I will take the Clippers! Thanks for the invite guys. I didn't realize the game was so realistic. Did the previous owner get kicked out for racist comments?
So, where do I begin?

Andrew, you can start by avoiding trading Sprewell to anyone. He is one of 7 or 8 elite potential guys. Secondly, the last wave of free agency is tonight at 5:00. Nothing but scraps left but if you need anything on the cheap, this is the round to get it. Thirdly, training camp is due Monday. Most of us let the computer choose where to focus but if you'd like to key in on one or two areas for a player where he has high potential then look into doing the manual process. Lastly, trade me Sprewell. Just seeing if you were paying attention. Good luck.

You can start with checking out your team here: pbsl.ijbl.net. You can click there and see who's on your team, their current ratings and their potential, as well as your cap situation and stats. Clicking on each players' name will send you to a player page so you can see stat breakdowns by season for that respective player.
Then head over to the newbie guides in this thread: fbbsimleague.proboards.com/thread/40/fbb-software-info-quick-guide . That should give you some insight as to what each number/category is and some basics on setting up a depth chart (more on that later) and how the game works. As tray said, we are currently in the offseason with Free Agency wrapping up tonight and Training Camp tomorrow. To send in any FA bids, you can send a PM to DarthVegito and he will input them for you into the game. Results will be posted here: fbbsimleague.proboards.com/thread/1661/1996-rfa-remaining-season-schedule.
I mentioned depth charts (DCs) earlier, and you won't have to worry about this just yet (at least not until Tuesday). Depth Charts are where you set up your lineups, minutes, eligible positions for players... essentially the bulk of what makes the season exciting. Think of it like chess in that every move/change you make to your DC will impact all facets of your game. You can find out the DC Formatting here: fbbsimleague.proboards.com/thread/20/depth-chart-format. I would also recommend looking through old DCs posted by former Clippers GM (gmessi) just to get an idea. OR you could ask Darth for your CPU-recommended DC to start with and then tinkering from there. You can find old DCs here: fbbsimleague.proboards.com/board/8/depth-charts.
These are just some basics, but should be enough to give you a good head start on getting ready for the season. Be aware that your players' ratings that you see now will most likely be changing during Training Camp (for better or for worse). Since you are pretty new to this, I would recommend going "CPU-Recommended" for TC to start off with... just until you have a better understanding of how everything in the game works. But if you are feeling daring and want to submit a custom Training Camp, you can do so in this thread here: fbbsimleague.proboards.com/thread/1692/1996-training-thread-monday-august.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

If you get a trade offer that includes 7 points, be suspicious.
