ENWorld Fantasy Basketball IS HERE!!! (league now filled)

[The Sigil]

Hmm... no more nibbles, apparently. Would it bother anyone at this point if I invited a couple of friends to join our Fantasy Basketball club? We need to get the draft started sooner rather than later, I think.

I'd be awfully tempted to just post on the main discussion board and let the topic be moved back here. Alot more people would notice it. But I have no objections.

Chief Sleep reuterje is onboard (Don't know who that is).

Now only 1 spot left!!!

I don't mind if you bring along a friend Sig, go right ahead! Though I also don't think we should have a problem finding one measley person here, could we??

C'mon basketball fans! Where are you!?

Okay, the league is filled. Everyone say "hi" to a couple of my friends from my sim league, Jeremy (Chief Sleep) and Brian (Red Star) - they've been butting heads in both my and other sim leagues for probably upwards of 30 seasons now, so they're old rivals. I'll be running the "lottery" to determine draft position via the die roller shortly; each of you should receive 11 e-mails (this is to make sure the lottery process is transparent; if you don't care, you can just toss the e-mails). As a reminder, each time a team is selected, that team will be dropped from alphabetical order. I will be starting a new thread for the "offline draft" picks to be entered in shortly, and will link it here.

ALPHABETICAL BY TEAM:
1 - BS's Flagrant Fouls
2 - Chief Sleep
3 - Dwarven Stormhammers
4 - The Frost Mages
5 - Gelatinous Cubes
6 - JC/DC
7 - Mistwell Maulers
8 - Okamis
9 - Red Star
10 - Skyhawks
11 - Tokyo Samurai
12 - Wampanoag Lions

Wow, offline draft huh... That's going to make this interesting but I have a feeling it’s going to get real ugly for me...

FYI: I have the other thread subscribed too.

 

[LeapingShark]

Well, when in doubt you can always revert to the Yahoo pre-rankings for inspiration. It's not perfect, but it won't leave you completely naked.

I was thinking of keeping a copy of it here, and updating it with the picks as they are selected, so that everybody at least has one simple way of seeing which players are still available.

Looking to trade "trade rights" up/down?

Draft Day Trade?
I'd be willing to trade away my 1st round pick spot, for anybody else's 2nd & 3rd round pick spots.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm set.

Thanks boss, I apprcate that.

[Last Update - Tokyo Samurai's #3 pick overall]

Wow, I I'm rather shocked that he went with Kirilenko, I was rather hoping that would be my first round pick...

Someone do me a favor and take Kobe, I don't want him.
