Shoutout to BiGJORD for the idea, true legend on here, we still miss him. I won the first Bounty Mock which he hosted so I wanted to run it myself. Shoutout to Deadpoole for simming playoffs on bball gm.
How this works: Every 24 hours, a random player in the nba will have a bounty put on them. That bounty is +5 wins to your record at the end of the season(so yes it can go over 82). If you acquire the bounty player that day, you get the +5 wins simple. If you have the player and you do not trade him in 24 hours you will lose a random player with at least an 80 overall on 2k. That player is just removed from the mock entirely.
This means players that aren't very valuable now have more value in the trade market if they have the bounty on them, like Ryan Rollins could go for multiple firsts or something if the bounty is on him that day. Important: the bounty only lasts 24 hours on each player, so if I acquire Giannis and get a bounty for it, then I trade Giannis to BobRoss the next day, BobRoss doesn't get the bounty from Giannis, because the bounty on him only lasted 24 hours. A bounty won't be put on the same player twice, and each bounty player will be from a different team(irl) each day.
No salary cap, injuries in the sim, stepein rule, RT rule, RS rule, you guys get the jist there.
We're starting from where the league is today irl, we aren't redoing the draft, you guys have all those rookies(Mavs have Flagg, Jazz have Ace, etc.) This also means FA is in the same spot, so Lakers have Ayton, etc. Garza is on the Celtics, Powell on the Heat, Collins on the Clips, etc. Just be careful you make your roster post correctly.
We'll sim after one week, and watch out, because the last bounty player will be worth 10 wins, but he'll be a 3rd string player.
We aren't doing FA, if your team picks up a player IRL, then you can have him in the mock, lucky you. Except if it’s a trade in any way, so Kuminga can't just appear on your team if he's S&T IRL. You may keep RFA on your roster tho.
Plz report to me once you've acquired a bounty player, that will make tracking everyone's win boosts very easy.
The first bounty player is Isaiah Joe! Once someone takes the Thunder that person has 24 hours to trade him, so make a roster post and get trading asap!
