If you have been following my profile for a while, you might know that I have already done this mock before, and it was a massive success, as a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. Differences are that 1) the rosters have obviously changed drastically since the time that I did it, and 2) I will have Guru run this with me this time around.
Here is how this will work:
In the comments, say what team you want and what player you want to put back in their prime. This player must be a player who CURRENTLY plays for your team. For example, if you take the Celtics and choose Prime Horford, you would put him in your roster post as Al Horford (Prime), so people know that it’s not current Horford.
All contracts will be the same, even if you choose a player to put back in his prime, he will still get paid the same contract
No salary cap
All draft picks will be the same
There is no Stepien
There are no injuries
Me and Guru veto any lopsided trades
I highly encourage you to make a roster post
If you are gonna join this mock, then you must be active, because if you aren't active then you might get replaced.
When reporting trades, the other user must confirm
This might sound hypocritical for me to say, but I won't say what platform the sim will be on, because if I said what platform it will be on, then people will focus too much on the players' ratings, and that kinda eliminates the fun.
Using a burner in this mock will result in an immediate ban from this mock, no excuses.
Below this description is a bunch of teams, and in parentheses, there are players that you could put back in their prime. Keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and these would be what I would choose if I were joining this mock and if I had to choose a prime player.
