High Tops

Man, it just gets worse and worse.

-- A Div II team last year. Oh no.
-- a player with a salary of 53000, six other players with 5-figure salaries, players who would be stars for me riding his bench. oh no.
-- one of the more active TL people I've seen -- 14 million in transactions.
-- considering his payroll, not that large of an arena. can't sell out the bleachers -- curious.
-- has already won two championships at this level.

holy crap.

four teams done, and every friggin' one of them will rip my limbs off.

Magnums

-- a .500 squad from a year ago.
-- two big fellas with 90,000 in salary between them. dang. great rebounders.
-- i don't get perrier; large salary, but playing time last season was limited. maybe he owed the coach money or messed with his daughter or something.
-- another player who makes his money from player development, which suggests to me the dude knows what he is doing (I think training is tough -- of course, I may be trying to train pigs to fly).


i don't know. this is a 500 team?? yikes.

Ozark Tigers. My rivals.

-- like me, another Div IV winner.
-- he's got three big players who are coming along quite nicely. not yet at the level of the magnums or blue, but after another year of development, quite respectable players. have already seen a couple of teams with very good big men. Ozark will fit right in.
-- salary level then drops after that. small arena, and the TL is not a source of funds. this team might be strapped for funds.

i'm glad we're rivals. first squad i've seen that approaches my level. i will watch very carefully how this team plays against the rest of the conference.

Wangsters

-- holy smokes. this dude is selling the best scoring player i have ever seen. mvp. what could he be thinking?
-- just scrolled through the rest of his squad. now i see -- Wangsters R Carmichael. and pritchard -- who was sold. this man is rebuilding his squad.
-- if he gets 4 million for his Carmichael, then we have to see who / what he buys. If he does not get 4 million, then he still has one very very very good player with a fair to decent supporting cast (Jordan and the Bulls?)
-- but if he sells Carmichael he is sitting on boatloads of cash -- wish i had his problems!
-- will he buy to win this season? or buy youngsters and play for a season or two. i know i guarantee he will not get relegated after this season!

this has been rough. i need to get my friend Johnny Walker or maybe Jack Daniel to help me through this.
