Short version: put on your second apron and start cooking!
I'm not allowed to post links here, but all you need to google is something like e.g. "nba front office" fantasy game on freeforums.
TL/DR:
The idea behind NBA Front Office is to mimic the job of a real-life GM as much as possible. All rules of the CBA apply unless specified otherwise, and you have to negotiate contracts with a greedy agent.
That makes it the most complex fantasy league - you'll need to understand terms like July Moratorium, Qualifying Offer, or Repeater Tax.
(Which doesn't mean you must be a CBA expert from day 1. Au contraire: we created this league in 2012, and we still learn something new every day.)
At the same time, that makes it the simplest league - you don't need to memorize any imaginary salary caps or extension rules, because we replicate exactly what is covered by the media every day. You don't need to optimize your team composition for any specific scoring format, because everything we do has the single goal of making the league 100% realistic and parallel to the real-life NBA. Need proof? Look how short the rules are!
By now we've grown to become a unique community: some GM's write really cool blogs, we occasionally share some laughs as a FB group or on Discord, track our roots on a map, and celebrate every historical moment with epic graphics! Plus if you aren't quite sure when to renounce your TPE or how to comply with the Stepien rule, you can choose to start as an Assistant GM for a while!
