s/timberwolves - Multi Mock V2

Welcome to the Multi Mock V2! This mock is multiple creators who have come together in hopes of making one really good mock. We have borrowed ideas from other mocks as well as came up with some of our own. The creators who are working on this mock are: AsapCohen, Bron, and Kyrie11BKN. As you know, running a mock is a lot of work and can be very challenging to do yourself. Because of that we will all be running different parts of the mock, but we will talk more about that in a little. Note: (There are some other surprise creators who might be helping out as well)

The Basics: This mock will start in the regular season. Here is where the twist comes in, there will be 4 stoppages during the “year” so you can trade. Along with that, there are going to be divisions. There will be 4 divisions of 8 teams. So there will be 2 expansion teams, but we will address that later. To start off the year, us 3 will rank 8 teams in each division. The first division (D1) will be the best with the best teams. The second division is D2 , then D3, then D4. During each stoppage, the two best teams from each group will go up into a higher division and the other 2 worst will go to a lower division. For the 2 top teams in D1 they will just stay. This will be simulated on 2K22. We will get into the specifics about each stage down below. The thing that determines the winner of this mock is what differentiates it from other mocks. The winner of the mock will be determined by who has the most GM points (GMP). GMP can be earned by completing objectives (more about that later), making really good trades or signings, and by individual player and team achievements.

Stoppages: At each stoppage you will be allowed to negotiate with other GM’s and make trades. Each stoppage will last around a day, so you will have to work quickly. For the first 3 stoppages, you will be allowed to trade but the last one you will not be allowed to.

Expansion:

Each Team Will Protect 8 Players and the 2 expansion teams will have a draft of the unprotected players.

Objectives: Each team will be given one big objective. This objective is a hard one and will be worth anywhere from 0-20 GMP. It will be very open ended and still gives you the freedom to do whatever you want with your team. These goals are more about finding a direction for your team or keeping them going in the right direction. If you do a great job, completing it you will get more points, but if you completely ignore it, you could be in the negatives in GMP! Along with your main goal, you will also be given 2 other goals. One medium goal (worth 10 GMP) and one small goal (worth 5 GMP). These goals are easier and will be slightly more specific, but still give you the freedom to make whatever trades you want.

The Draft: After the season and the postseason, we gather up the 14 worst teams and put it into the Tankathon to determine the lottery. We will then post that order. After the order is posted, there will be 2 days (48 hours) until the draft starts. Trading will re open during this period. After the 2 days are up, the draft will start. Our goal is to finish all 60 picks in the 5 days following the draft.Since not everyone is familiar with the 2023 Draft prospects, we will get 3 scouts. These scouts will answer questions about the draft. We will try and drop scouting reports of players too. We’ve decided on some rules in order to keep the draft moving quickly. You will be messaged by one of the creators helping with this mock when it is your turn to pick. From the time that message is sent you will have 4 hours to make your selection. You will not be required to make any picks between 10 P.M. and 8 A.M. EST We can't say how important this is but please make a Big Board so if you're not around in the 4 hours that are provided, we can take the top from that list. If your time runs out and no list has been left for us, we will make an educated selection for you. Please remember that a really good selection could result in bonus GMP for you!

Trading: Bron will be handling all things trade related. His page will have the negation page(s) as well as the official trade post. Trading will officially start after the expansion draft but you can start negotiating deals before then. During each stoppage in the season you will have a chance to make trades. After the season is over, trading will start again when the draft order is released (2 days before the start of the draft). Trades can be discussed before then, but nothing will be official until then. We are going to try and refrain from vetoing trades, but if one is very lopsided we will do so. All players are allowed to be traded as long as they aren’t free agents. FAs will only be allowed to be traded during free agency via s&ts. Trading will end at the end of free agency. There will be one more brief trading period at the trade deadline (more on that later). We ask 3 things of you in regards to trading. A roster post with players and picks is required. This makes life easier on everyone. Please try to do most of if not all of your negotiations on the trade negotiations page. This allows everyone to see it. You can make sweepstakes posts but please limit it to 3 days max.

Free Agency: We will all be handling free agency, as it is the hardest part about a mock. During this period, FA’s can be traded via s&t’s. Free agency will be broken down into 2 periods. The first period is RFA. It will last 2 days. There will be a post with the RFA’s where you can make offers for them. Players will take more into account then just money. At the end of the 2 days, the players' team will have the opportunity to match the contract they want to sign with another team. If they do not match it, the team with the best offer will get the player. The next phase will be UFA. It will last 5 days. There will be a post with the UFA’s. Teams will be able to offer on the players. Once again they will take more into account then just money. The players will decide what team to sign with 48 hours after getting there first offer. At the end of this period trading will also end.

Simulation: Kyrie11BKN will also be handling the sim part of this mock. The sim will be done on 2K22. He is also using his own custom roster with realistic ratings and mods to keep it fair by having D1 teams face other D1 teams. Please make trades as a real GM, not a 2K GM. The sim will start after the expansion mock and 2 days of trading. Trade Deadline: The next portion of the mock is the trade deadline. This will be a brief stoppage in the sim. You will be able to see the league standings and possibly receive new objectives to complete for GMP. After the standings and new objectives are posted, you will have 2 days (48 hours) to complete any trades. After that we will move on to our next phase of the mock.

Mid Season Tournament: This Tournament will be between D2 Teams and D3 Teams so a 16 team tournament. The winner of this tournament will get 1 of 3 things. 10 GMP, Guarantee into Playoffs, Improved Lottery Odds. Depending on the direction of your team you can choose 1 of these. Waiving Players Deadline: In real life, lots of veteran players are waived from young teams after the trade deadline. In order to keep this mock as close to real life as possible, we shall also be including that. After the trade deadline is over, you will have 1 day (24 hours) to announce to us any players who you are waiving. We will compile a list and then move on to the next phase of the mock.

Buyout Market: The result from veteran players being waived is the buyout market. That is the next phase of our mock. A list will be made of all of the waived players, teams will then have 2 days (48 hours) to make offers on the players. At the end of the 2 days, the players will decide what team to sign with. Please note that money will not matter near as much to these players as the chance to win a championship. At the end of this phase, the sim will start up again and go through the end of the season.

Playoffs: The Playoffs will be for D1 Teams and the Winner of the Mid Season Tournament depending on what they choose. It will be a single elimination and win or go home.

End Of Season: During this phase we will post what players won individual awards as well as the playoff bracket and champion. As I mentioned earlier, these individual and team achievements will also be worth GMP. If a player is on any of the all nba, all defensive, or all rookie teams you will revive 5 GMP. The players who win the main awards (MVP, DPOTY, MIP, SMOTY, ROTY) will also give you 5 GMP. These rewards will stack, so the player who wins MVP will reward their team with 10 GMP (5 for winning MVP and 5 for being all nba first team). The team who wins the championship will also get 5 GMP. At the end of the mock we will tally up all of the teams GMP. The GM who has the most GMP will be the winner of the first season!

Schedule (Note: We will try to stay as close to the schedule as possible but no guarantees.) Release Date Start of Expansion Draft First Sim Date Results from the First Release Date 1st Trading Period Second Sim Date Results from the Second Release Date 2nd Trading Period Third Sim Date Results from the Third Release Date 3rd Trading Period (Lasts 2 Days) Trade Deadline Mid-Season Tournament Fourth Sim Date Results from the Fourth Sim Date Playoffs End of Season (Will Update When we Finish) Sign Ups: The sign ups for this mock will be done based off of seniority. This means that the creators who have been on the site longer and are more well known will have first dibs at what team they would like to be. We will fill in the rest of the spots with other users in order of who signs up first. Click the link down below in order to sign up for the mock. If you are a big enough creator we will inform you that you can go ahead and pick your team. If you are not, we will inform you that you have been added to the waiting list. When it is your turn to pick a team we will let you know. Please don’t be offended if you are added to the waiting list. This is the best way for us to keep the mock fun and competitive for everyone.
