Anyway let's go to my question: do you think is fair enough to distribute money randomly?

Do you think it's fair Orlando got Dwight Howard in 2004 NBA draft and nobody else from that draft came even close to him in 6 seasons that followed? Or Kevin Durant in 2007? I think BB draft is a good approximation of NBA draft.

If you were the one that got 4M for a rookie you wouldn't be here :)

Great, we play a diffent game. No need to have gift (and from season 2 I always had terrbile draft invevesting also $$$) but I would like that you too don't have any gift. I'm sure BBs must do something, I'm not paid to solve the details of the game but I pay to play. Then of course there is always someone that is afraid about news but this happens also in the real life...
Hoping in bad draft to all of you, regards

That's just bad luck, it happens, deal with it. If I have a bad draft, I'm sure I won't be complaining in the forums. Oh btw, see that 6.7k hall of famer in my roster? Drafted him :)

chicago here we are not talking about luck but about money, pls check the 147 posts before if it's not clear enough

wishing bad luck to people shows that you are not concearned for the game but just jealous.

I hope you get a good draft, a $4-6M draft just to see what you do with your draftees.

By the way, why do you recon the draft is labeled as "the lotery". Try reflecting over that.

i purchased an 18 yo MVP PG for 2.5 mil last season. well, it was a bad move cuz i culdve gotten him for 1.8 but i was tired of the bidding so i went all in lol. Anywayz, a lot of you are saying it aint fair and dats true. but to the buyers like me, we paid not only for the players whom they are becoming but also for the fun and thrill of developing them. We spent the money for a game style ;P
Now look at my player now, possibly one of the best PG for his generation. If it wasnt for him, i wuldve quitted the game.

But problem doesn't occur on Your side (buyer). Problem exists on side of seller, especially their league opponents ;-)
Good game need proper balance between luck and skills/knowledge of users.
If we have no luck factor in game, I think it will be boring game. Because before every match result will be known. So some luck is needed. But in other hand if we have to many luck in game, it think it isn't good too. Because it will be lottery, and skills and knowledge will have no matter.
I think if 18yo player costs 4M it means frontier is exceeded or we are close to frontier. It is enough money to build in one day unbeatable team in divisions 5, 4 or 3 and one of the strongest team in 2nd division.
Of course, somebody can say that everybody had the same chance to get in draft player who is worth 4M. But I can overthrow this argument but following example. Please imagine that before every season few of teams in BB have chance to find new sponsor - for example Roman Abramovich or arab sheik. And these lucky teams receive 100M. Everybody has the same chance. But question is - will such game interesting and playable? I think not, because all decisions made during season don't matter if faced with luck in one moment.
