We have 2 openings for a double season progressive that started with the 1967/68 & 1968/69 seasons, the first two years of the ABA. We will soon be starting season 20,2007/08 & 2008/09. There are only 4 seasons left in the life of the league.We are currently posting keepers, season 19 has 28 games (14 days) left. The draft will take place after 2 replacement owners are found, all keepers are posted and I have completed the available player list. Each season you will be able to select which of 2 seasons you want to use for each of your players (assuming they are active both seasons). The upcoming season (20) you may use 2007/08 or 2008/09, the following season (20) you will be able to use 2009/100 or 2010/11 etc.
                 
Information on the teams available is posted below. I will be posting a preliminary list of available players (2007/08 and1 2008/09 Rookies plus players not drafted in prior seasons) in the next week in the league's private forum.
Drafts for the remaining 4 seasons in the league's life starting with 2007/08 and 2008/09 running through 2013/14 and 2014/15 will all be very deep and include many of todays star players-join now to see how the current stars perform !!
        
                 
No rookies, no WW. Trades of players OK and draft picks one season in advance only.
                 
Drafts subsequent to the initial draft will be in inverse order of regular season record, with the tiebreaker being total point differential (points scored less points allowed) with the team with the worse point differential drafting earlier. However, as an anti-tanking provision for the 1st round only there will be a weighted lottery among the 6 teams with the worst record for the first 6 draft positions. The same tiebreaker will be used for these positions.
                 
Since this is a progressive league I do request that you not sign up unless you expect to be able to participate for the remaining 4 seasons.
                 
If interested please sign up below and you will be given temporary access to the league's private forum. If you want one of the teams, you will need to post a keeper list for season 18 as soon as possible after you have reviewed the team's roster and decided which players to keep.

There is a 6 team lottery for the first 6 positions in the draft. The Thrillers will likely qualify, the Bulls likely will not.

There is an opportunity to see (and draft some of) all the great rookies who debut in the NBA from 2007/08 through 2014/15 in this league's last 4 seasons !!

At the end of the 4 seasons I will give $10 in gift certificates (1 free season!) to the owner of these 2 teams who achieves the best W/L Pct. for the 4 seasons.

The gift certificate is predicated on owners remaining in the league for all of the last 4 seasons.

In this season's draft class the only superstar is Kevin Durant, but there are numerous very good players such as Marc Gasol, Jeff Green, Al Horford, Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry, Joakim Noah, Luis Scola and Russell Westbrook.

Each of these 2 teams will be able to draft one of these players and the Rapid City team will have  chance to get Durant.
