Geez we are all very fiesty today arent we! Is all the Xmas shopping stress starting to get to people! Relax peoples relax!

The idea is that by not allowing to fire or sell a player drafted (at least on the first round/s), will cause ALL users to put more into their training and into their scouting.

BUT, as someone else pointed out, it would actually probably lead to teams investing in the draft to find the WORST player in the draft, (ie: lowest salary) so that for the next year, they pay the least amount of money.

The problem with that, is that in NBA, the teams have a staff of people who specialise in player management, salary management, training, accounts, trainee development etc etc. And in particular, the GM's and team presidents, who in liasing with the coach, will draft/trade/fire players based on performance, market availability, finances etc etc.

These staff get paid salary and they do it for a living. If we make this game too much like NBA, im going to have to hire an assistant to make me coffee, and a market strategist to work out the best buy's on the market, and im going to have to ask BB to pay me a salary :) :) :) :) :)

So what about a slight modification to the suggestion.
First round draft pick if sold before all-star break, will be paid 6 weeks of salary

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.

Will I invest 140k (10k a week) to get a player around 1500$ which I will be forced to pay for 14 weeks, so a total of 161k.

Or.

Will I invest nothing and pay a player around 3000$ which I will be forced to pay for 14 weeks, so a total of 37k? And I wish to point out that he will be better in Cup (and scrimmage, I like to win my scrimmages) than the other. If I'm lucky, I still will get my 1500$ without investing nothing.

so you draft useles player, and training is also useless but you had to pay the salary. Nothing of them is reality in the NBA like you say, cause NBA team also trade their draft picks, and draftet players. Also training should be possible like in lower league with the same circumstances etc.

Who says that investing in the draft means that you will get a lesser player (one who will have lower salary and ability)?
This logic is beyond me

You said that. http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr...

Great - this is a strategy, but is still mean that they invest thought and action for the draft.
In addition, I'm not sure that all will do the same, and what is more important is that this will really cause users and the BB-masters to think how to improve the draft (if needed).
