Yahoo Fantasy NBA Keeper League Trash Talk thread!

[nenjabin]

Hey guys Ive played on yahoo a few times and I'll be keen to join a league, if any 1 is keen please hit me up my yahoo address is cr12330@yahoo.com
In the past no one has ever talked much, it pretty boring so let start talking...

Welcome to the boards buddy Post a New Member Intro to get yourself started and known about the site. I'll PM you the league details, assuming you'll be active season long and into subsequent seasons?

I think that 3-5 is a good number. If its 5 and somebody flukes picking up young guys and has 5 of the top 10 players in a couple of seasons it can be a foregone conclusion who will win every year. So i guess i would say go with 4. So you could have 3 stars and a prospect.

Good point...but then I spose like the real NBA, depending upon how long we hang around, we'll all go through highs and slumps!

Just for some other information, I reckon past the first season, we'll set the draft order as last place to first, but snaking still. That sound alright? Just to try and give last placed teams a little boost

I think if we want to help out the last place teams it should probably be like NBA/AFL drafts 1-12 and then 1-12 again otherwise who ever came first is getting picks 12&13 which is probably a lot better than 1 & 24 when you consider the top 48 players will already be keepers. Just an idea

I was thinking that, but then wasn;'t sure if I'd be on the same page with everyone else Glad someone else mentioned it Probably the fairest way too, just because of less distance between picks.

Who else thinks it should be 4 or 5? These are the thoughts up for grabs right now. I like the idea of either, but leaning towards 5 personally since I figure you can lock away 2 young prospects and keep 3 stars, or load up with 4 or 5 starters and to hell with the future/hope to draft young early next year. Keep in mind, roster size is 14. (But is 14 ok or should we go full NBA style and go 15? and add a 3rd Utility?)

This is good, like I said, I don;t want it to be MY league, want it to be a group decision and input.

The way we're filling up, we should be drafting next week sometime. At the moment I'm looking squarely at the time currently set, Midnight Friday Night, as Sunday Morning sometime was likely the next choice, but I am not sure of even my own availability at that time on the 19th.

I think 4-5 is good. The positive with a lower number is you make the draft next year a bit more exciting with more players to choose from. The positive of higher numbers is there is more of an ownership feeling to your team because you get to keep more of it together and just have to build around the core with some extra pieces.

I would like to join but it's going to depend on the draft day set. I'm driving up to Coffs Harbour on the 19th-21st. Considering it is a long-term keeper league i would definetly want to be there for the draft. Pre-draft ordering just doesn't give it that same personal touch.

Well we currently have 8 of the 12 spots filled, and details have been sent to...at least 1 other, and there's been a reply here by a completely new member that I am yet to confirm is in or out. So given we are nearly full, I would be thinking we draft during the week next week, likely midnight Friday night, the 17th/18th. This gives enough time for everyone to know when the draft date/time is and we'll be set, as well as time between the start of the season to settle with rosters

Will send you details anyhow

Atleast 5 keepers, the more the better I say how about 6?

One thing I wanted to query in the league settings, as there's no maximum games or limits on acquisitions, it means those that are most active will likely be most successful, would you think about limiting the amount of moves per week to limit the daily traders who will pick up as many players as poss to max their chances.

Friday midnight is good for me, weekends not so much.

Agree with Draft, bugger the snaking off and give the lower places a chance. You watch the end of season tanking!!!

Hope yall like hairy arses, cos ya gunna be lookin at mine for years to come!!

cheers

How about keep as many or as little as you chose, one team may only want to keep 2 players, others may want 8. You just miss a round of the draft for each extra player, did that make sense?

Anyone wanna trade this years first round pick for my next year pick 1&2 :-)

[mully17]

Can we pre-determine the draft order so I can try to trade up, I've copped last pick in my last 2 drafts :-(
