The 2nd Season of the CC.net NBA Sim League is a few days away from starting. This is a franchise NBA simulation that The Cat simulates on NBA Live 2001. This year will also include the new rules coming for next seasons real NBA. (Zones etc.) As it is a computer simulation we are moving along much faster than the real NBA, this is not based on box-scores from real games, its all simmed. Currently we have 20 GMs of 29 NBA teams, 10 in each conference, with GettinBranded taking the Bulls a few days ago. The Sim follows standard NBA procedure with 8 teams in each conference advancing to the playoffs. The teams not yet taken: (preseason record) Indiana Pacers (6-2) Charlotte Hornets (3-5) Los Angeles Clippers (2-5) Denver Nuggets (1-6) Atlanta Hawks (0-6) Phoenix Suns (0-6) Miami Heat (0-7) Golden State Warriors (0-7) Orlando Magic (0-8) The complete pre-season standings: http://users2.ev1.net/~chkemp/ccnet/standings.html How can a team like Heat be 0-7 you ask? Last year we held a 3 round draft among teams that were not taken, so these teams have lost their best players. We have also had a draft based on the records for the first season as every team in the league had to give back 2 starters to the draft. Why should I join? I would have no chance to compete. You probably would struggle the first season (unless you take Pacers who will not go away even if they lose their players). When you sign up to take a team you will get to improve your team right away with a couple of picks from the other untaken teams. (If we get many new sign-ups The Cat will do an expansion draft so all can pick a couple of new players to help their team). When the 2nd season ends you will get draft picks for next season based on your record when all give up two players to the draft. You will also get the same high rookie pick from the draft-class being introduced for the 3rd Sim season. This will be all the rookies from this years real NBA draft as we will hold a 1 round rookie draft around the time of the real draft. (As we move fast, we will have finished the 2nd season by then). It will be fun, and you will get something to do in the offseason. And you will get to prove that you can build your franchise into contention. You can check the Sim's homepage in my signature (its a project among the GMs and its not finished), and you can join by clicking the join link in my sig. Any question, ask them here and I will answer to the best of my ability. ------------------ Join the CC.net NBA Sim ------------------------- The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades [This message has been edited by Heath2000 (edited May 13, 2001).]

The fantasy forum isn't good enough for you guys? ------------------ "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."- (Aldous Huxley)
You will get to pick atleast 3 players that is available from other computer teams. (You probably will get to pick more based on how many players have been taken from your team)These players inlude the ones that have been released to the draft by the human GMs. I do think that GettinBranded has not picked yet, and with SamCassell also signing up I think Cat will decide a picking order for all teams that sign up today. If we get a few more he might even consider to create a expansion draft as we are 22 teams with the 2 new signing. But I guess that would take a few more signings. If you are around Cat can you list rosters for the teams picked? (Hawks & Pacers) Could perhaps be a good idea to list the rosters for the other teams not taken too. The Cat is the only one with full control over rosters for teams not taken. I do know rosters for the untaken teams in the atlantic though: Miami Heat: Jahidi White*/Duane Causwell Todd Fuller/A.C. Green Ricky Davis/Bruce Bowen/Pervis Ellison Dan Majerle/Eddie House Anthony Carter/Brian Shaw/Doug Overton Orlando Magic: John Amaechi*/Andrew DeClercq/Reggie Slater Michael Doleac/Don Reid Pat Garrity/Monty Williams Dee Brown/Laron Profit Troy Hudson/Tyrone Lue/Corey Alexander These are probably the worst teams at the moment. Hornets and Clippers are the best teams not taken now as Pacers is gone. *These players have been given back to the teams after this years draft. It is possible that Cat will return them to the draft pool so you can pick other players you want more. This way you will have more control over what you want to do with your team. I will come back with the list of undrafted players in a few mins. ------------------ Join the CC.net NBA Sim ------------------------- The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades
I second that request. If you get a chance, I'd like to see my roster. I saw the one on the CC.net sim website, but I don't know if that roster is current. ------------------ I'm about to boldly go where many men have gone before.
Erick Dampier-- 27 mpg, 9.2 pts, 7.3 reb Jahidi White -- 22.8 mpg - 5.9 pts - 6.3 reb Vitaly Potapenko -- 34 mpg, 15.2 pts, 6.8 reb Tyrone Hill -- 22 mpg - 7.2 pts - 5.2 reb Corliss Williamson -- 25 mpg - 9.3 pts - 3.8 reb Eddie Robinson-- 25 mpg, 10.2 pts, 2 reb Bryant Stith-- 31 mpg, 10.6 pts, 2.4 asst Jud Buechler-- 31 mpg, 9.1 pts, 2.1 reb Tony Delk-- 31 mpg, 14.3 pts, 3 asst Bob Sura-- 12 pts, 3.8 asst Brevin Knight-- 33 mpg, 10 pts, 8 asst Chris Childs-- 19 mpg, 5.2 pts, 3.1 asst Keyon Dooling-- 9 pts, 4 asst, 26 min Q. Richardson-- 7 pts, 4 reb, 2 asst, 19 min James Posey-- 11 pts, 4 reb, 30 min Lamond Murray-- 7 pts, 2 reb, 18 min Vonteego Cummings-- 9 pts, 4 asst, 26 min Marcus Fizer-- 10 pts, 3 reb, 24 min NB!!! This list inludes players that could no longer be available as this was the list I compiled when GettinBranded joined a couple of days ago. As an example he picked up Bulls, and ergo he will get to keep Marcus Fizer. The same goes for the other that joins. They will get to keep players originally on the team. The above players who was given up in the 2 player draft (and went undrafted) has also been transfered back to computer teams after the draft. This transfer was done by Cat and based on what the teams gave up in the draft. Pacers lost the most (Best, Harrington & Croshere) so they got the best transfered back. I do not know if you will keep these players on your team, and only draft additional players, or if Cat opts to submit them back to the draft-pool and then let the new GM first pick for what was lost in the draft (in the order they lost it) or that you just get to pick the additional ones. Anyway it should pan out about the same as if Cat transfer the players back Pacers would get to pick back these 3 players in about the top5 picks or so. I think probably you will just get to pick additional players to save time. But anything I have mentioned in this thread is not official, as The Cat might have a better solution on how to do this. ------------------ Join the CC.net NBA Sim ------------------------- The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades
There could be others valuable players to draft. Jonathan Bender was one player that didnt make it to this list as his numbers wasnt good last season. But players do get better - Benders production has exploded this preseason as he puts up 20 pts, 5-6 rebs and a couple of assists. (These numbers on vague memory alone) But as SamCasell picked up Pacers, he will no longer be available. He could be a Bulls player but I can not see that GettinBranded has picked any players yet. But there could be other young players like him that has a much better production now than last season numbers - I would give the young clippers remaining a serious look. BTW all numbers over are last seasons numbers. ------------------ Join the CC.net NBA Sim ------------------------- The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades
That roster is not current, and they have never been Pacers. I think Heat and Magic is the only teams that have current rosters. All the others is just templates waiting to get filled. What I can say for all you GMs that sign up is that every team started out with the real NBA roster as they were in march. 4 players with season ending injuries were held back and given to the first 4 new GMs that signed up. Celtics - A .Mourning Knicks - G. Hill Cavs - P. Hardaway Bulls - Z. Ilgauskas It is possible to find what players were lost in the drafts, but not as easy to find what players was transfered back. What I can say is that Pacers have lost almost all their team, and we can't understand why they wont go awy. This draft they lost Best, Harrington and Croshere. Last season they lost their other top players (Rose, O'Neal & Miller, think that is all). I know that Tyrone Hill was one of the players that was transfered back this year. The other ones I can't remember. ------------------ Join the CC.net NBA Sim ------------------------- The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades
