I have a suggestion that is linked to what is done in real estate market : additionnal taxes calculated on the increase in value.

Buy a player for 100k. Sell him for 300k. The additionnal taxes will go on the 200k of difference. Higher the increase in value is, higher the taxes % is .
This wont prevent noobs from buying too expensive players (like this one in my division did few days ago http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/84853/transferhistory.aspx ), but it will make day traders look for the right price to re-sell (in a short term trading).

I do agree with managers who want to keep daytrading as a part of the game. But a "honest" 200% increase in value cannot be reached in 2-3 weeks. Even with the best trainer and elastic effect in training etc.
A 10%-50% increase in the price (on a 2 week term) is still reasonnable and can be linked to the demand/offer evaluation (a player bought for 100k can be selled 150k the next week, this should not be seen as cheating).
But a 200% (or even more) increase in value in a 2 week term is not a "honest" offer.

A "honest" and strong increase in value can only exist if the player has been trained well for a season time (and get his 5 or 6 ups). Day trading should exist, but not with that huge sales margins.

I agree completely. This suggestion makes the most sense. I also think tax % on the profit should go down with time, but not very fast

Grullo's issue is you get the same arena income and a bit less in TV rights with roster of 400k compared to his 1M, or my 800k. So you can basically gain at least 300k a week compared to him. That's at least 3M/season, if not more...

According to the topic there are no more day traders ;) Now we should call them week traders. Secondly it's all about an economy. If you want money to be your friend, you need to adjust to economy situation. Nobody said earning money is so easy. However trading become quite big income for many teams, which have barely connection with real basketball. I think transferlist fee (for selling teams) is a good solution (5/10k per player?). Trading shouldn't be punished hard. It's a profit for managers who spend more time in BB than the others.
