In terms of Top 100 Prospects Armchair has found more balance with all but one team now rostering at least 1 top 100 prospect.
(8) and
(8) still sit a top the rankings both having gained 1 prospect a piece. The biggest jump since last year comes from
(5) gaining 3 new top 100 prospects, the new GM is making great strides with the top end of their farm system. While
(4) and
(3) both moved down in the standings having lost 2 top 100 prospects.

The greatest news for Armchair comes out of the Top 30 prospect lists. The average number of prospects per team is now 28.5 (!) which is pretty close to complete parity of 30 per 30. However, once you dig into the numbers there are still some teams with more quantity than others.
(55) still leads the league even though it's lost 5 prospects since last year. The new prospect signing program for unowned teams has yielded great results with
(28)
(29)
(27) now all having sold farm systems ranking right in the middle of the pack. The biggest jump in the rankings going into the season comes from
(52) having gained an impressive 11 prospects since last season.

The biggest gainer is
picking up 5 since the 2022 trade deadline, while the biggest drop is
with -6. For the most part teams have picked up or lost one here and there, which is typical with graduations and off season trades. The average team has 3 prospects, which is good, and every team has at least 1. Also, if ya'll could stop trading Top 100 specs to
that would be awesome lol.

I have something new for Armchair this season, the formula is a work in progress and so I'd love to hear suggestions but each team is awarded 2 points for a top 30 prospect and 5 points for a top 100 prospect, but no points for duplicate players. This looks like the best way to rank and quantify the depth and quality of a system. As a point of reference the average farm should score a 70 based upon this formula. So this should give GM's a good idea of how their farms relate to the rest of the league and by how much.

Im just looking at the draft prospects this and next year figuring out my plan
Today
at 12:08:08 AM
STLBlues91
:
Im ready for that expansion draft
Today
at 12:08:19 AM
Daddy
:
Yeah so about that. One team get first pick in the expansion draft. The other gets first pick in the amateur draft.
Today
at 12:10:24 AM
STLBlues91
:
Yeah figured that was how it would be
Today
at 12:11:15 AM
Daddy
:
I could flip a coin but nobody but me would see it. So a number has been selected between 1-32. You are both getting pms along with the two other mods.
Today
at 12:12:09 AM
STLBlues91
:
Sounds good. When you thinking this will occur
Today
at 12:12:41 AM
Daddy
:
Whomever guesses closer to the number gets the 1st overall pick in the amateur draft. The other picks first in expansion.
Today
at 12:13:04 AM
Daddy
:
Im getting it out the way tomorrow
Today

Ive got the tools now to build the matrix and the league.
Today

STLBlues91
:
Sounds good, I will be thinking of a solid number
Today
at 12:15:05 AM
Daddy
:
Best get to building it.
Today
at 12:15:32 AM
Daddy
:
Honestly idk why the NBA doesn't do it that way for expanding. Two teams at a time. Expansion draft to amateur draft. I think the idea is fresh and its execution will be pretty dope.

I think the NBA goes one team at a time to give the one team a better talent pool in the expansion draft and also to keep the teams from complaining about losing more players
Today
at 01:25:47 AM
Daddy
:
Thats fair
Today
at 01:27:48 AM
BayAreaBallers
:
that makes sense
Today
at 01:32:38 AM
Daddy
:
I mean they only losing one guy anyway tho. We expose 10 players, protect 5 players, each team, all 30 will lose one player.
Today
at 01:36:30 AM
Daddy
:
The expansion teams will then both have 15 players heading into the amateur draft with picks #1 & #2.
Today
at 01:37:43 AM
Daddy
:
Each other team will still have 14 players and one first round pick.
Today
at 01:38:26 AM
Daddy
:
They need to hire me is what they need to do
Today
at 01:38:53 AM
Daddy
:
Yeah you lose a guy to the expansion draft. Likely your 6th man. Then the very next day you draft his replacement and keep it moving.

Daddy quick question in your messages
Today

We are good to go.

I think in the Bobcat expansion each team could protect 8 players. And I think the bobcats has to take at least 14 so half the league didn't even lose a player.

That was a long time ago though
