I've tried both a 15 JS/15 JR guy and a 19/11 guy . . . I kind of think you need to have something like 18/16 or higher to be really effective at the NBBA level . . . he's only 19/12, but he had 16 driving while Winkler and Yi were both only at 14. But if driving were more of a factor,I'd expect better from Shultz, who is 18/10 with 17 DR


see, what i'm wondering is what if you reversed those JS / JR numbers in every case. would you have a player whose first thought was 3 pt, and used those DR skills to get himself into the corner or otherwise get a little space from 25 feet out.

i've had players with similar skills and inevitably they seemed most effective with JS from around the FT line, give or take. but what if they felt more comfortable much further outside? i like AZ idea that the salary boost would have to be compensated for with the big men, but is it possible to get a team or at least the scorers to go out on the floor and look for the 3 first?

I think you beating around the wrong bushes. Driving is important. Handling is important. At the end of the day, they still need that one or two extra bucket a game to improve the fg%. That will come from IS. You still need a deeper skilled player than strictly primaries. Run a couple guards out there with any mixture you stated of JS and JR with good driving and handling and 11 or 12 IS and you are going to have a fairly effective guard in an outside offense (more IS for a truly elite guard). Granted, those cost tons of cash, so you will have to probably train them, but the trade off is, they are equally effective in neutral and inside offenses. They just cost a lot more per week than an LI guard. The trick is to find the right mix of Bigs to make it work. You can sacrifice ID on the bigs if you run the OD up. Unfortunately, you might have to train these as well.

After dispatching "bosten celtic" in tonight's Cup game, I'll move on to face "bolton celtics" next week. I had to do a double take because I thought I was somehow facing the same team two weeks in a row.

Man, Mark Horner is listed on the TL again. Over the past few seasons, I don't think there's been a single player listed as often as he is.

If you bought a vet for $50k and he suddenly got a $1.5M transfer estimate, what would you do :O

List him for $1 million, and watch 3 days fly by without a bid, and then list him for $750K, and after 2 days with no bid see his TPA drop to 500K, and then relist him for 400K, and watch his TPA drop to $250K, and still not sell, and relist him for $250K again, and then see his TPA change to: Players like this haven't transferred recently...and then be stuck with the crappy vet I bought I for $50K.

You know normally I agree, but when I looked it said 20 players like that were transferred. So I think he still won't sell, but apparently there was a start-of-the-season window of opportunity here. If the game lets me buy players with that kind of salary the next time I finish fifth, I might try it!

Lost the last road game but attendance went up for today's home game. Don't ever remember fans were that forgiving. Anyone experiencing the same?
