SIGN UPS ARE STILL OPEN! View this link to see which teams are in the lottery and have a chance at LeBron, Melo, and Wade!
Most updated rosters: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kawntent1/PaoloBasketballLeaguePBL/main/BBGM_League_1_2003_draft_lottery.json
The PBL stands for the Paolo Basketball League and it is my inaugural mock. Paolo Banchero was born in November 2002, so that will be the first season of the mock (2002-2003). Additionally, this season is the lead-up to LeBron James’ entering the league. This means that you can choose to either tank for LeBron, Melo, or Wade, or you can take advantage of those tanking teams and build a superteam for yourself!
Since we’re starting in 2002-03, there are only 29 teams. The rosters we will start off with are the base 2002-2003 rosters in Basketball-GM. Real player determinism is off, so someone like Darko could still be a star in this league!
The Nets are still in New Jersey, and the SuperSonics are still in Seattle.
Sign-ups start today. No trades shall be made official until this Saturday, when we will begin simulation through the trade deadline. At that time, any remaining teams will be managed by the league.

Miscellaneous Rules:

Draft will be conducted using draft boards in round 1 and if you don’t make a pick I will simulate it or give you some amount of time to make the pick, and the second round will be simulated unless a particular player is requested.

No need to create a roster page, rosters are publicly available on the link in this post and will be updated as the league progresses. The PBL will simulate a guaranteed 1 year, but I plan to simulate much farther than that. If you’re not in a place to make that commitment, don’t worry, you can still join. When you feel you can no longer continue with the mock, just let me know, and your team may be taken by a new GM.
