all of this is not answering how the engine is gonna recognize all of this and how would recognize you're trainee and if I buy a 500k salary guy and he pop in say IS is he counted my trainee, and now i have 500k free salary , or if i buy 10 guys and train them for only 1 pop to sell them with profit how the engine s gonna determine which is my trainee ,and if you respond with only your draft ,ill say i don't wanna my draft pick suck you bb's are robbing me you're not allowing me to train whatever i like.you're interfering with my team and my politics and not giving me options.And script wise i dont know how can be implemented such a think ,while a fee is fee its got exact margins probably 2 line's of code and no one can take advantage of it

Actually the good thing about this is you can go over the cap, but only training. It would benefit long term financial decisions and stability on rosters (because once you are over the cap you wouldnt be able to bid for players at all, and you would only be able to improve by training)

No need to recognize it. No matter if you train player yourself or someone else has trained him, the only idea is to be under the cap at the moment of biding any player.

As I wrote, if someone else brings any interesting idea I can support it as well.
I'm really worried about B3 future. Without any changes I expect B3 become competition for savings teams very soon and highly probably it would be the only strategy for B3 win. The only question is how many savings teams will build B3 team each season. I expect every other season there will be more and more these competitors.

Maybe we don't understand each other well.
Last season there was no tanking team using his money to build team for B3. VS is in my eyes first tanking team ever which used tanked money to build team which could fight for B3 title. Even with 1,6M overall salary ESV Laim had just 3 really great players, so it's not even starting 5. He also made several mistakes, but I can't specify them because I hope someone else can make similar mistakes. VS has already had great starting 5, with really good one backup for PG/SG, second one for PF/C and decent backup for SF. And I think he hasn't been finished with his purchases yet. I don't think injuries are real danger for him, too much injuries needed. There are two main possibilities how to stop him: 1) his mistakes (mainly tactical) 2) another tanking team using saved money for the same strategy as VS.
Also enthusiasm use in his league is no problem for him, he can play TIE every league games. Game shape is also not problem (you probably know why).
And I'm not talking about final 32. There are too many team which can go into final 32. Personally I think I can go into final 32 with 8-0 record, probably my roster will be one of strongest (let's say one of top 10), but I don't expect my team to be danger for VS even if I buy another bigman that would make my roster comparable with my last season roster (but probably I don't plan to buy any bigman for this purpose).

The game is still very young, so almost all tanking teams are still in period of tanking, I think B3 concept have worked quite well so far (except for season 14 final), but I'm worried about the future as tanking teams starts using his savings and we will see if I'm right with opinion that now begins area of tanking B3 winners (if there are no changes in the game) or kamikaze B3 winners (that end after B3 win or starts tanking period).

Why not a salary cap like the NBA?

The salary cap suggestion was brought up numerous times in the past but it didn't really take off.

So instead of capping salary, why not we focus on the club economy instead? Teams cannot go over a certain amount on their weekly balance, like -300k excluding transfers or else the club's account manager will step in. This should have the dual effect of helping new teams destroying themselves economically by buying cheap, huge monster players without knowing the repercussions.

In what moment it would be checked?
