If we can get enough people, between 10-14, ill set up a league.
But what is everyone's opinion, wait till nba.com opens, or do it on espn or yahoo.
personally nba.com i think is best, but ill do majority.
and ill set the draft to live and couple of weeks in advance so everyone can be online at that time, which most probably will be around 7/8pm one night.
sounds good?

and just for future reference, should we make it like first 12/14 to reply, or just have massive league?
id prefer league of 12, so first 12 in get preference, unless ppl want more, but then it makes chosin teams harder.
plus i want players who r goin to be committed the whole season, so if u no ur not, and dont kid yourself, dont bother replying.

I'm keen!
The Yahoo! one is best imo. Stock standard rotisserie format, just rock-solid gameplay without the bells and whistles.
And yeah, 12 is just about enough. Bigger leagues suck imo ...
Case in point last season with the UFC sportal comp. TERRIBLE.

Hey guys new here on sportal: Just wondering if anyone has played over at hoops.sports.ws. I have found it to be one of the better fantasy website/leagues on the web, and would encourage people to check it out. Anyway I would be interested in joining any fantasy comp that is made.

I'm down but don't have a yahoo account....
UFC proved problematic last year for 2 reasons:
- We had a sook on draft night who "quit" because he didn't get the players he wanted
- Someone was able to get 2 teams into the league and stacked one....
So yeah if you can avoid those problems go nuts. Live draft can be confusing for people "NEW" to fantasy basketball... Hence the sooking and further sooking about their team being weak. So its up to you if allow experienced people into the league or just first come, first served.

So its up to you if allow experienced people into the league or just first come, first served. Live drafting isn't that important. You can still rank your top 100 players so you can auto-draft. Last year I played UFC (nba.com) in a league against USA people and miss the live draft. I ended up with Shaq, but managed to find a sucker to trade him for Durant, & I ended up winning the league. Smart player selection and trading is more important then Live drafting

I'll definantly play all season, never played NBA Fantasy games and I want to see how I go, keen as mustard! Followed the NBA all last season for the 1st time ages due to lack of coverage over in Oz. Let me know when your going to the Live Draft.

I've just set up a SPORTAL Stock Exchange League on the NBA website:
League ID is: 104592
Password (if you need it?) is: sportal2008 (All lower case)
League Name: Sportal Legends
Selection starts on This Thursday, their currently doing all the prices.
You'll need to set up an account if needed, but doesn't take long at all to complete.
