Anyone from our boards interested in joining? I’ll be giving higher priority to our fellow Magic posters and people who previously played in A, B, or C League.

The draft legit takes 2-4 weeks to complete. It’s very fun and very friendly and competitive, but it’s a long draft and you need to at least set your lineups during the whole year, and being active year-round is hugely appreciated. So keep that in mind before you just want to instantly say yes.

I’m trying to wait until the first Magic Preseason game is over before I give up on finding two more people. I think the first Preseason game will bring a lot of activity back on these boards, and there’ll be two people who will see this league and want in. If not, we’d have to go for a 12 team league then.

Or.. we can go as a 12 team league right now.. and we’ll even start the draft tonight!!

Considering that Fantasy Leagues are usually 12 teams instead of 14 teams, this is nothing bad at all. Are you guys cool with sticking to 12 teams and starting the draft already? :nod:

I''m fine with 12 or 14. It just means that everyone else needs to be ok with finishing in 2nd-12th or 2nd-14th place. :D

Id have to be out if 12.
If you can find only one person then you can throw me out and replace me and go with 12 np.
Just not enough of grind through scrubs on waivers for me.Im losing intrest in such leagues pretty easly
Thats why I was waiting but it looked promising as we were 12 with me so I decided to hop in but I guess I decided to early.
I know its same story with me each year and Im sorry for that but 14 was lowest I could go
When we had 18 I was ok
16 I was bitching but I forced adding spots/rounds and played then it shrink to 14 I said ok...but sry 12 no can do.
14 last year was barely interesting to me and 12 is a killer.

No worries at all, I understand. We'll keep an eye out for 1 more in the next couple days!

I would love to join if there is still an open spot. I haven't been as active as lately on the boards, but I'm really looking forward to this year and plan on being more active. When it comes to Fantasy Basketball I'm always extremely active.

The 2nd and 3rd pick were already a little bit unexpected for me. But Anthony Davis is clearly being seen as an All-NBA 1st Teamer to everyone around the league. And KAT has zero weak areas in fantasy (which is like only 3-4 players in fantasy).

I think Isaac and Bamba having some similarities to Davis is very nice to think about, haha

My top-4 are interchangeable, and the Jimmy Butler developments & KAT's extension, pretty much made him a no-brainer for me @3... I would have strongly considered KAT @ 2!
