We prove that basket links, whose symmetrized Seifert form is congruent to the Cartan matrix of the simply laced Dynkin diagram A(n,) are isotopic to the torus link T(2, n +1). In addition, we provide examples of links, constructed by plumbing n positive Hopf bands the core curves of which intersect at most once, with symmetrized Seifert form congruent to the Cartan matrix A(n), that are not isotopic to T(2, n +1).
