Never played fantasy basketball before, actually, I've never played fantasy anything before... little lost

Basically you sign up and then you go to yahoo on the day of the draft as specified. And we have a draft (the order is randomized by yahoo), when it's your turn you just pick the best players that are available. When the draft is over you have to have the player positions that I've specified above. Then every week you set your team (by putting 3 players onto your bench). And then yahoo calculates scores according to how well your players do on the court.

You are matched up with another team head to head. Then it keeps the standings of how many games you win, etc. If your team is sucking you can make trades, pick up free agents, etc.

I don't know it that's a good explanation but if you want to play and can be available during the draft, then just sign up and I'll help you along the way.

[angel_luv]

I won't be home for the live draft- have choir rehearsal and then I'm off to the Terrace Club for work.

But I set up my pre draft ranking list. :)

[DieMrBond]

I would love to sign up for one of these - but considering the time difference in Australia, it would be almost impossible for me to be online for a live draft.

Oh well :(

[jmard5]

Just joined. I played one before but not head-to-head.

[Summers]

I won't be home for the live draft- have choir rehearsal and then I'm off to the Terrace Club for work.

But I set up my pre draft ranking list. :)

I'm a total fantasy league virgin, so... since I'lll be in Missouri that weekend, is the preranking Angel did something that's pretty easy to set up? And if I completely suck, it won't affect anyone else will it? Basically, I'm curious about how to play and want to ease into it...

If I can play, anyone can. :) You should join. It's fun.

After you register there is a link to the page that lets you edit your pre- ranking. There you will find the simple instructions as how to do it.

You can pm me if you want/ need help. :)

Awesome! Thanks so much. I may do that. I think I'll check it out. (Does this mean I have to watch Rick Kamla? :lol )

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm in, and looking forward to the live draft! Just call me "Serenity".

I won my head to head league last year. My mainstays were Dwight Howard and LeBron, although I also picked up Diaw for free off waivers at the start of the season, and other good pickups included Felton, Kristic (last 2 months) and Granger (on and off)... my worst performers were Peja and J O'Neal who both got injured then sucked it up the rest of the way.

Can't wait! :D

[angel_luv]

Awesome! Thanks so much. I may do that. I think I'll check it out. (Does this mean I have to watch Rick Kamla? :lol )

:tu :)

Last year I was a drafting disaster and lost big time. But I did love my team :)

[Manu20]

I'm in. :tu

[ATX Spur]

Watch out for the Eggrolls! :spin

[angel_luv]

SuperStars!

[ATX Spur]

SuperStars!

Damn, your team name is way better than mine. angel_luv, how much of a Spurs homer are you when you draft your team?

[angel_luv]

Thanks about the name. I like it. Last year my team was Outside the Arc Angels. :lol


As to your question:
Last year I was incredibly loyal :) to the Spurs as well as to all my Slovenians.

I drafted every Slovenian in the league in my first ten picks and I also drafted Bruce and Robert.

Timmy, Tony, and Gino all got taken before I could get to them.

[Horry For 3!]

League is full now, I was the 14th person to sign up.

[T-ray31]

Played fantasy basketball for the first time last year. Had alot of fun.
I have been a lurker for years here, this will be a way to get more involved.
Good luck to everyone, I'm the Raiders. Just love the Silver and Black!!

[SequSpur]

hey.. how much is it?

[gospursgojas]

damn full.... ahh well

[SequSpur]

It's free smart guy. Kori, since its full, can you make a new one?

ah shit.. free? really? wow... must be a catch... what do you win?

[ATX Spur]

Timmy, Tony, and Gino all got taken before I could get to them.

I fear I'll be the same way with my favorite Spurs. :king

[J.T.]

ah shit.. free? really? wow... must be a catch... what do you win?

TPark's head

[J.T.]

Yeah Kori if you could open another one that would be fantastic.

Bragging rights. :)

[J.T.]

You also win a trophy on your Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Player Profile. It's very dandy. I printed it out and put it on my fridge when I won last season.

It's not hard. NorCal could probably do it. Key word probably.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Will all the names of the teams and owners be posted on this thread?

[rayray2k8]

They're both full. damn.

[PAWW]

Any chance of getting another one, Kori? I played last year and had a lot of fun.

[Kori Ellis]

I'll start another one later tonight.

[polandprzem]

:pctoss I was late

[polandprzem]

and I'm going to sleep now :depressed

[polandprzem]

Thanks Kori and great that you are on that leauge :spin

[PAWW]

Thanks, my All Starrs are in!

[E20]

I joined the 3rd league.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can you explain how the live draft works? We all go to a specific site in yahoo or something? Can you post a link to the draft?

I'm very keen on a live draft this year as last year we didn't have one and I only ranked the first 50 players, so I ended up with a lot of crap...

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Does anybody have advice on how to draft?

[polandprzem]

There will be an aplet on the site you can log in 30 minutes before the draft deadline.

And then if you go there you will see above the flags and one of the flags is red, and that is your flag - and you will know what number in draft you will have. You have a list of players and you have a list of choices you made and others plus there is a chat there so you can ask on it about more details.
How you draft? you click on players name and push the "draft" button.
That is it I guess

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Thanks.

[DieMrBond]

Is there enough interest in a 4th league? I didnt realise you didnt actually have to be online for the 'live' draft, that you can set your interests beforehand...

[Kori Ellis]

I added room for 2 more teams in the third league.

[DieMrBond]

Thanks Kori, I've signed up now. :cheer

[SlovenianGuy]

The last spot was waiting for me.

Last year I won in one of the Spurstalk free leagues. According to Spurs' history I can't repeat this year.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I know it's a lot to ask, but I don't suppose you could put the draft back to 5pm on Sat 14 Oct for the 1st league Kori? 2:30pm is 5:30am Sunday here, and I really wanted to do a live draft for once...

If not, fine, but I thought there was no harm in asking. :D

I only can't because there's a Spurs preseason home game and I have to leave my house at 5:30pm because they moved the start times this season to 7:00pm.

Sorry :(

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Do we get the draft order Saturday?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No probs. I'll take an alarm clock. I'm really looking forward to this because last year we had an auto draft, and although I got LeBron, Dwight Howard and CHauncey Billups, the rest of my team were initially scrubs.

So when we sign in to yahoo, will it offer a link directly to the draft page?

[polandprzem]

My first matchup is with some Princess?

I could handle the Princess I guess.

:)

[Kori Ellis]

Do we get the draft order Saturday?

30 minutes before the draft time, you will see a link to enter the Live Draft. When you enter the draft room, then you'll see the order.

I can't wait the draft :wakeup


:flag:

[one lucky]

How about a 3rd league. first 2 full.

[nkdlunch]

oh man, I'm late. 1 more league!

[lilmads]

Yeah I want to join one too... :(

[Kori Ellis]

There's 3 SpursTalk leagues already full. I am not going to start another one because I don't have time to be in/draft a fourth league.

If someone else wants to start one, just feel free to do so and post the link in this thread for people to sign up.

[Sense]

I can make one.....

[Kori Ellis]

I won't be able to be in either one of the drafts today so I just pre-ranked my players. Good luck to everyone at the drafts.

[polandprzem]

No fun with your predrafts :cuss:

[angel_luv]

Did you requests all those guys or did it just work out that way.

I used auto draft two separate times and only got three- five of the people I asked for.

[DieMrBond]

I ranked and excluded most of the players from the league, but it bumped up a few of the spurs players a little higher than i probably should of. I had Timmy ranked #1, Manu #10, Tmac #5, and Adam Morrison ~#25.

I have no idea how this thing works, i just ranked it on how much i liked the players! :) I don't care if i win or lose, its the first time i have ever played.

For some reason i did place Grant Hill fairly high tho, i figured hes got to have a good season sooner or later ... right? ... right?

I didnt rank Rasho @ all, so i have no idea how i got him. (I waived him for Jackie Butler after hearing he did well today)

Oh well, we shall see how i go!

I'm stoked about my team. ST league 2 better watch out. :lol

[kukjavel]

Does anyone know where I can start a salary cap league (preferably cheap or free)? I've been searching for a while and all I can find is the nba.com salary cap challenge. I played in one once and I really enjoyed that type of league but it was a few seasons ago and I can't remember what site it was. :depressed
