Hey guys just to add to the above. Many thanks to the admin team for letting me post here.

It is great to see the league still going after all these years and so many of the OG still around.

Hopefully I'll see a few of you in the RBL as well and if anyone wants to chat about the league or just catch up in general please feel free to reach out :)

We are at the '79 conference finals stage and some interesting teams are available as we head into the offseason.

Denver Nuggets - 35-47 Dan Issel, Brian Taylor and rookie Michael Cooper for the core. Should be a playoff team in the right hands.

Washington Bullets - 24-48 A team that needs new ownership and a clean slate to rebuild.

There may be some new franchises available as we get closer to the end of season check-in. So a perfect time to join the server and chat until then :)

Now in the 1979 offseason and the draft featuring Magic and Bird we have 3 interesting teams available:

Denver Nuggets - 27-43 Dan Issel, Brian Taylor and rookie Michael Cooper for the core. Better than their record?
New Jersey Nets 42-42 - Bernard King just won the MVP in his second season, can you build a contender around him?
Cleveland Cavaliers - 21-49 - A complete rebuild team but a young Reggie Theus is a shining light!
