Ok, I raised the number of teams. But due to the fact that I wanted 4 divisions, I raised the number to 24, and I think we should cap it there. I like the number because it will do well to approximate an actual NBA roster. Some issues:

* I will use a randomizer to assign draft order. Seems to be the best way--so don't take what you see today as the final order.

* Because the league is large, it will probably be impossible to do a live online draft. The best is obviously an auto-pick draft, but I'm wondering if that is too boring. They have an email option so that the draft is done that way, and after a certain time (usually 24 hours), you get skipped. After being skipped twice, you go to auto-picking. I can change virtually anything, so we can have an email draft with 12 hours to pick, and after missing one pick, you automatically go to auto-drafting.

* Right now, the date of the draft is October 15th. I will probably have to move that up to AT LEAST a week earlier, if not the week before that. What says everybody?

* THERE ARE 2 SPOTS LEFT IN THE LEAGUE, SO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO GET IT, CAN.

We now have 24 teams, and I know for a fact that there are at least 3 more people that wanted in.

Another option would be to create two leagues of 16 teams each. (Personally, I like the bigger league because it's more strategic, but that's just me)

Like I said, there are 3 more (2 posting on this thread and another that got to me too late by PM) that didn't make it. To accomodate, we can open it up to 28 teams, but I'm not sure that is an option that everyone would like. Any thoughts?

I agree with this. I think it's more fun to try to snag unexpected talent.

I appear to have the 75th pick in the draft.

I'm too late, apparently.

If possible, I'd love to get in on this.

I'm sure there's still a few people that would like to try it out, I know 2 right now, including you Wasted, that are ready to give me their emails, and 1 or 2 more from the first page of this thread who have yet to give me an email, so we have other people interested.

I'm all for it, but the biggest question is if everyone wants a fantasy league that is almost as big as the real NBA?

Of course!

I vote yes. Maybe 32 teams?

30 is the highest number. 28 would give us 4 divisions of 7 teams each, and 30 teams would give us 6 divisions of 5 teams each.

Okay, I was thinking 8 divisions of 4, like football. 28 or 30 sounds good to me.
