After rumors began to circulate in the Morgantown locker room, as a result of their economic struggles, the ownership team decided to keep the franchise in town but has opted to sell off its major contributors. The Dogs are looking to offload nearly 200k in salary expenses but the league must wonder how far in debt they've plummeted this season. Well wishes are being expressed that the Dogs will be able to convert these sales into new acquisitions that aren't so dibilitating to the budget. We hope to get word from the Morgantown Front Office soon, but to this point there been mums the word.

An odd development for the weaker half of this strong league. Again, the teams in the Great 8 get lucky. Morgantown has an extremely odd roster which looks more like a holding company than a real roster. Aisingiorro Ruihang might be the cheapest player I've ever seen in Buzzerbeater. (keep in mind, this is my second go-round after having been an elite trainer of NT Guards Martin Medrano http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/6627366/careerstats.aspx and Joe Bronson http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/7929116/careerstats.aspx) so I've been around the game for many seasons.

Regardless, I hope those guys are sold before my game with them. They should all be gone, but hopefully they aren't replaced before the game on the 19th. This sale could actually be the nail in the coffin for the Golden State Savages, as Morgantown could still be too good when the Savages play them tonight but when the Condors play them a few nights later, there will be a very different Dog Squad on the court. If the Savages lose and the Condors win, that'll create enough separation to guarantee relegation for the Savages despite being a worthy opponent.

You say weaker half, I say newer half. 😂😂 it would be nice if rather than relegating a player owned club, they could swap divisions of there are multiple Bot clubs, being relegated from the other conference. Or at least make it an option

Wow Mercy beat Machete on a last second dunk. Even the best great 8 team can't win against the big 8 playoff teams. Hopefully it stays that way so we can even out a little bit...

Yeah he strolled off the bench and yammed a dunk after some hectic 3s and turnovers. Subbed in for kabushkin and delivered the nail. GG to Machete that was a close one.

How good are the "Franchise Players," the 18 yo allstars that you get starting off?

Looks pretty rough from my scouting. He has only one guy over 3k, and that's his 19 year old forward with all-star potential.

This is one area where Buzzerbeater really needs to address the balance issues for new teams. Coming into this league, he's probably going to lose every game until he's relegated. How is that going to get someone excited about this game?

What they need to do is provide the new team with aging superstar, someone over age 33 with 10k+ salary but diminishing skills. That way they at least have someone who gives them a chance to compete.

It is not possible to win any games in this division with the roster you start with. You HAVE to make moves. The players you start with aren't worth a damn on the block so you have to use the starting money you get and the $50k new coach bonus each week. My best player that i started with (18yo all star) was a 52. I had some older guys who were a bit higher but not by much. He also has a higher salary then the guy he got so he is probably a 49-50.
I used most of my money to upgrade my arena, bc i figured i wouldnt get relegated and could save up. I also went super young and got a superior trainer. Im playing the long game so long as i dont go bankrupt

Yeah, an 18 y o 53 like Perp had doesn't seem to tip the scales much, those types of players are easily accessible for 50k or less.

Hm, thats a an interesting idea about having a competitive player. There is something to be said for having a mostly blank slate, though, I agree that a longer-view of training is likely still valid.

And I don't know, I think even if you aren't a top team, with the assets you get you aren't guaranteed to relegate.
