Update 3.00
13 ppl now! Probably accept 1 more person and thats it!
Update 2.75
4 more days til draft. If you haven't joined... and want to join... well then join! lol.
Update 2.675
12 ppl now! I guess things are pretty much set unless we get 4 more ppl. Hurry and join if you haven't!
UPDATE 2.5
Live Draft has been set a day earlier to October 11 at 9PM central time.
If people aren't free during that day or time... throwdown a line...
UPDATE 2.0
Got 10 people so far. 6 more spots available! although if there is a demand for it it the league can be extended to 20 teams total.
Okay so it looks like a good amount of ppl are down for it!
I made a league since a lot of people are interested.
it shall be called "B-A-B The League 2K10".

You will probably be prompted to log in. Do so or create account. (I believe the email Doesn’t have to be Yahoo’s)
LEAGUE ID: 184253
PASSWORD: 123
League Settings are the following:
16 Teams. (I’ll add more or cut it too less depending on the turnout 20 teams is the MAX)
Head-To-Head (From my experience… its way more fun than Roto)
Trades will be determined by league votes. (1 Day review time)
Two Divisions with 8 Teams each (or 10 if we get 20 people _)
5 Max moves per week… (Prevent "Player Whoreing… where people add/drop players like 20 times in a week… everyone gets a fair chance to get a good player via waiver priority)
LIVE ONLINE DRAFT on Monday October 12th at 9:00 PM. If you cant make it ill adjust it to later.
Positions:
1PG
1SG
1SF
1PF
1C
5 UTILITY
2 BENCH
Stat Categories:
FG%, FT%, 3PM, PTs, REBs, AST, STLs, BLKs, and TOs

I sent an Email to Everyone that left an email address
Remember… anybody is free to join… But REMEMBER THIS… you must be passionate and competitive… Lets make this a challenging league. If this turns out to be a success than maybe there could be something done where the Winner of this years league gets 1st next year… also maybe make this a keeper league…
I believe the BEST competition could be found here at this very site. Lots of smart and intelligent bballfans here.
I was wondering if people would be interested now that the season is lingering closer to us...
...In forming a Fantasy NBA League for the people of THIS site.
Personally I like using Yahoo because it has the most simplistic interface and ease of use. Plus it has been pretty reliable for the last 5 years.
The only drawback is that there is NO FREE Live-stat tracking. Its 10 Bucks but you get it for all 4 of your teams...(If you care to join 4 leagues... and me being a Huge Fantasy NBA junkie don't mind THAT much)
Plus you can always check your stats The Following Day.
I've heard that CBSsports is decent... But I never really cared for "Fantasy Points" and all that other blah blah.
So... people you interested? Any suggestions? Ideas?
I think a highly competitive Fantasy NBA League... would be very fun. It would give more meaning to the games because the production of a player in real-life would in some trivial but fun way... benefit YOU.

I created a free ESPN league with 10 members.
I have to e-mail the league invitation though. Just post a throwaway e-mail address here, and the 1st 9 will get a link.

It's definitely free for football
I don’t know why they would change it for football and not for basketball.

E-mail went out, you have to create an ESPN user ID to play.
3 more spots left, after it’s full we can set the draft date.

Sorry, there were 3 people in front. If someone doesn't accept in the next few days I'll send the link to you.
Or, if one if you already know you will forget about this league by December, then Prevenge can be co-owner of a team. Since we’re not playing for money, it’d be nice if everyone kept their rosters updated and whatnot.

I should stress
That we need active owners that actually set their lineups and respond to trades.

I just joined
5 utility players is too much for a 16 team league. When you think about it, there are only 150 starters in the nba.
With 16 teams, that’s 160 players not including the bench. Including the bench, every starter in the nba plus the next 42 best players will be on a team after the draft.
This many utility players will make the waiver wire almost non existent, and if a major player gets injured your season is pretty much over, because the guy that replaces him will be a complete scrub. There’ll be no point in checking your team once the season starts, because your original roster will be your final one.
With 16 teams, i’d go with 2 util slots.

Good suggestion I'll make the adjustments!
I want this league to be as balanced as possible!

I'm in both
Dengis Khan and The Hinrich Manuever all the way!!!

Don't forget Bench players... They are important too
Especially in a DEEP league… If memory serves me right… each team in the NBA has 15 players…Times 30… 450 players…. lol…

1 PG
1 SG
1 SF
1 PF
1 C
3 UTILITY
2 BENCH

I have still have two spots open for a H2H points league on ESPN.com
I sent invitations to two people above about a week ago but they haven’t signed up. The draft is current for 10/15 at 10pm est. If anybody is interested, I need to know asap otherwise I will just find people on the espn.com forum.
