap space so I could re-sign Siakam in future seasons that never existed and then I started losing a bunch

My "Jimmy Butler + one other good player + unheralded scrubs" strategy from last year didn't go so great in the sim, but in real life it was good enough for second place so maybe I knew what I was doing after all.

ok it wasn't just that I was a complete moron who didn't heed warnings not to overspend early. I wanted to do a scientific experiment to see how a team of literally "jokic and g-leaguers" would do. The answer is about 50% regular season win

I need to remind myself not to look at the ratings of players (because aneurysms sound scary) and to also assume that the simulation is kinder than reality w/r/t injuries.

We’ve gone back and forth in the sim between low and no injuries I think, but people definitely take that into account in the voting. Like that indiana team obviously has major and value, but they also have no hope of ever seeing the floor together

I fixed your sheet for you



I don't remember a whole lot about my team's performance last year but I know that the sim was completely incapable of running the lineup that I wanted so it did really bad even though it did pretty good in voting.

Ant and Brunson as the backcourt for ~$500 is pretty cool though good job me.
