Startup
Startup
BrassHoops began as a league during in the summer of 2010. In a startup draft, 21 new GMs drafted teams from a pool of all NBA players and signed these players to contracts under the new BH salary structure. Contracts were limited to certain salary ranges and lengths, depending on when each player was drafted. Players taken in the first round of the startup draft could be signed to as long as 5 years (at $15M/year). Players drafted later were signed to shorter and small contracts. The inaugural season got underway in November 2010.
Partway through the first season, the League Director left the league, but the remaining members were unanimous in wanting to continue BrassHoops. All the league's leadership group stayed on in their roles, and roster wrangler David Christensen stepped into the job of League Director. GMs pulled together and finished the season strong, setting up the first BrassHoops playoffs.

Consolation tournament and draft order
Consolation tournament and draft order
In 2011, BrassHoops played the first (and only) Bill Simmons consolation tournament, a 1-and-done bracket involving the teams which missed the playoffs. The winning teams in the tourney would get the #1 and #2 picks in the rookie draft. The premise was: one last competitive hurrah for teams that had missed the playoffs and/or suffered a losing season, and a prize worth fighting for. Kansas City and Washington advanced to the final game of the tourney, and KCK won, earning the top pick in the draft. WBL earned the #2 pick. (See the 2011 draft results.) League consensus was to return to a lottery in 2012 to determine the top picks in the draft. See also the 2011 Free Agency results, and trade history.
