How do we decide who gets the Blazers? Coors light drinking contest? Cool idea though. If you wanted to do it legit I think you would want to start up a fantasy league and draft the teams accordingly.
Bones, good idea. In the very old days (90s) we used to have a volunteer (for each team) act as a GM before draft day. They would make a 5 or 6 paragraph scouting report on their team, and present it at the draft. Each GM had a couple of hours to publish their scouting report and draft their chosen player. It was fun, we did it about a week before the actual draft. You assumed for purposes of the draft that no trades were made, but GMs did talk about possible trades in their scouting report.
