ONE-WEEK EXPANSION MOCK (Idea by SchlenkSystem)
The NBA is currently in terrible CHAOS. Adam Silver, worrying about the league’s terrible ratings, makes some bold moves. In an era of superteams, fans has said that “The NBA won’t look the same in 10 years”…
Suddenly, the NBA has added 2 new teams, the Las Vegas Gamblers and the Seattle SuperSonics! However, they weren’t apart of the rookie draft, so they need new players. For the expansion draft, players that teams who protected cannot be picked. Teams can then pick 5 more players to protect, 6 in total. Note that rookies are on your roster and would have to be protected to be kept. BUT... This mock would only have a week to finish the season.
The 2025 NBA Draft will start once 25 teams are filled out. And after the 2025 NBA Draft, Expansion Draft will begin.
FREE AGENCY:
With all the players moving teams, the salary cap has been abolished. Each team is given 100 coins in free agency to sign players. The max you can offer a player is 50 coins. You have to give them a very convincing pitch to join your team. If you don’t give reasoning of why they should join, they probably will turn your offer down. Also, if two teams have tied in bidding, a player will choose based on the best pitch. Please be remembered once again that the salary cap has been ABOLISHED which would mean that there is no salary cap. Also, all player options have been declined due to the simplicity of coins in free agency.
This is how you offer players:
# of years, # of coins per year (the per year rate will be how much is taken out of your coin balance, not the total in a contract)
‐ If you complete a sign-and-trade, you have to negotiate a fair contract with the player you’re singing or else the deal falls through. The per-year rate of their new contract will come out of your 100 coin balance for free agency (Ex: If I sign James Johnson for 4 years, 15 coins per year, I now have 85 coins for free agency).
HOW I DECIDE THE WINNER AND AWARDINGS:
(In this mock, I would be simulating it on NBA2K25 via mods.)
Awardings: Best Contender, Best Rebuilding and Best Overall (Yupi's Decision)
(Adding best expansion team)
OTHER RULES/IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The Salary Cap Does Not Exist.
The Stepien Rule Does Still Exists.
