Every think to yourself: "Hey, I should be a GM. I know talent, I know who to trade and who to keep.  I can run a team. That KP guy has nothing on me!" Well, now your's chance to prove it!

The recent activity of forming not one, but two Blazer's Edge teams over on www.courtrivals.com has reawakened my passion for simulation sports. Court Rivals is a fun and relatively low-time commitment activity, but it's left me wanting more. I've flirted around a bit with designing and coding my own basketball management simulation, but that would be a long-term hobby/project for sure.  In the meantime, I've found Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball. This game does a very solid job of emulating the GM and Coaching aspects of professional basketball, complete with Drafting, free agency, salary caps, etc, etc. Check it out (there's a free demo) at www.wolverinestudios.com

So, if there is enough interest around the group here, I'd like to form up a BEdge Basketball League using this game. We can all get a small taste of what life is like for KP - making trades, hiring and firing coaches, managing free agency and the salary cap and guiding our team to the title. Owning the game won't be required to run a team, but it will make it a bit easier. We'll start out with picking our team locations, names, colors, etc, then proceed to a dispersal draft to kickoff the league, then roll right into season 1.

Post here if you have some preliminary interest in bringing out your inner GM.  If there's enough interest, then I'll get roling on setting up the league and a website for it.
