Well I didn't follow the market this season as much as last season (I bought an american SF prospect for over 1.8 Million ... there were quite a lot which where more expensive) and there were 18yo who were sold for around 3 millions ( I think he (18235389) was the most expensive 18yo last season)

I think Grubbs would have been a lot more expensive if his outside skills (especially Outside Defense) were better

Wow, that team that has him right now is a total farm team. Does nothing but sit in D.V with random D.IV promotions with a roster full of scrubs and trainees. Keeps its cash supply up with low salary and selling off of trainees when they become unmanageable in salary. That's why they were able to afford him.

I think that the problem is not in the market. The anomaly is in the draft. There is no other aspect of the game in which the random may have so an impact on a team's history. In a game in which the main managers' activity is to mantain a good economy, the arrival of extra, substantially randomly assigned, 2-3m $, brakes the equilibrium in a not right manner. Think this should be somehow corrected.

Why doesn't it make sense if many managers are willing to pay some millions to buy a great prospect? If there is a bidwar for the best 18yo after draft and people are willing to pay 3+ millions to get a player with MVP+ Potential and high starting skills than thats fine, but I doubt that there are many who would pay anything to get an all atrocious player ;)

Because they will find the players full trained for 5-6-7 seasons with the same price,and in these 6 seasons they save,they can train other players
Isn't that more logical?

Is it against the rules to play illogically? If someone wants to bust out for a rookie, that's part of the game. If it's a farm team , that's part of the game. If it's the luck of the draft, that's part of the game. As this game gets older there will be many niches that will make some people upset but others happy to be able to fill. A draft is a random thing. Ask the guys who drafted Sam Bowie. Maybe next year you will get the golden egg. Maybe not.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

We have to focus the attention to the seller not to the buyer. We are talking about a lot of money given for free, it can happens also to me of course but that's not fair, I need to train for 6 seasons if I want to earn the same money. Everything here is a part of the game but it should be good to improve this game and this is for sure a bad aspect of the game.

As Ned pointed out,the consequences of some kind of actions are not limited to the user who spend the money,but also to the seller and the users that compete with him in the championship.I don't want to say someone how he has to play the game,because if you want to waste money,become a farm,or use whatever style of play that respect the rules of the game,you are acting in a legit way.
But an illogical way of playing by some user,should not have effects on the game of the other users.TPA exists to equilibrate these kind of situation,it not means necessarily that someone break the rules,but that there is a situation that alters in a signifcant and not justified way the game.And a situation where the rookies are paid as the best player of the game,surely alters in a signifcant way the game

I see those payments going out as the exact same thing as huge contracts on rookies in the NBA or any other sport. Kobe getting a 3.5 million 3 year contract. Shaq with a 41 mil 7 year contract. The big star rookies will get paid huge amounts in any sport. I don't honestly see why it would be any different here.

I don't see any rookie in NBA earns like the old players,because rookie contract don't allow this

Best Rookies:John Wall $5,144,280 Blake Griffin $5,357,280

Stars with a long career:Dirk Nowitzki $17,278,618 Kobe Bryant $24,806,250


And in real life Wall and Griffin's Skills are much much closer to Dirk and Kobe' skills than a 18years old rookie in BB compared to the top players in BB

So I see enormous differences

No real difference there actually. I've seen several older players go for 3-4M as well, it's not too uncommon. True, no players go for 20M in Buzzerbeater, but that's more a function of the way the market works than lack of realism.
