Some of you might recognize this name from asap cohen I really liked this mock idea but we never got too complete it bc of the earthquakes and I’ve. Decided too host it again I will sim on 2k but anyways here are the rules. The OG Simplicity mock was one ran by myself and some other creators. The idea was to create a mock that was fast, realistic, and simple. This mock will follow the same blueprint
This will be an off-season mock. I will sim the rest of the regular season as well as the postseason once every spot for the mock has been filled. The results for this will of course be posted. After this is where the fun will really start!
———————————————————————————
Schedule ———————————————————————————
1 day for pre NBA Draft trades
The Draft
1 day for post NBA Draft trades
2 days for FA
Sim to the trade deadline
1 day for trade deadline moves
Sim to the end of the regular season
Sim the playoffs
End of the mock
———————————————————————————
Trades ———————————————————————————
The Stepein rule will not happen
The recently signed rule will NOT be in place as you will be able to trade FA’s you just signed until the trade deadline
The recently traded rule will NOT be in place so long as a player isn’t being excessively traded
Once trading starts I will put a link for both the trade negotiation and official trades pages here:

———————————————————————————
The Draft ———————————————————————————
https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/jJHtv6-sICXrrV/simple-mock-draft
The draft order is the same from real life and u are allowed too make traded during the draft but jst immediately tell me if u are
The draft class will of course be real 2025 prospects. This is someone else’s draft class that I’ve been making tweaks to throughout the year. The players ratings are a mix of the original creators ratings, my on ratings, and how a player has performed statistically.
———————————————————————————
Team/Player Options ———————————————————————————
For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to assume that all team options are being accepted. If there is a player whose option you would like to decline, make sure and reach out to me about it before the conclusion of the post draft trade period.
After the post draft trading has ended, I will post a list of all of the players who have accepted or declined their options.
———————————————————————————
Free Agency ———————————————————————————
As I mentioned above there will be two days of FA. Each day will have free agency available for every hour
Players will weigh their offers and decide whether to sign or wait it out after each period.
Players will be taking more than money into account when looking to sign with a team! When you comment an offer for a FA, be sure to give a short blurb about why they should join your team.
There will be NO trades during FA! This will help me be able to run the mock as efficiently as possible. The only exception to this is the extremely rare situation that we have a s&t.
There will NOT be a list of available players. This is information that is readily available on the internet. The FA’s will be anyone whose contract has expired along with those players who declined their PO’s.
———————————————————————————
Sim ———————————————————————————
The sim will be ran on 2k, but with a custom roster. This should prevent anyone from using overalls of players in trade negotiations. Act as a real GM!
The sim can be very time consuming, so please be patient with me as I try to compete it!
———————————————————————————
Sign Ups ——————————————————————————-
Being one of the first people to sign up does not guarantee you a spot! I’m not super familiar with many of the newer creators so I will be consulting a group of active creators who I trust to tell me if someone should or shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the mock.
This is nothing personal. I just don’t need unnecessary drama going on in the mock. They are hard enough to run as is.
