We either need a hard line policy for renames or we don't. Vote here by the end of the draft lotto and policy will be enacted.

Select as many options as you want. If one's not on here, please specify in comments.

To pass, an option has to get at least 50% of the leading option

Alright, as of the end of the draft lotto, the poll has ended (any future votes will not be counted)

The following renames will be legal:
Real basketball players -- can be high school, college, or pro level (as long as they're ones we haven't used)
Reasonable names that could be someone's name (both first and last name exist with several provable instances)
Names from random draft files we haven't used (e.g. Modestine Degrimonpon and Dong Bone!)
Names of people we know (so we can name players after ourselves and each other)


Anything else will be REJECTED

So is Michael Thomas a 'reasonable name that could be someone's name'?
6 Rings. That's it. That's the tweet.

Barring any context it would be, but given that it's a NOLA heavy sim league where he's a frequent topic of discussion, I'm ruling that as a non-basketball sports player name.

Okay, please rename to Miguel Thomas
