I am running a Yahoo Fantasy Basketball league for the SDMB. Signups are limited to 16 teams.

FYI, I’m in. Haven’t done Fantasy Hoops before, so I figure what the hell. I’m not the most diehard NBA fan, prefer NCAA personally, but I do likes me some stats and highlighs. Heh. ---

I’m in, to defend my reigning SDMB championship. Admittedly, though, last year’s basketball league was about half the size and my team was completely stacked 😃 I generally really like the big/deep leagues that we come up with, though. Do we have to do TO? I HATE negative counting categories 😛 No big, though. ---

No we can change around the settings up until draft night. I am also only showing two people besides me that have signed up. One of you either haven’t signed up or made a mistake in doing so. ---

I was still signing up as I posted, sorry. Am in now. ---

I’m in. But I already know I won’t be at the draft. Going to be having a big (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner that night. Not a big deal. ---

Well we are up to 5 people. It would be great if we could get at least 8 or so. ---

Don’t mind if I do. ---

8 days away from the draft. We could still use 2 more teams. ---

I’ve made some of the changes that people have requested. We are only 3 days away from the draft and really could use one more player to round the league out at 8 members. ---

Is there still room? I won’t be able to sign up until afterwork though. Fantasy sports sites are blocked at work. ---

Ayup, you’ll be fine unless we get some unprecedented rush during the day. ---
