I haven't done fantasy sports in a long long time... but...
Would anyone be interested? I have a few friends that might want to join...
Yes? Post here!
Alrighty!
We have the league in full gear. I sent an email to the people who made a comment below. I also included the members of NT who often participate in NBA discussions. Hopefully we'll have our full roster setup. The draft will take place the day after our final team is created. Sign up now!
The league can be found...

How does the draft work? Is it automatic?
The last fantasy league I was in they let you pick like your top 5 picks for each position and then randomly chose them according to who picked what.

Yeah, that's what we are doing...
here are the details:
Yahoo Fantasy NBA Rules wrote:When you are unable to draft for yourself, our computer system will make intelligent choices for you. This will happen if you signed up for an Autopick League or are not present for all or part of your Live Draft.
The autopick system first selects the highest-rated available player (based first on your pre-rankings and then our default rankings) that can fill one of the open starting positions on your roster.
After all of your starting positions are filled, the system determines a list of bench positions based on the number of starters at a position vs. the overall roster size. The system then selects the highest-rated available player (based first on your pre-rankings and then our default rankings) that can play one of the bench positions.
Given this system, it is important to remember that all starting positions are filled before any bench players are chosen. Additionally, keep in mind that the system will determine a maximum number of players to draft per position (starters plus bench) so that no roster ends up with an inordinate number of players at any single position (e.g., five point guards in a league that has a single starting point guard).
Regardless of your league type, it is wise for all coaches to pre-rank players in case they miss any part of the draft. To do this, just go to your team page and select Edit Pre-Rankings.
Also, please note that if you join a Public Autopick League, you may end up being placed in a live draft league in need of players. If this does happen, your team will still be autopicked by our computers.

Oh, why not. Haven't done the fantasy league thing before, and basketball would NOT be my first choice, but what the hell.
My team is, of course, the RAVING LIBERALS.

There are three or four QBs in Fantasy football that guarantee victory. I'm looking forward to fantasy basketball as it should be a bit more competitive.
Awesome name, Arlos.
If you're ever near Cleveland we'll have to get a Beer and argue politics, hehe.
