Rookie Draft?

Well boys, I'm back from a week in Oregon. Beautiful holiday. Beautiful coastline. Beautiful area.
And I still have another week off work!! Yahoo!
So, before I went on holidays, I was writing a lot about holding a JBL rookie draft. I've canvassed the idea with 3 other JBL owners it's looking like something that we will consider doing. However, I think that we need to put this to a vote. Every rule change we've ever considered in the JBL has been put to a vote and this is another time to keep with tradition. We have a few things to work on then while we also have some solid concepts in place already...



  • I think the rookie draft should be just 1 round

  • I think a JBL owner should be able to 'PASS' on their pick if they want
But after that - there are a lot of things up for debate...

1. Vote on whether to conduct a rookie draft? (need 3 out of 4 JBL owners to approve)
2. Determine the salary structure for the picks/rookies
3. Determine rules around trading of rookies
4. What are the rules around trading future rookie picks?
5. If the NBA is still locked out on October 29th - should we conduct our JBL Auction?

So - I think the best way to get the ball moving on this is to have a JBL owners summit. Get the boys together for a barbeque or something and chat about the options and rules around the issue. We would need 9 of the 13 JBL owners to say 'YES' to a rookie draft. So, let's see what the JBL owners have to say....
