There is a team in my league that has just bought a 84k salary player. He also has 2 other players with salaries of 77k and 75k with other players with salaries like 30k. I worked out that he is now spending $338,889 on salaries but yet his arena only makes around 204k? How can he be surviving? he has had the 2 70k players for a few weeks as well so I have no idea how he is able to keep these players and buy more?

the team u are talking about looks like he is what is called a day trader. except instead of buying younger players he buys veteran players and then sells them a few weeks later. If you have the time this can be very profitable, but you can quickly go into debt.

It looks like he's holding on to most of the players two months or so, and the "profit" is extremely small in almost every case even before figuring in the wages. It seems more like a guy who just turns over his players more frequently than a day trader.
