[Knicksboy34Participant]

[Lemons4LifeParticipant]

I’ll join also!!!!!!!!!!

[knicksfreakParticipant]

Yeah sounds good. It will be interesting to do with other NBA fanatics. Especially after seeing how crazy the collaborative mock draft and trades were.

[birdman113]

[Knicksboy34Participant]

you dont pick a team…were doing a fantasy draft

[birdman113]

oh ive never done fantasy b-ball before but i did pretty good in the collaborative mock.

[mbunner23Participant]

I’m in if you need more.

[mercryParticipant]

im in?!!!!!

[Knicksboy34Participant]

ok…so far we have like 11 people

[birdman113]

am i in the western ot eastern division?

[Knicksboy34Participant]

once we get enough people, we will pick

[Mr. BasketballParticipant]

I’m in! that makes 12.

[the_truth34Participant]

[Knicksboy34Participant]

We will probably have the Draft after FA dies down

[birdman113]

how are you going to choose where people pick?

[Knicksboy34Participant]

well, good question. umm well i want 1st pick so….

Ill probab to a pick out the hat or something like pick a number between 1 and 10

[birdman113]

can i have 2 teams if the teams dont get filled out?

[Knicksboy34Participant]

no. you can have 12 players and 3 sub players

[birdman113]

okaY.

[j1232eParticipant]

Happy 4th I’ll join.

[j1232eParticipant]

Are you alright? It looks your in pain!

[maravich44Participant]

I would like to do it. Count me in!

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

The league can’t be a league without me. I’m in

[knicksfan7Participant]

I am sooooo in. Looks like it’s at 16 max right now, so I would make 17. I think it would be a great idea to have 30 teams b/c that’s 1 owner a team. I know it’s a fantasy draft, but I would rather have more trades than having good players on the waiver wire, especially if we’re doing a salary cap. Just a suggestion. Knicksboy34 definitely make a site for this.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

yea, we could have a wavier wire and everything.

[knicksfan7Participant]

Make the Cap $60 (a little bit higher than today’s cap), and if we have 30 ppl every1’s team name would be an NBA Team to make it easy, but we draft players who don’t play for the team we own. What’s your email address Knicksboy34???

[Knicksboy34Participant]

[email protected]

[knicksfan7Participant]

If you want in the league you have to do a couple of things first.
1) Send an email to me at [email protected]
In that email give me your name, your favorite team, if you have a facebook, aim, or both, and any suggestions you want to add.
2) The league is going to be hopefully 30 people each person owns an NBA Team, but the team you are isn’t going to be the roster that team has, you draft the players with a cap. Example your team can be the Memphis Grizzlies, and be $30 million over the cap. Any questions just send it to my email. Team names come at a first come, first serve basis.

I hope to receive emails from everyone who has already posted.

[knicksfan7Participant]

Also tell me your account name on this site, thx

[knicksfan7Participant]

Knicksboy34 is the New York Knicks in the league.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

with 1st pick…

[knicksfan7Participant]

that greedy????? It is your league, so yeah I am not going to argue that. Fine.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

we gotta find a way to give people picks…

[birdman113]

did you get my email?

[knicksfan7Participant]

Birdman113 is the Portland Trail Blazers picking 24th. This is not finalized just for now until we can get more people to make a more concrete decision.

[birdman113]

whatever ill survive with the 24th pick.

[knicksfan7Participant]

Golden State Warriors with the 7th pick. I think my guy will be around at 7, I sound like a GM already lol.

Note: Pre-draft picks are allowed to be traded, so don’t worry if you’re near the bottom.

[karanraiParticipant]

lemme get in on this… and lemme get my philly 76ers lol

note to self: no signing PF/C to 5 yr 85 mill deals after theyre comin off of knee surgery…

[maravich44Participant]

I’ll be Chicago Bulls

[knicksfan7Participant]

I slotted you in as the Chicago Bulls. I just need you to send me an email at [email protected]. In that email give me your (real name and account name) name, your favorite team, if you have a facebook, aim, or both, and any suggestions you want to add. Thanks appreciate it.

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

If I choose the T-Wolves don’t you think I should get 4 first round picks :D?

[knicksfan7Participant]

The more I think about it the more complex this league becomes, their really is no simple way. Basically a league like this would be doing like an NBA2k10 draft with all the players on xbox360live and we play the season throughout is what this league is like the more I think about it. It will take a lot of effort from every1 in order to make this a successful league.

[birdman113]

im in right you didnt list me?

[mercryParticipant]

what about the following system?! the team having the first pick, will pick again at 60. the team with pick 30, gets 31 too. so there is a better balance between teams. the team with pick 30 could get also the draftpick 1, which would be probablt griffin?!

[j1232eParticipant]

The Utah Jazz! with the 20th pick.

[j1232eParticipant]

the easiest way would to go to yahoo.com create a league and set up a day and time to draft. Probably cant do this for at least another month though.

[knicksfan7Participant]

is the max is 20 teams I believe, I do not think you can have 30 teams.

[karanraiParticipant]

make sure that user birdman is listed with a team… birdman u gotta email knicksfan4life with ur team and stuff

i think this would work.. itd b hard but itd work…

hmmmm UNLESS… some1 with 2k9 or sumtin takes our raft results, inputs them into a season, sims the season n reports back? hmmm? possibilities?

[birdman113]

i did Email him.

[knicksfan7Participant]

The reason why you’re not listed on that list is b/c you’re already in the league. That list is for people who have posted, but do not yet have a team.

[birdman113]

okay.

[knicksfan7Participant]

Everyone who has chosen a team, gets the team roster they have chosen to start. In addition to that they get all the players contracts. After that they can tinker with the roster by making trades. Also, when the NBA Schedules come out the team you are is the schedule you take. With that you match-up head to head against the team that team plays on that day. Though say you make a trade that hasn’t been actually made in reality, you would take their stats for your team, and not count the stats for the players you got rid of. We’ll use the following categories Pts, Ast, Reb, Stl, Blk, 3PTM, FG%, FT%. So in a head to head matchup the team who scores more points gets the win, but they can be outscored in the other 7 categories so they would be after 1-0 with 1 point, while there opponent would be 0-1 but with 7 points. I will need your suggestions, thank you all.

[karanraiParticipant]

interesting… bout trades tho… how r we makin them work with the cap again? n r we havin cap same a sNBA? or a lil higher? n roster SIZE… mayb extend it by 2 or 3 so we can pick up some rookie FAs/D-leaguers mayb?

also… when making trades will we have to do salaries bein equal like straight0up… or the NBA rule where a difference in salaries is allowed as long as its a certain percentage (percentage slippin my mind 25% mayb?)

[Mr. BasketballParticipant]

i call the clippers!

[knicksfan7Participant]

Clippers, Send me an email and you get to have the Clippers.

[knicksfan7Participant]

we do the same salary cap or $60 million, and we also have a 6 round draft to draft D-Leaguers, who could be called up if some1 gets hurt and then has an impact. Or drafting players who are not on a team in August or whenever, (ie Stephon Marbury if he’s not signed).

[knicksfan7Participant]

Do this past year’s NBA 1st round, and the teams with multiple picks just replace the rights to that pick with the team who had original ownership. So it would go.

1. Los Angeles Clippers- Clippers
2. Memphis Grizzlies
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
4. Sacramento Kings
5. Washington Wizards
6. Minnesota Timberwolves
7. Golden State Warriors- Knicksfan4life71390
8. New York Knicks- Knicksboy34
9. Toronto Raptors
10. Milwaukee Bucks
11. New Jersey Nets
12. Charlotte Bobcats
13. Indiana Pacers
14. Phoenix Suns
15. Detroit Pistons

If all of you guys decide to join it would make the number of people 19. Also I will need you guys to send me an email, where I have typed out my info in a previous post. Thanks I think this will be a very successful league.

[knicksfan7Participant]

So Far we have 8 teams. Come on people this is going to be a very exciting league.

[maravich44Participant]

A couple of thoughts/questions. My understanding is we are playing for this season only with no exchange of draft choices possible. Is this correct? It would be really cool if we could incorporate the draft into this, though it would be very difficult. If we do this next year, will trades made still be in effect or will we inherit the 2010 team as it actually is? Just to get this straight in the above scenario, a team could be 1-0, butdown 6 points if 8 categories are used. How will winner be determine? Win loss record or points?

This will be a lot of fun and I’m hoping the best posters get onboard to make this interesting!

What can we play for to make it interesting other than bragging rights??????

[Knicksboy34Participant]

OK…Here are the Rules….no changing

15 Round Draft
70 Mil Cap (no going over the cap)
Draft Trades allowed
Team you pick is what division

[knicksfan7Participant]

That’s all fine, but is this going to be a roto league, a points league, a head to head league or what. Also, if the team you pick is the division you’re in that means we’ll be following an NBA Schedule, but it would be easier with the team’s current rosters, especially with this year being a huge year for free agency teams can make decisions on who to sign long term. On that Teams can only give out 1 max to there own, and 1 max contract to some1 not on there team. So if some1 is the Cavs they can give LBJ a 7year/140mil deal starting in 2010-11.

[knicksfan7Participant]

is that 15 rounds 30 teams, that’s 450 players and taking the salary cap into affect would be extremely time consuming for people. That is why I suggested we take on the team’s roster.

[maravich44Participant]

We need to find a free website to record stats. This could be an issue as most aren’t designed with our requirements in mind. In the old days, we diod a traditional roto league and scored it manually. Terribly time-consuming. If we can’t find a free website, we have to keep it simple.

[knicksfan7Participant]

maravich44 is right. The idea is great, but it is unlikely their is a website that could support our league.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

15 rounds…20 teams….

[knicksfan7Participant]

everyone check this link out http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybasketball/story/11033238
I believe this is the way we’ll have to go.

[knicksfan7Participant]

though this would prob take out the salary cap.

[karanraiParticipant]

that seems like a good idea… they have a draft… we’d all hav to meet in a chat room or sumtin to dot hat way tho…

[Knicksboy34Participant]

We should have a cap….this idea would be lame with out a cap….

[maravich44Participant]

I think a cap would be very nice, but isn’t a deal breaker. We have to decide soon if this is a one shot deal or if we continue next year from where we leave off.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

listen….this Fantasy draft thing would be very lame without a cap…. i wanna use cap rules…

[maravich44Participant]

Can you find a website that allows us to do 30 teams with cap? If so, then we’ll do a cap if you say so.

[karanraiParticipant]

so we doin this or whattttt lol

[kaceyParticipant]

If you can find a website that offers a 30 team league and if you can get 30 people that will be committed to the league, then I would join.

How many people have officially joined so far, as in e-mailed all their info to you?

I would want the Mavericks if I joined, but it really wouldn’t matter if I didn’t get them.

[karanraiParticipant]

dude, r u gettin this thing together man? bec i think lots of us would b in
