Oh wow, congrats!! $2.5M is quite a haul these days. Klingeman is a really good player though, and still young enough to train. I meant to say in my last post that I would keep him and train his passing more, but $2.5M is quite fair. Now you have some hard decisions to make... for next season.
I might actually try to get some bigs with shotblocking for my NBBA stint, Wozz seems to like it and the salary issue really becomes less big of a deal. I can't accept atrocious passing though, so no Boles for me.
Thanks! I hate to lose that type of defense. My plan was to train OD/ID to 20/12 then alternate One on One for Forwards and Passing. Oh well, $2.5 mil is ok by me, so on to the next plan, I just wish I knew what the next plan is. hmm, Joe Bronson is for sale….. :P
Other than the occasional blocked shot, I’ve never seen much effect from shot blocking, so I’m not sold on it, plus it’s just so expensive. If Boles had a 6 SB instead of 10, his salary would be < $100K per week. Is 4 points of SB worth $20K per week? My answer is a resounding no. Maybe it’s having more effect than I realize, or maybe he needs a 13 or 14 SB to be an effective shot blocker, but my guess is that a player with 16 IS doesn’t have much problem with an SB of 10. Of course that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy him. He would be a great player for you, and who needs passing anyway?
