You need to talk to Wes.
UPDATED: 2021 All-Time NBA Draft
- Thread starter Keefe
- Start date
I am but one voice here, but again, the point of the rule is to force people to draft outside of their era preference. It would create a way to circumvent the entire philosophy as it would be very easy to find someone to make a trade with.
I like the challenge of figuring out the puzzle with players of a type that don’t jive with my philosophy if forced to. If not, I would likely just not draft anyone pre-80’s and I would be racing to trade out of that requirement because it’s almost a different sport than today.
But as messy as democracy is, let’s let it decide from here. Consent of the governed and all of that. Or pres wes can make the call.
The only way this makes sense logically is one of two ways.
You draft your first five picks and you can swap them out for players in the same era but you always have to start one from each era.
You draft your first five picks and you can trade them for any era after that plus start any players from any era.
A mix in between those makes no logical sense.
You can entirely avoid that anyways by drafting one total player from pre-1979 and sitting them on your bench.

I’m fine with it either way. We either have to start one player from each era or we don’t and can cross era trade.
But then you’re sacrificing a top-5 pick. There’s a cost to that strategy. But if we had to start them, the contest would be over for anyone that didn’t draft one of the first ~6 ancients.

I don’t agree with that at all. You give and take depending on who you drafted and where you drafted them.
8 of the first 30 picks were drafted 1979-back.

It may be a few minutes, I’m considering a trade. I have a pick ready though.
Deepening that pool was kind of the idea too, there. Gutsy, great pick though.

@NUMBERICA is on the clock in case someone was lost
"Broadway" Joe Dumars (‘92-‘93)
Career Highlights: 2x Champion, '89 Finals MVP, 3x All-NBA, 5x All-Defense, 6x All-Star
'92-'93 Season:
-23.5 PPG, 4 APG, 1SPG
-38% from 3 on 4 attempts per game (decent volume now, great volume at the time)
-All-Defensive 1st Team, All-NBA 2nd team, All-Star
The spear-point of the bad-boys Pistons defense (including their famous full-court press), Dumars was a fantastic point-of-attack defender and was an ahead-of-his time shooter. He can and did play both guard spots as he was a good passer with good agility. His strengths allow him to scale as needed and be effective while relatively low-usage. His versatility (and Harden being able to run the show) allows him to even be a situational starter if need be.
