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.

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

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.TheSyndicate wrote: Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:59 pmSo is Michael Thomas a 'reasonable name that could be someone's name'?garbageman wrote: Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:06 pm Alright, as of the end of the draft lotto, the poll has ended (any future votes will not be counted)
