    I've been countin down the days until Yahoo makes the fantasy NBA available. I'm already in one league with some friends of mine with a $15 entry fee, would like to do two though....Was wonderin if I made a league for BBS posters, would yall join? I know the NBA really, really well and am looking for other competitive players. There's an option on yahoo to join a casual or competitive league, but even if you do competitive league, the people rarely ever talk, trade very much, or are always involved. With BBS posters, I know there would be plenty of laughter and smart managers. I always have my roster set and make plenty of posts on the message board. I'm sure Yahoo wil be making the NBA leagues available anyday now, so are there any competitive people who know their stuff that would wanna join?

    My aim sn is the same as my username here.

    You sound like a pretty hardcore/die-hard fantasy bballer...I'm competitive but I like to keep things relaxed as well. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with you...I haven't been playing yahoo for years and years like other people because in the past I liked smallworld (that is, until sportingnews took over and ruined it). Anyhow, I figure we have quite a while left until leagues begin, so more people will probably want to join in due time.

    Ouch, though I probably shouldn't argue with that. I'm still at best a young veteran in Yahoo fantasy, so I'm sure your experience will prove to be invaluable. I have the same problem though...last year I checked my teams several times a day too, and needless to say, my grades also suffered.

    btw, what year are you and where do you go? I just finished my first year at UT Austin.

    Do you guys know the league pretty well? I don't mean jsut the best players, but good enough to draft for around 13 rounds? I'll be contacting all of yall as soon as Fantasy Basketball opens up.

    Im fairly good about the NBA. But I will have to study up if this going to get competitive.

    I want it to be competitive as possible please, so I'd like fans who are just casual to think twice about joining it. I was plannin on it being free, but if yall want you can send in $15 to me, I'll put it in a stash, and then I'll send the prizes back to the return addressed... We can discuss that later when and if we end up having enough BBS'ers who join the league. Most likely, it will be competitive but free....I'll contact who's expressed desire of joining if you provide me an email address or AIM screen name. I'll be making it as soon as Yahoo makes it available. Glad to hear yall wanna join.

    Either way is OK.

    $ might keep people in for the full season, otherwise league fails.
