There was some interest in doing a fantasy basketball league this year. I will be willing to run it if there is enough interest, and if Mofo is okay with my boys being involved. If you are interested just respond and PM me your email address.
I wanted to get this started a little early because it has been a long time since I have done basketball, so I was thinking we could talk through some of the settings for our first year. I am going to paste a copy of Yahoo’s standard rules below. At first glance I think I would like to go with a bit smaller roster. I was thinking 5 starters, 3 utility, 4 bench. Let me know what you guys think of that and anything else that looks wonky.
Probably looking at a draft the weekend of Oct 5 and 6. I know this gives us a lot of time, but I also know once a discussion starts where there is some disagreement it can take a minute to work through.
