Mavs Draft Night Prediction Game - Mavs2019 - 11-14-2020 Since we are all draft experts and know the MBT better than they know themselves, let´s play a little draft night game. Everybody pick five players that you think will be available at #18 five players that you think will be available at #31 in the order you think the Mavs would draft them. You get 100 points, if they select your first choice You get 80 points, if they select your second choice You get 60 points, if they select your third choice You get 40 points, if they select your fourth choice You get 20 points, if they select your fifth choice You get 10 points for each player on your list, but you lose one point for each position he´s drafted ahead of #18 or #31, and two points for each position after. So you can´t just pick 10 random dudes projected to go undrafted. Person with the most points obviously wins. I suggest a customized Draft KING moniker under their username for the winner. ________ As I already said, we know our Mavs so we need a "bonus" round: Name the top eight players, that will be acquired using the #18 or/and #31 pick, in some way, shape or form. You get 100 points, if they acquire your first choice You get 80 points, if they acquire your second choice You get 60 points, if they acquire your third choice You get 50 points, if they acquire your fourth choice You get 40 points, if they acquire your fifth choice You get 30 points, if they acquire your sixth choice You get 20 points, if they acquire your seventh choice You get 10 points, if they acquire your eight choice. You get 20 bonus points for each correctly predicted Mavs player that goes out via trade and 20 negative points for each player on your list that does not. If the Mavs just trade up or down from #18+#31 without any players involved we all lose. So let me give you my picks as an example: I predict At #18 Mavs select 1. Saddiq Bey 2. RJ Hampton 3. Desmond Bane 4. Aleksej Pokusevski 5. Jalen Smith At #31 1. Tyler Bey 2. Leonardo Bolmaro 3. Robert Woodward III 4. Jahmi'us Ramsey 5. Immanuel Quickley Top 8 trade targets involving picks: 1. Victor Oladipo 2. LaMarcus Aldridge 3. Gordon Hayward 4. Zach Lavine 5. Evan Fournier 6. Luke Kennard 7. Frank Ntilikina 8. Mike Conley Outgoing players list (remember -20 points for each player not in the potential trade): Delon Wright Jalen Brunson Tim Hardaway Jr. Justin Jackson I suggest a mod locks the topic, once the trade transaction window opens on Monday. Are you game? RE: Mavs Draft Night Prediction Game - Hypermav - 11-14-2020 I was going to just copy and paste your selections which are good. I will enter this challenge and lose gracefully. At #18 Mavs select 1. Pokusevski 2. Achiuwa 3. S Bey 4. Hampton 5. J Smith At #31 1. Bolmaro 2. T Bey 3. Bane - small chance... 4. J Ramsey 5. Woodard Top 8 trade targets involving picks: 1. Fournier 2. LaVine 3. Aldridge 4. DeRozan 5. Hayward 6. Oladipo 7. CJ McCollum eh why not 8. B Griffin Outgoing players list (remember -20 points for each player not in the potential trade): DW JJ Curry Maxi (Need Curry and Maxi for some of the bigger names) Troll pick - Tobias Harris RE: Mavs Draft Night Prediction Game - ClutchDirk - 11-14-2020 I can lock this on Monday if others agree... RE: Mavs Draft Night Prediction Game - omahen - 11-14-2020 Great idea At #18 Mav select 1. Nesmith 2. Bane 3. Green 4. S.Bey 5. Maxey At #31 Mav select 1. Bolmaro 2. Woodard 3. Quickley 4. Stewart 5. Maledon Top8 trade targets 1. Oubre 2. Richardson 3. Kennard 4. Snell 5. T. Young 6. Schroeder 7. Gay 8. Oladipo Outgoing Wright Jackson (11-14-2020, 10:00 AM)Mavs2019 Wrote: You get 20 bonus points for each correctly predicted Mavs player that goes out via trade and 20 negative points for each player on your list that does not. I suggest you expand this to minus 20 points for every player that was traded but is not on your list.

Btw this is for all transactions leading up to the draft or on draft night, so I picked Fournier, as I expect he would agree to opt into his PO to make a Mavs trade possible. Gallinari would technically not be eligible for an official trade prior to the start of FA as he is an UFA.

It is not a double penalty. I think current system stimulates you to name few names to av0id negative points.

Let´s look at it this way. If we have to play the trade system (rather than the draft system), it means trades have occured. You know that already. Otherwise the system is not in play. Therefore you want to get the most bonus points possible by accurately predicting all the players involved in the trade/s. That´s your incentive to select the traded players, BUT you need a negative control function. Otherwise I can just name the whole roster. I think it works. Plus not that much time left now until Monday. RE: Mavs Draft Night Prediction Game - Kammrath - 11-14-2020 Love this! Can we also add a prediction game where instead of guessing what the Mavs will do, we evaluate the talent and get points based on their success as rookies or something?
