Is it a good idea for a new team to sell its young players and buy older players to win the league?
Or is it more wise to keep some youngsters to train?

Sell in my opinion. You got stacked though bro ;) That 18 year old MVP SG that you have up for sale, could easily give you 800k+ (probably over a million.) Please contact me if you need some guidance. I just joined last season so im fairly new to this game as well but im also 9-0 in my league and feel like i could help you out of giving you an idea on who to buy of the transfer list.

haha then i might actually have more experience than you
this is a new account but my 3rd or 4th season
attempted to cure my addiction to this game but only ended up losing my team and still returning to play BB :P
what do you mean by stacked? having multiple players at the same position?

I mean you got stacked because you have Cai Hsin Min. That is so lucky and amazing that you got him on your start off team because that can basically give you a free ride to the next division if you sell him and use the money correctly to buy good players.

Looks like your fate is now in the hands of someone else but I think you have made a horrible mistake. A player like that is a rare gift, having one that is an original player, wow. Why do you think he is worth so much? Because players like that can define an entire franchise. The Hornets drafted Kobe Bryant but traded him for an old good player Vlade Divac so that they could "win now". The Lakers were looking at the long term picture. Does anyone think the Hornets made a good move? That is exactly what you have done.

The reason why I decided to trade him was because I know I do not have the financial capabilities to get him to his potential. So I thought selling him would be more beneficial.

I see someone else has given you a ball for this answer. That makes me even more sad. It is not your fault, you are a new player, how could you have possible known that you were trading away Kobe Bryant for some trivial short term gain? In terms of financial capabilities I know lots of players that have been trained and made the U21 team or even the NT using a level four trainer. Sure it isn't as good as a level five but anyone can afford a level four trainer with fitness speciality which is probably 95% as good as a vanilla level five and a heck of a lot cheaper.

No bids yet so fingers crossed that no-one bids and you can still have one of the greatest starts a new franchise could hope for.

haha actually this is my 3rd or 4th season, its just a new account :P
but the whole time i was under the impression that when i get a player who i cannot train to his maximum potential,
it is better to sell him and buy another trainee who i can train to his maximum potential
this way not only do i get extra cash, i also do not lose the quality for my player
if im going for an nba example it would be like selling dwayne wade to get eric gordon + money

edit: unless of course i am totally wrong and that i am capable of training such a player to come close to his potential

You can, and with a player like that you could ask your NT coach for help and specific advice that would be great for that player.
