i'm trying to figure out why Hoosier is selling everybody who makes five figures. there are some pretty decent players there, and they did after all win a championship and are ranked in the top 10 in the U.S. so why sell? my theories:
-- there is a tape that has yet to be made public of Hoosier telling his beautiful girlfriend not bring her black boyfriends to the game.
-- he wrote an email saying the racial mix of the crowds had scared away the affluent.
-- he owes money to the mob.
-- his secret success is deflating basketballs, and that won't work now.
-- since he is from Alaska, he made Sarah Palin mad.
-- those rookies are better than they look.
regardless, congratulations on movin' on up. Ozone has a term he uses to describe the newbies: "plankton". i'm not sure what he means by that.

I believe he owes money to the mob and since this is the part of the season where everyone OVER sells from their true value, he wanted to take advantage and make as much of a profit as possible to buy a whole new roster in another week or two.

For the cash homie. My roster is a little advanced in age and I don't have the resources to really jump to the top of this league. Sell them now to protect value, demote with 12 million, see you in two seasons with much better resources to compete. I have no interest in floundering for a season or two before demoting with a roster of advanced aged players. Seen too many teams fall into that trap.

Ohio St. Buckeyes for the win...again. I have sold off my entire team, in other seasons,this week and bought a whole new one like you said. I don't think that's the play this time though. I feel I am a little short to play with the big boys yet.

Plankton gets sucked up by the big whales! I might as well be plankton with fat ?$$ pockets.

$12 million + patience = a pretty good team, i'll grant you that.

i'm impressed with the speed you made the decision. and you see the point of assembling a team that not only can win at one level but is also readu to compete at the next level -- that goal adds a level of complexity to the game not everyone gets.

but prepare yourself for the day when you will do what most managers here do, assemble teams with spit and duck tape --

This notice somehow did not get published:

1/25/2015 - Eugene Register-Guard is mourning the rejection of Larry "Nit" Whitt for the United States National Team.

whoa, did i get lucky: not only was Soto hurt six minutes or so into the game, but his sub was $2800 19-year old. and despite this, TKI very nearly won the game.

my dummies couldn't exploit this guy -- i thought that was the whole point of a Patient offense --

it is becoming clear just exactly what TnT lost when Stankovic went down late last season -- that dude is putting up phenomenal numbers at SF. he may very well be the best player in the league.

Don't worry, I actually started the two scrubs, I wasn't winning anyway. Soto's replacement was Acker, so no real major affect on the game. Although you also injured Walter later in the game - trying to take out the national team 1 guy at a time? Team still bitter from Larry Whitt's snub in the NT scrimmage on Monday?

Also, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The best player in the NBBA is Bowens on BM and the second best player is Simmons on UK. Everyone else can fight for 3rd.

Nice game TnT. I thought I was going to find a way to come back but obviously my roster, as currently constructed, isn't really able to compete with you guys. Hopefully I'll be able to find ways to win games like this by the time the season's done.

You will. With player like Arthur Glass, your team will only get better as the season goes on. Can't say the same for my aging team though. The only reason I went TIE because I thought you would have gone TIE as well. I guessed wrong with the game vs TKI as well.

1st time here I can't resist the 400k net income u guys get here
Is it better just to tank it and get a top pick and come back with better roster and finances?
It burns about 1 mil in div II to get here but it's a washout with the promotion bonus
I don't see myself competing against a 900k roster anytime soon
