On the lookout for a certain player atm, have one lined up now but not sure if I'm willing to pay more than 550k, well thats my limit on this position I'm looking to fill.

Which position?

Well ideally PF, I could compromise on a C or SF with the appropiate skills but that would involve maybe a further squad reshuffle. Really dislike even listing players, the fans hate it and I've noticed it can make a big difference on attendances. So yeah a PF, my budget ceiling barring any sales is about 40k salary but I might push that to 50k if needed.

so you're after a <$50k PF for <$550k purchase price.
If I get some time I'll have a look around, but you know what skill set you're after.
I'm assuming it's some decent IS/REB skills with nice JS/driving and good enough ID.

I like to have all my players well drilled defensively, both inside and out with rebounding something I've slowly been improving past couple of seasons with training and purchases. Shooting all round is important, likely focus more on outside but thats no secret. If I can get a PF with proficent OD and sensational ID and rebounding at least with no weakness(anything under mediocre I cringe at), I'll be reasonably happy. Obviously the younger the better, I don't mind paying a lil bit more for those 24-27 year olds. You can still get a few moulding pops and you get a few years of service at least with good resale value. Still, you've been around awhile and know all this :P

PS : My current starting PF is not to be underestimated, one of my fave players and if a similiar skill set came up I'd be tempted to pay alot of money. Outplays alot of other PF or out of position C's and SF's with wages 3 or more times his, sure he's not an inside monster but his skill set is very balanced with a slight favour towards inside skills. I'd happily keep him in the team on a salary of 25k not just the 9k he's on, he'd make a great back up and I might be able to get a few pops out of him yet if I find myself inclined to give him some training minutes. Still at 26 could be painful.

lol I'll take my chances against your $9k PF with my $60k PF? :P
If you towel me up then lesson learnt. Until then, I'll like my chances.

My boy Fernando is probably my secret weapon. :)
I could probably sell him easily for 1.2m if I wanted to.
And I will get some more pops out of him yet.

And my trainee's Aslam and Blackman will be quite formidable in a couple seasons.
Aslam will make NT as SF and Blackman should be a pretty epic PF when he's finished.

Anyways best of luck with your purchases, I can't wait to see what I'm going to be up against in the grand final series. :)

Still no luck yet on my purchase/s, nearly signed a couple but they wnet over my budget, I must admit late last night(must have been intoxicated from memory) I very nearly bought a 22yo PF with 58k salary, fantastic skill set but his current price and eventual price 1.7M was a little to much for me to commit. I swear though, was like a milli second off clicking and he would of ended up being mine. Kind of glad I didn't though, alot of money.

I'm watching the news feed very closely, and I can't wait to see some updates to see what moves I need to make, if any.

I would like to get to the finals without making any more purchases, but I am ready and willing to pounce at a moments notice.

Like a well oiled bear trap....
