-Each team would be allowed to protect its 4 or 5 best players.
-The remaining players would be entered into an expansion draft.
-The team that lost its players would then construct a 14 man roster from the expansion draft player pool.
-The team would only be allowed a maximum of one player from each team (therefore not allowing for another franchise to be destroyed by losing all of its players in the expansion draft).
-That team would also get the number one pick and keep its current pick for the upcoming NBA draft.
This brings up an intriguing question as to what 4 or 5 players you would want your team to keep. As a Nuggets fan, the 5 players I would keep on the roster would Carmelo Anthony, Ty Lawson, Nene, JR Smith, and Chauncey Billups. Those are their 5 best/most needed players.
I'm not hoping that any team dies, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen and if that team could succeed?
So what 5 players would you keep from your team?
Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, and Patrick Ewing.
ReplyDeletemy team is of course the 1992 dream team
The team assembled by USA Basketball for the tournament in Barcelona in 1992 was one of the most illustrious collections of talent assembled in the history of international sport. Of the twelve players on the team, ten were named in 1996 among the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, the NBA's official list of the 50 greatest players of the league's first 50 years. Because of this star line-up, the team's games usually featured opposing teams asking for pregame photos and autographs with their U.S. opponents—their idols. The USA team was so much better than the competition that head coach Chuck Daly did not call a single timeout during the tournament
