This is really irrelevant, I think. Even if I invest 20k a week in scouting (which I do), my first round pick may turn out to be a crappy 3k rookie that's never going to become any good. People don't fire them to save in salary. 3k x 14 weeks = 42k, it's what you get from the first round of the cup, so I don't really see the point. Besides, I already invested 20k x 14 = 280k to get this piece of crap... When you are in a position where the players you need to compete are much better than the rookies you find, and even in div IV that can happen, it's not any useless bench-warming rookie that is good enough. So if a player is not good enough to be trained, why should I have to look at his face for a whole season?

Besides, even if we ignore the fact that this is not the NBA, even though every team in a crappy div V would rather compare his league to the NBA than to anything else, there are teams in the NBA that give away their draft picks for close to nothing. So it's not like everyone is committed to their first round pick. Teams trade their picks for future second round picks...

You know what they say, "An useless and nonsensical suggestion a day keeps the doctor away"!

And again, the combination of two of my suggestions will do the work, like they do in the NBA.
Players in higher leagues should be more "mature' players, but with lower potentail or with lower rate of improvement.
By that - they're payroll will be high enough to take care of them, and you will need to invest more on their training managing, and on the draft managing. Summary - invest more time on BB-managing.

Crap player exists also on NBA draft.

And how do those earn their payroll other than going to Europe or playing in a D-league? Even some NBA first rounders never get a NBA contract ...

Great - so they will have a strategy and they will exploit it by better scouting in the draft! That is one of the things I've pointed toward. Thanks for your help!
It doesn't matter what will they do. They will have a strategy.


Some have already a strategy. They don't invest in the draft. Why refuse them this strategy ? In NBA, not every club have the same budget for draft and scouting.
Great again - they could keep that, and pay for the worse player they will get due to that. If they want to keep neglecting one of the main features of BB-managing they will need to face the consequenses.

If I have already my three trainees, why would I be forced to take a fourth ??? If I know that next season, because of promotion, I will have a better chance at the draft, why would I be forced to invest my points now ???
It is like saying, if I know that I have a very hard game next "day", why should I use my players for todays game.
Answer - you don't have to, but you will need to face the consequences of that on current game.

Again, in the NBA the first round has a secured contact.
They managing that, and so on BB-managers need to.
It is as simple as that.

So those NBA teams, pays by sending (probably) better players for not being needed to pay their payroll.
Sounds like they are still paying for the draft choice they make...
