Fantasy Basketball

I have concluded that fantasy basketball is just not as fun as fantasy football. This is the second time I have played fantasy basketball and I lost interest both years midway through. Fantasy football I have had teams 6 of the last 7 years and multiple teams a few of those. The decline of one-RB featured teams made fantasy football a little less appealing but there is still enough dimensions to make it fun. Having daily points and weekly games makes it much less anti-climactic. Being a league with 5 total teams probably also diminishes the effect. Losing 11 players over extensive periods of time during the season hurts, too. It also prompts you to write posts like this to your fellow leaguers:

AH MAH GAHD! TRADE DEADLINE APPROACHING! ALL PLAYERS MUST GO!

WE HAVE RECEIVED EXTRA SUPER STARS FROM THE FACTORY AND WE MUST SELL ALL PLAYERS AT WHOLESALE PRICES!

WE PASS THE SAVINGS ON TO YOU! ACT NOW AND YOU COULD SNAG A BRANDON ROY FOR ONLY A BARON DAVIS!!!! CHRIS PAUL? GERALD WALLACE? MORE LIKE CHRIS ANDERSON AND GERALD GREEN!!

IF YOU HAVE ANY PLAYERS YOU FEAR WILL SOON GO OUT WITH SEASON ENDING INJURIES SHIP THEM HERE!

HELL! PICK UP AMARE AND TRADE HIM TO ME! ZACH RANDOLPH WILL PUNCH HIS RETINA BACK IN TO PLACE!

HURRY HURRY HURRY! THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT AFTER THE TRADE DEADLINE (as will this team)

FYI: Players losing significant time to injuries this season: Elton Brand, Jose Calderon, Baron Davis, Carmelo Anthony, Gerald Wallace, Zach Randolph, Carlos Boozer, Al Jefferson (the day after trading for him), Tracy McGrady (within a week of trading for him), Andris Biedrins, and Jameer Nelson... That I can think of off the top of my head.

A league with more people would be more fun, when every team has 3 super stars, if you lose 2 or potentially even 1 (see: Jefferson, Al) you're kind of SOL.
