I would like to thank Kori for allowing me the opportunity for posting this thread.
My name is Ngozika Nwaneri aka FWG Wani from PASPN.net. We've been covering the NBA for 12 years now and know how dry things can get during the dog days of the NBA offseason which is why we created and launched off-season fantasy basketball, the first fantasy basketball game governed by the rules of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. Users can either take over the GM duties of an NBA team or create a Sport Agency based on the end of the 2007-08 regular season. The object of the game is to re-tool your team for the up and coming Fantasy basketball season and to find new homes for NBA free agents during the free agency period. In addition to traditional trading (which involves matching player salaries), GMs have to decide team options, create a draft list for the rookie NBA Draft, negotiate player buyouts, and work with agents to sign free agent players during the free agency period. Agents decide player options (like Baron Davis, or Corey Maggette for example) and look out for the best situation for their clients. The game is pretty involved as it captures all the elements and drama of an NBA off-season from both the GM and Sports Agent prospective which is why it starts in the summer time (now) unlike traditional fantasy basketball games.
The game continues into the NBA Regular season where GMs compete in an 18-week head-to-head NBA-like schedule while Agents competition is based on their clients game performance and how much they were able to make for their clients when negotiating new contracts.

This game is broken down into phases:
Phase 1 is before the NBA rookie draft
a. You can trade soon-to-be free agents to free up salary cap space for free agency
b. You decide team options
c. You can move up in the rookie draft
d. No free agents can be claimed
e. You can negotiate buyout
Phase 2 is the rookie draft
a. You draft rookies
Phase 3 free agency (starts a day after the draft is finished)
a. Agents can represent free agents
b. Agents decide player options
c. Gms can make offers to free agents
Phase 4 regular season play (October-March)
a. GMs face off head-to-head in 18-week regular season
b. Agents face off in Rotisserie-style play
Phase 5 Playoffs (for GMs only April)
a. GMs face off in NBA playoffs
Here's a sample screen shot to give you an idea of the controls

We are looking to fill out a league of GMs and Agents that starts next Tuesday afternoon.

Please PM me or email me at [email protected] if you are interested in joining and I'll send you the invite. The game is really fun and will speed up the time between now and the start of the NBA season. You can join as a GM or an Agent. An agent is more laid back and doesn't require as much time as a GM because you are just signing contracts and renegotiating player buyouts
