Copying the e-mail I sent out...
Hey guys,
Just wanted to put out some feelers for getting hoops back off the ground.
Shoot me a response back if you'd like to: 1) return to current season 2) return but with a historical restart 3) return with a hybrid (finish out where we are but also do a concurrent historical sim) 4) not return
Best, Josh

#1 for me. Too much invested into the next few seasons. I'm not sure exactly what #3 would look like. I'd be open to it as long as my stock of draft picks stays the same.
I sure hope everyone else embraces this opportunity.

I like option 3.
Want to complete the current season so I can once again embrace the bitter disappointment of post season failure and have “closure” on the current iteration of VaV hoops before starting anew.
Seriously though, nothing seems to revitalize the participation like a reboot...

finish the current season, then reboot with historic rosters, shrink the league to maintain activity.

If we are going to finish and then reboot, which is not what I understand #3 to be, although I am not certain, I would hope we could finish 2-3 seasons to honor decisions we all made in good faith over the past season or two. It's not often a GM is able to orchestrate a potential power move like the Lakers 2017 draft capital. I'd at least like to see how those picks land based on the record of the teams that traded them, and then complete the draft.

Preference would be 2 or 3, but ok with whatever is decided.

If my understanding of #3 is correct in that we keep the current iteration going and then recycle historic players when we run out of real-life rookie classes, then count me in. I don't know how you old-timers handled historical re-boots because the folks who end up with Luka, Trae, and Zion are not going to have a chance to build their team.

We ran out of draft classes for VaV 1.0, so we started with older draft classes from the early 70's I think? It was just very weird because of the times, there were really no 3 point shooters.
That said, I am OK with any of the first 3 options.
If we reboot again, how do we decide teams? Can that be totally random? The only thing I am not super in favor of is if we do reboot, that we do another fantasy draft like we did for the VaV 2 reboot. I'd much rather start with an actual real roster from whatever year. If we start in 1962 for example, I am happy to be randomized whoever. Sure it would be awesome to get Boston or LA but I'd be fine with Philly or Detroit or NY or etc. Or, we are randomly assigned teams and the draft is auto ran by the AI, so if I get Boston, I'm not necessarily getting Bill Russell- who knows who I'll have. (Again, that was just an example, I'm just saying I don't want a fantasy draft again..it was long and tedious the first time around, I'd rather reboot with a team in place ready to go)

I would like option 2. After a long hiatus and knowing that many gms might not return, it makes the most sense to me.

Open to any of the options. If we choose to reboot, I may have a couple of buddies that would want to join. They have experience in other Sim Leagues.

I say 2 or 3 but it should depend on how many gma return. If a lot of gms return we should probably do 3 but I do like option 2 a lot it was fun last time. Like cavsgm said would we do a fantasy draft or pick real teams from that period?

By option 3, I really meant that we could run concurrent leagues. For those who would like to continue the current version, we could run another 3-4 seasons while also starting our 3rd iteration of a historical sim.
