How NBA Dynasty Redraft Works

The NBA Draft Time Machine simulator lets you take control of an NBA franchise and rewrite its draft history across multiple seasons.

Rebuild your franchise, by picking your era and starting year, then decide how many consecutive drafts you want to run. Make the picks and see how your decisions change the team’s future.

Success is measured against where the franchise actually was. We take its real record in your starting season, project the rebuilt roster forward through your drafts and the seasons that follow, and the difference in wins is your score. Turning a 20-win team into a 60-win one counts for more than adding a handful of wins to a contender.

Every season assumes a fully healthy roster. We don’t forecast injuries, so no run is derailed by one and no player is written off early — the projection is about your picks, not luck.

Can you turn a struggling franchise into a dynasty? Can you build a championship team by making better draft decisions year after year?

Make your picks, build your roster and see how your NBA franchise could have evolved.

NBA Dynasty Redraft FAQ

Is this an NBA rebuild simulator?

Yes. NBA Dynasty Redraft is an NBA rebuild simulator where you rebuild a franchise through the draft rather than through free agency or player trades. Pick any team from 1996 to 2025 and make its first-round picks across up to five straight drafts, trading up on draft night if you want a higher pick. The simulator then projects the rebuilt roster's record season by season, along with the titles it would have won.

How does NBA Dynasty Redraft work?

NBA Dynasty Redraft lets you take control of an NBA franchise and redraft several consecutive draft classes. Choose your era and starting year, pick the franchise you want to run, and decide how many straight drafts to play. From there you make your team's first-round selections yourself while the simulator handles the rest of the league.

What is the NBA Draft Time Machine simulator?

The NBA Draft Time Machine simulator is a collection of interactive tools that let you explore alternative NBA history. NBA Dynasty Redraft is the one that takes a single franchise through multiple drafts and projects how different selections would have changed its future.

How many drafts can I redraft?

You can take a franchise through one to five consecutive NBA drafts, so you build the roster over several seasons rather than changing a single draft class.

Can I choose any NBA team?

You choose your era and starting year first, then pick from the franchises that existed in that season. Recent years offer all 30 teams; older years offer the league as it stood, so a 1996 dynasty starts from 29 franchises and uses the names of the day, like the Seattle SuperSonics and the Vancouver Grizzlies.

What years can I use for NBA Dynasty Redraft?

Starting years run from 1996 to 2025, grouped into four eras: the late 90s, the 2000s, the 2010s and the 2020s. Your starting year is where your alternate franchise history begins, and the run continues through the following drafts.

Can I make my own draft picks?

Yes. You control every first-round selection your franchise holds. Make the picks you think the team should have made and see how those decisions play out across the seasons that follow.

What makes NBA Dynasty Redraft different from a normal NBA redraft?

A normal NBA redraft is a single class: you run all 30 picks of one draft and compare your board to what really happened. NBA Dynasty Redraft is the long game. You make only your franchise's picks, across up to five straight drafts, and the simulator then projects the rebuilt roster season by season, with a win-loss record for each year, the titles it would have won and a verdict on the whole run.

Does NBA Dynasty Redraft account for injuries?

No. Every projected season assumes all of your players are healthy and available, and the simulator never forecasts or simulates an injury. Player ratings follow each player's real season-by-season level, so a year someone actually missed is carried over rather than counted as a lost season, and nobody's run is cut short mid-dynasty. The idea is that your record reflects the picks you made rather than luck you couldn't control. The one thing that does end a player's contribution is a career that genuinely finished: in the seasons projected after your final draft, a player whose real career had ended by then drops off the roster and your own drafted depth moves up.

How is my NBA Dynasty Redraft run scored?

Your run is scored on the wins you added, not on the raw record. The starting point is the franchise's real regular-season record in the season before your first draft, scaled to 82 games. The simulator then projects your rebuilt roster season by season through every draft you play and three further seasons after the last one, and takes your best year from that whole timeline, projected seasons included. The difference between the two is your score, so rebuilding a 20-win team counts for far more than improving a team that was already winning. That win improvement is also how the weekly leaderboard is ranked.

Can I build an NBA dynasty?

That's the challenge. Make smart selections across several drafts and see how your franchise performs as the new roster develops. The best runs each week land on the Dynasty Redraft leaderboard, ranked by how many wins you added to the franchise's real starting record.

Is the NBA Draft Time Machine simulator free?

Yes. You can play NBA Dynasty Redraft online for free and create your own alternate NBA franchise history.
