[PINNED] Manifesto Archives

All previous iterations of the Manifesto will be posted here for reference.

Opening Season

For the 2010 season only, all teams, as they were drafted in the Team Draft, are only required to make sure they have:

1) Among the three option slots: either at least 9 Manifesto points (normal), or at least as many Manifesto points as the team started with (if you started at a number less than 9)
2) An option-eligible player at all three option spots (only two teams do not have at least three players on the roster)

Please note that all teams will be required to be compliant with the full Manifesto by the second season, so you should be proactive about planning for compliance ahead of time.

As I mentioned on Discord, I'll be updating the Option Manifesto mid-season for one season only to allow our league's data to override the previously-ran league's stats. Every team's roster has remained eligible through this update, so no transactions are needed for compliance. With that said, the minimum number of points each team is required to have this season has changed based on this update as well, and will be as follows:

76ers - 9
Bucks - 9
Bulls - 8
Cavaliers - 9
Celtics - 9
Clippers - 9
Grizzlies - 8
Hawks - 9
Heat - 9
Hornets - 9
Jazz - 9

I figured it's going to be easier for all parties involved if I post the Manifesto before free agency, so everybody knows what players are worth targeting and nobody has to worry about training camp ruining their plans. One other note, there was a good suggestion to allow teams a one-year reprieve from the Manifesto in the event that they lose a key option to free agency and have no means of replacing them -- I'll also extend that to retirements as well. This list will grow/change, but the following teams have a lower point standard for the 2011 season:
