@altodevil86 cant make it.
NBA ESPN Fantasy League 2017-18
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Won't it be evening in UK?
Current time is fine actually, sorry, didn't realise it had changed from 9pm est.
@OB you okay teaming up with someone? I feel really bad for sending the wrong person the email and leaving you out.
Is this an auto draft or a proper draft? I’m a newbie when it comes to NBA so leave some big names for me! 
So just to confirm the time is 0930 EST which is 1430 BST.
Never played a NBA fantasy league before, I gotta check how the points system works!
Its a proper draft. But you can choose the system to draft for you in which case it becomes an auto draft for you. Like if you dont show up then it becomes an auto draft.Is this an auto draft or a proper draft? I’m a newbie when it comes to NBA so leave some big names for me!
Yes.
Just check the league settings.
Any reason for Double-doubles as opposed to turnovers?
Its an added category to think about while drafting. Plus every single player commits TO.
YOU CAN NOW CHECK YOUR DRAFT RANKING by logging in.
For first timers, log into your ESPN account, click on the league and then click on the "LEAGUE" tab. Then it should say "YOUR LEAGUE IS DRAFTING NOW". Click on the link and you are in. Make sure your flash player is updated otherwise it wont open.
You have 60 SECONDS per pick so keep that in mind.

It doesn't say how many points for each category, is it 1 point?
No its just like in reality. Like if a player on your team scores 30 points, then you accumulate 30 points. At the end of the week, between two players, the ones with the highest numbers in their category wins.
Seems my team is fairly decent, thoughts?
All teams are gonna be stacked in this.
You have 3 Spurs starters. The problem with drafting Spurs' players is Pop rests them too often.Seems my team is fairly decent, thoughts?
Also @Paz when I said I ll trade Harden I didnt mean straight up for Butler. I aint trading my 1st round pick for your 3rd round pick. It has to be a two for one or three for one if you want Harden.
Yes noted, I'm trying to fiddle my way around it. I'm hypothetically open to it, but that leaves a hole in my roster and someone needs to trade me thereafter to fill up my roster? Is that how it works?
No you can pick up anyone from the players that havent been drafted yet.
Why would you trade Harden away? He's a fantasy dream.
ahh got it!!
stay out of this!
Yes but if I trade my first pick to get a 2nd and 3th round pick, it improves my team overall.
stay out of this!
Who ever has Ben Simmons, who do you want for him?
Remember to set your teams folks.
Like everyday!
Yes where it says set your lineup, you can click on each day for the week and set your team for the whole week at once. Then make changes based on injuries, suspensions and form. When your player is injured a red INJ will appear next to their name. You can click on the little paper thing to read info regarding performances, injuries etc. If everyone knows this already sorry for wasting a post.
He looked really good last night, playing point forward a lot and you laughed at me for taking him so high
4-4-1 in my first week. Decent enough start.
I'm clearly flopping here
Had internet issues last week and couldn't set my team because the ESPN fantasy app on mobile is complete garbage. I don't know if Disney is a Redcafe sponsor but we should definitely consider switching to Yahoo.
Next year we will do Yahoo.
I'm actually quite happy with my team, and let stat I am doing pretty well. Just been unlucky with matchups.
Looks like only 3 out of the 8 people are setting lineups everyday and actually playing.
I think the format sucks. The league matches are too many when only the knockouts count. Ideally there should only be 2 round of league matches followed by best of 3-week knockouts
Dont think there is an option like that. But in order to get to the knockout rounds you need to do well in regular season.
yeah but more or less, we already know who is making the knockouts. It makes the rest of league pretty meaningless
