Here is an example of a post that needs 5 stars.

Thank you kindly - I was dreading the update today and figured it would be around 10% as some of my guys didn't budge at all. All of a sudden with some half decent planning you can get a lot of bang for your buck these days.

Thanks, isn't 6 balls even better than 5 stars? ;-)

You can, and all of your competitors can as well. Bye bye young players on high-level teams.


NEVER!! I pride myself on my rosters average age... only if you are a local are you allowed to rot in my squad! But I guess if market values are never destined to reach their old dizzy heights then its irrelevant.

It's clear that every BB player wants to join Lebron,wade and Bosh in Miami

Yeah, I noticed the salary dive. Just great, just when I thought the competition in my league might get around to dumping salary... And I still can't outbid them on the big stars. But if I can survive the season, maybe my slimmer payroll will get net me a big time player next season!

Thanks for doing the math for us. I was trying to come up with that coefficient myself except that I ran out of fingers when I was counting up the salaries.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

According to a set of 33 player samples (ages 26-28, no training) I collected off the transfer list:

old: $ 1000 000 -> new: $ 870 849 decrease: -$ 129 151 / -12,92%
old: $ 750 000 -> new: $ 655 021 decrease: -$ 94 979 / -12,66%
old: $ 500 000 -> new: $ 438 456 decrease: -$ 61 544 / -12,31%
old: $ 250 000 -> new: $ 220 754 decrease: -$ 29 246 / -11,70%
old: $ 100 000 -> new: $ 89 115 decrease: -$ 10 885 / -10,88%
old: $ 50 000 -> new: $ 44 868 decrease: -$ 5 132 / -10,26%
old: $ 25 000 -> new: $ 22 590 decrease: -$ 2 410 / -9,64%
old: $ 10 000 -> new: $ 9 119 decrease: -$ 881 / -8,81%
old: $ 5 000 -> new: $ 4 591 decrease: -$ 409 / -8,17%
old: $ 2 500 -> new: $ 2 312 decrease: -$ 188 / -7,53%
old: $ 1 000 -> new: $ 933 decrease: -$ 67 / -6,68%

..so the decrease at the top end is around 12% whereas the decrease at the bottom end is around 7%.

The salary inflation coefficient for season 14 is 0.99197, finally reaching new all-time lows. So to compare last season's salaries to this season as in the table above one needs to combine the two coefficients from the two last seasons (Note that I revise the season 13 estimate from 1.001905 to 1.002, based on today's data.)
salary_season14 = salary_season13 ^ (0.99197 / 1.002) = salary_formula ^ 0.99197
salary_season13 = salary_formula ^ 1.002
salary_season12 = salary_formula ^ 1.006714
salary_season11 = salary_formula ^ 0.999221

0.99197 is the coefficient that should be used to update the various user-made salary calculators, for example users of the coachParrot tool (version 1.1 upwards) should put this value into cell V4 on sheet Coeff.
