I always thought a cool idea would be to randomly draw a year before each season and use the draft from that corresponding year. So the league could start with 1965, then have 1983 the next year, then 2005, then 1968, etc. I'd rather us randomly pick a 5 year span, and then divvy up the top prospects throughout the 5 years. I'd rather someone not be able to tank in the 1996 class, have three lottos and land three complete superstars while someone else could tank in the Kenyon/Stro Swift draft and come out with nothing. Well, Id need to make the draft files however I wanted. Make weak drafts stronger, strong drafts weaker, etc. |

I realize we couldn't plan ahead and purposely tank in 1996, btw. I'm just saying, eventually people will be tanking in 1996. Or the MJ draft, etc. Better to break up the classes. |

I would not mind the idea of the random year draft class, could be fun.

The one thing I didn't like about BBS was that there was never any depth to the draft classes after 2008. Changed a bit with guys like Curry exploding but the classes in the past two leagues have been so great. I think retro risks the result of stale classes but if the actual depth, potential, etc. of classes doesn't change, I really look forward to whatever decision we go with for retro. This league is pretty great. However many years we decide to keep this up is great by me. Ten seasons seems ideal to me, because I don't give a shit what others say about longevity and 20+ seasons of one league is enough to accomplish whatever you want and it's ample time for any good GM to prove himself, so it'd seem a nice time for a new challenge.
But if we go until 2050, shit, I don't mind. BBS for life yeee.

A retro league would be awesome. Whatever direction we want to take, whether it may be a complete restart or to continue with this league, works for me.

retros are only fun if the potentials are changed up. i hate being in retros where the real life stars ALWAYS become stars.

Another idea is that only Spencer knows what year the draft will be and announces it on Day 60.
This will prevent people from tanking for Jordan, etc.

Wouldn't mind retro. I'd rather start in the 1980ish range.

Id run a number generator and write down all the future draft classes. Then Id work on each file and announce them either after the AS break or right before the trade deadline. |

You sir, deserve a Nobel Prize. However, I don't want to get too excited for this, I still want to see 6-10 more BBS seasons |

I like to be organized and have a direction. Like I said, Id want all the real players to be retired before I did this. Considering we have 19 yos in this next class I wouldnt imagine wed do this for another 15-18 years. |

I want to do some college years, I set it up and itd be a complete waste not to do it for at least a year or 2. |

I'm in the anti-retro camp, although apparentely by myself, haha. Just never was a fan of retro leagues or incorporating old draft classes into a league in 2030. Meh.
I'll tag along with whatever though.

Plus its kinda cool to have players like Magic, Bird, Jordan, Barkley, etc. |
