The "War Room" - Poster Mock

The "War Room" - Poster Mock

<u>All Fans:</u>

Justbball.com will be putting together 2 mocks drafts as part of an ON-SITE contest, shortly after the NBA lottery Draft on May 26th.

One mock will be done by the <font color="DarkRed">moderators/admins </font> and the other will be by the <font color="DarkRed">posters of JBB</font>. It's going to be a little contest to see who can get a more accurate mock for draft day. Please remember, <u>It's all for fun.</u>

As you can see, a few posters have been asked to help with pulling together the posters mock draft. <font color="DarkRed"><u>We need your help </u> </font> and input to do this, so now we're coming to you!

<font color="Navy"><u>Here's what we need (i.e.- the RULES):</u></font>

1. Posters interested in having thier draft thoughts considered should submit, up to 5 names of players that you think your team will want to draft on draft day. Remember that these need to be realistic, not pipe dreams. Up to 5 players that you believe your team is scouting and may take in the drafts first round.

2. For those who are really into mocks, you may submit to us via PM <font color="DarkRed">(please)</font> your entire first round mock. <u>It must be complete however</u>. We realize that this is going to be more difficult, given that the lottery places are yet to be filled. However, we'll accept submissions up to midnight, May 28th EST. <font color="DarkRed"><font size="1">(After that, anything recieved will have to wait to be included in any updates we make after releasing the mock)</font></font>

3. If you are going to propose a trade with any of your draft picks (Maximum limit = 1 draft related trade proposal), JUSTIFICATION must be provided. It must be reasonable and work under the CBA. Any trades proposed without this information <u>WILL BE DISCARDED</u> without further thought.


This announcement will be posted and stickied in all team forums as well, so please try to participate if you have ideas. We want the posters mock to be a quality one that can stand side by side with the mods mock.

Thanks and we look forward to your comments.

<font size="1"><font color="DarkRed">Those with full mocks, can submit them up to May 27th VIA PM, to og15, wtwalker17 or hagrid.</font></font>

 

Was this really necessary in every team forum?

 

Yes, because we are trying to maximize participation, as this is meant to be a mock draft representing the thoughts of as much of the poster base as possible.

Not everyone visits every forum, so just putting it in the NBA or Draft forums would have been a disservice to many posters, who might miss the announcement otherwise.

The mods/admins agreed that it was best to do it this way and it was posted with thier consent.

 

So, we can post our 5 players we want our team to draft in the appropriate team forum, or here, or what?

That choice is up to you. If you put your choices in one of the general forums (draft or NBA) please just make sure to label what team they are for.

Thanks!

 

It's at your discretion where you post your thoughts.

I just hope people post something soon. I'm hoping the lottery drawing will spark some responses.


There's 3 or 4 guys helping to do this, so what I believe we're going to do is just split up the forums and collect all the data. We'll then get together in a chat room or private forum here and put it all together.

 

I'll contact you via PM when we're ready to pull everything together. It won't be for a few days though.

 

I don't know how much time you guys are looking at this to take, but if you want it to take a couple of weeks, then you could post a poll in each team forum when it's there turn to pick(with the best avaliable options) and let the poll run for a couple of hours/a day(whatever time frame you want) and allow every poster to vote in the poll, so that everyone's voice is heard. That way it would be easier to gauge at who will be avaliable at each teams pick. I did it for 12 hours, but my site isn't as active as yours. Say if the Magic got the #1 pick tonight and you wanted to do this, then post a poll for a certain amount of time, with the best 5 options for the Magic and let everyone have a say in who they should pick, then whoever the Magic choose, you move on, say the Wizards have the #2 pick, then you do the best 5 options for them(excluding the Magic's pick) and have a little draft.

Another idea is letting the best members from each team to take a team and try to work out possible deals like they were the GM of the team, just like it was draft day. You give each team a certain amount of time (to be on the clock) and in that time others can work out potential draft day trades to improve your team. Then everyone can vote on who made the best strides for their team and vote on how well their GM did.

I know I probably didn't explain that too good, if you want me to try to explain it better, then PM me and I will try to answer any questions.

I did that on my football message boards and it worked out pretty good. (check JBB affiliates for a link to my site)
