Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

[hoopsjock]

Hey everyone,
@BonesJones and I were wondering if there is any interest in doing a mock off season for fun. This can be a really enjoyable experience but it does help if people are active in it. Here's how it would work:

Everyone playing would be assigned a team (or two if we only have 15 teams) and you'd be the GM of your team with complete control over any transactions. We'd then set a date for our fake NBA Draft. Before and during the draft you would be allowed to make as many trades as you want as long as they work under the CBA. You take on your team's exact roster, draft picks, etc. If it goes well we could even find a way to do a fake free agency.

As long as you are active and participate in it this type of thing is a lot of fun. It doesn't really matter how well you do as long as you are trying and don't just vanish so we have dormant teams. At the end we can compare rosters and see how everyone did and even revisit it at different points of the season or run 2K simulations to see what teams would win.

If you want to try it all you have to do is respond and put your top 3 choices in teams and I will decide who gets what team. @Gronk Brady or @LayneStaley I'll even give one of you two a shot at being the Blazers if you want them. Go ahead and tag other people if you think they'd enjoy it. Do we have enough wannabe GM's out there?

@TBpup I wanted to include you too if you want to play since you had discussed it with Bones.

Could be fun. I'm willing to take teams nobody cares about like the Hornets or the Nets.

Awesome, you seem to understand the cap so you should be great at this.

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm taking the Hawks as my team.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Celtics, Jazz, Suns

 

[Strenuus]

Were you just making a joke or do you want to play?

 

[BonesJones]

Suns, Grizzlies, Bulls.

How are we planning to assign teams?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Sounds like fun,. Wish I had the time. Ill keep an eye out on you guys though!

 

[hoopsjock]

Suns, Grizzlies, Blazers, Spurs, 76ers! Haha.

How are we planning to assign teams?

I will give everyone their 1st choice (first come first serve) and then we'll discuss 2nd teams later if needed.

 

[BonesJones]

How about this:

Everyone who wants to be is in the drawing for Portland.

Then everyone else lists 3 teams. Include everyone who wants a team in a drawing and draw foe that one. Start with the teams most sought after and work your way down.

 

[BonesJones]

Could potentially turn this into an interesting video using my mock draft graphics.

 

[Mediocre Man]

This has a chance to go so wrong. I'm in

I want Philly, Lakers or Houston so I can sign Lebron and win this game

I'm fine with that for the Blazers, I don't care about the other teams.

 

[Strenuus]

I was just joking. I know myself well enough to know id lose focus pretty quick.

Beware! If you let him have the Blazers he'll let Nurkic just walk.

Well that would be bad for him and good for whoever lands Nurk.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Cause we've dominated the playoffs with him?

He's played 5 playoff games. Not exactly a huge sample but your opinion is yours to have.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

@hoopsjock If I’m not too late I’ll take anyone but the Lakers, well unless the goal is to make them as bad as possible(?). I travel quite a bit for work, but I am always free in the evenings to call in or post or be active wherever. I live west of Portland in Cornelius, anyways.

I say we give Portland to the oldest participant.

 

[riverman]

Keep the eye in or you'll look like barfo

We aren't even close to filling up yet. Pick a team!

BTW, I didn't know you lived in Cornelius.

My top 3 choices (Excluding the obvious one of Portland), Phoenix, Atlanta, Miami. Looking at the trade Machine they all have some interesting things going on.

Yup got married moved over here like 6-7 years ago.

 

[hoopsjock]

In the first post of this thread I started assigning people teams just to see how many we have. If you want to change teams just let me know. Also let me know if you want to be in the running for Portland.

Please tag anyone that you think would like this.

Suns and Hawks are taken but I'll give you the Heat first and put you in the Blazers running.

Sounds good.

0-5

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

0-5

Last year game 3 when he played they were good when he played bad when he didn't. This year, I got no argument though.

 

[PDXFonz]

Omg please yes, I would love to do this. Fantastic idea you glorious mother sons of guns.

Clippers
Suns
Bulls

No order of preference. Give me one of those 3 and I’m happy.

Okay pref not the Bulls though... I’ll take PHX or LAC. Do it, do it!
