I would definitely be easier to do a keeper league on NBA, but I don't think doing a keeper league on yahoo would be very hard either. In looking around the NBA one, it's hard to tell exactly how it would work if you aren't in a league at the moment. It does look more complicated, and less easy to navigate. If we use Yahoo, one thing I might do is set up a league for myself with a replica team of my yahoo team, so i can get live scoring of my team year round.

OK, I did a test league on NBA to figure out exactly what it's like. To answer your question, they do not send emails with trade proposals, etc. The draft is nice, with stats right there for you to see of the players as you draft them. My observations: It's not very easy to make roster changes. The commissioner has TONS of control (over every little detail) compared to the regular player. I'm not sure I would want anyone to have that kind of power--even myself--in the name of fair play. The live scoring is awesome, and there are all sorts of cool little features we could do if we wanted to. Like even a salary cap if we wanted. Auction waivers. It would take some time to learn the system on NBA. It is a lot harder to navigate NBA, but the features that they do have are way better. That would be both the biggest pro and con in my opinion. But overall, I don't think that the great pros outweigh the nice simplicity of Yahoo. What do you think?

In my experience, Yahoo is just the best.

I'm down with whatever.

I'll do whatever as well.

I think it would be fun to experiment with NBA.com, and I probably will. However, for a keeper league here, I'd probably keep up with it better if we used Yahoo. I don't think all those features are neccessary. Maybe it'd be better just to keep it simple.

Yahoo it is then. I think that's probably the best way to go. I'm gonna make a duplicate team on NBA though, that way I get live scoring all year.

Make sure you sign up if you haven't yet, there's only 4 spots left for teams.

You mean a duplicate league? Fill me in if you do, I want stats too

Futan · 09-25-2006, 02:29 PM

I signed up. Was waiting to find out which league we were using.

ya, me too.

**Matt4JC** · 09-29-2006, 02:04 PM

2 spots left.

OK, the duplicate league is set up on NBA's Ultimate Fantasy Commisioner.

The League name is CGR, and password is guitar. If you can't find a way to join it, I might need to actually invite you. In order to do that, I need email addresses of whoever wants live stats on the duplicate league.

Peace

I'm in...you gon't need to invite anyone. When you guys sign up, just go to the regular join league, and then search CGR in the league name box. All you need to do is click on the name, then claim your spot.

OH MY GOODNEES! There's a TON of stats & features in here. WOW.
It may not be easy to learn, but this is sweet! After looking @ this I'd consider doing our league on NBA.com...It's reallly nice. very cool.
