After having a pretty good time with the fantasy baseball league this season, I am going to run a fantasy NBA league as well. I will post the details below for the Yahoo! league that I have established -- we will allow up to 12 teams to play.
This will be a real money league, each team entry will cost $50. All league entry fees (net of any transaction charges) will be paid back to the winners.
If you have questions, you can ask them by PM or post in this thread. I set up Saturday afternoon right before the regular season starts as the time for the live draft to try to be as accommodating for work schedules and time zones as possible.
Also, you may be interested to know that I personally am a complete sucker, and my money is almost completely dead here. I haven't watched an NBA game in probably five years, and other than occasionally paying attention to college players on draft day, pretty much all I know about the NBA is gathered from wqatching PTI, which is to say not very much at all. I have played fantasy basketball leagues before, and am willing to apply basic strategy, but it won't be based on any sort of real knowledge. Take that for what it's worth.
I have set the scoring to "points only" but I really don't have a strong feel for what works best. Once we have a critical mass, I will poll the confirmed owners and we may switch to head-to-head. If that is a make-or-break issue for your participation, please let me know. I don't have enough experience with this sort of thing to really make a well-informed judgment.
