Welcome to the second version of the March Madness Mock! We've both been planning now on a brand new mock and we'll run roles as co-commissioners of the second version of the March Madness Mock. The standings will for the bracket will be determine by Kyrie, Asap and I and when we get to the tournament it is single elimination and one of us will post a poll of the rosters and you will vote!
RULES:
So, in this mock, all 30 teams make a March Madness-esque bracket and we'll go off power rankings from Asap, Kyrie and I. But, we have a twist, every team keeps their best 4 players. The rest go into an auction which lasts a week and you'll need to fill out your roster with the players that were not kept. You can select your team now and there's a separate post for all the teams taken and their 4 players left. As for trading, you can make trades for a week long similar to the auction period. The Stepien Rule will be included so no trading back-to-back picks. I'll have other links below soon, with seeding, trades, top 4 players for each team, auction, etc. Note: You can only sign 2 former players who played on your team for example the Timberwolves could only sign DLo and Kyle Anderson they wouldn’t be able to sign anyone else. Note other GMs can big on those players. Bidding starts after we get 30 teams.
