Teams have been selected and the Inaugural Draft order has been determined (randomly) below:

Draft Order
1. New Orleans Buccaneers (Caesar)
2. Toronto Raptors (Captain Canada)
3. Providence Steamrollers (djp73)
4. Los Angeles Lakers (league-owned)
5. Vancouver Grizzlies (Xixak)
6. New York Knicks (Agent)
7. San Antonio Spurs (mvp)
8. Boston Celtics (Lupe)

The draft will operate as a snake draft, meaning the order will reverse in each round. For example, the Celtics will pick last in round 1, but have the first pick in round 2.

Rules of the Draft

• Each team will have a 2-day window to make their selection. The clock window will only be reset at 12PM EST from Monday to Friday. After hours and weekend hours do not count towards the clock expiring, although you may officially post your selection during those hours.
  
  For example if pick 1 is made at 4pm on Monday, the next selection will have the entirety of the next two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) to make their pick. If they have not made their pick by 12pm EST the following day (in this example, Thursday at 12pm EST), the next pick's clock will activate.
• If your clock runs out, you will be able to make your official pick during any time afterwards.
• Once your pick is made, the next team will be on the clock. In cases of teams making a selection of a player who was already previously picked on accident or a player who does not fit within a team's remaining salary: these cases will be treated the same as a team whose clock has expired and they can make a new selection at any time afterwards, though the clock will activate for the team with the following selection.
• Each team will be responsible for calculating their salary in order to stay within the hard cap of $120M throughout the entirety of the draft.
• There will be a total of 10 rounds. You are able to carry a maximum of 15 players, so you can sign players after the draft provided you have enough cap space to sign them.
• To make a selection, post in the following format:
  City Team selects Player Name, $XXX (salary)
  
  For example, if the Rockets want to select James Harden, it would look like the following:
  
  Houston Rockets select James Harden, $36.35M
• Again, track your money. This is important.
