Maybe. It sure is a lot. I paid a fortune for my players. Sold them cheap. But now equal players are half the cost so I could get much better ones. Like I said I aimed for 7th this season but my $5k backup players keep on winning me games don't ask me how. How does a roster that is 3 PGs, a SG, a PF & some $5k backups keep winning? Don't let me make 4th for playoff time, I don't know if I'll be able to resist renting some guys to make a run :P

Yes I agree & those good players pay for themselves every week. I have a PG w 10 ID which no-one would suspect (ok till now lol) but he always does better than his salary suggests. It is a bit sad my team will be full of monoskill rentals (: but I only have 5 real players left Presley, Harris, Paki, Mouss & Diakite. The rest are cheap fillers or rentals who don't have great all round skills.

It would be really interesting to watch that final series mainly because I would love to see Hippos go, "Fuck it this is my season"

I miss being in such a competitive league. I just hope that when i promote next season that I get put into a Div III league that is not too hard so i can promote but competitive enough to keep me interested.

But as we have always said. The reason you barely ever see guys who win this league drop down back to Div III because the quality of the side that you need to be able to lift the flag at the end is alot higher then most of the bottom Div II sides.

Tills, I hope to stay up here myself and follow your lead, I think if we can make it here in this Div on the blue side, we will be so much stronger for it.

I agree. I think it's a lot better to be in one of these leagues so that when you do finally promote you're ready for Division II. Rather than stay up for a season and get your ass kicked before jumping back down to D III. I do however feel sorry for teams who get relegated from Div II into one of our leagues aka JBallers who couldn't promote last season and now has to rebuild this season (or at least he says he's rebuilding).

how about we take some guesses on how much the Gladiators and Hippos are going to win/lose by

Gladiators will lose by 27

Hippos to win by 15

there are pros and cons to being in this league

cons : you could be stuck here for a very long time

pros : we got some great guys with some great experience happy to pass on advice to new guys to help improve team.. generally, if u listen to that advice and act on it, you can build your team for the future, whilst remaining semi competitive, bank some coin and expand your arena at the same time..

and with guys like bainsy in the league, they add so much to the overall enjoyment of BB :D
