I'm not sure that I understand what goes through these managers' heads, Toonces. Many of these players cannot be replaced at these prices. If my math is close to right—I sort of added in my head—Postal will not be able to create a good II team for $15M. And as you mentioned, it does create confusion to the league...

Could be that he isn't trying to create a good II team given that he is going to relegate. He needs to build a good young team that can win in III and eventually promote stronger than what he has. In related news tinydantzler a.k.a. The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh did the same thing except he made $27m and now has 4 18-yo guards at MVP or better and 2 19-yo guards at Superstar or better.

Seems a bit excessive but he is set up for the long haul.

i also thought that before bankruptcy they transfer list all your players, so maybe postal had $ issues, but that is hard to believe with how easy it is to make money

I can't replace the players I sold for the prices I sold them for? That doesn't make sense. Has the market risen that much in a week?

You are right that I can't create a good II team for $15M. I didn't have a good II team in the first place! I can switch to training outside though, and hopefully come up stronger than when I left.

Right on, except for the 'he' part.

If you look at the best NBBA teams they all seem to have always had a plan. I'm just trying to come up with a plan too! :)

Just curious darykjozef, but how upset were your fans after some thing of a 60 point loss? Was it worse than when you lose by 10, 20 points or so? Still wondering on degree of losses affecting fan mood.


Sorry, just saw this.

The fans were at half a star after the 68-point loss. To put that in proper perspective, I lost the season opener by one point on the road @SnS, and my fans were at 1.5* after that game.

Edit: I suppose I should expound on that to say that after the first game, I was in 5th (down from a meaningless alphabetical 2nd to start the season), and after Saturday's debacle I was in 2nd (down from a slightly more meaningful 1st).

I lost by 29 at home to them, and am also at half a ball for last league game.

So we'll see what happens when I lose by 15-20 or so. It's gonna happen. /sigh

Just be careful.. there are a few tough Div IIIs now.. and it may take a bit longer to bounce back up then expected. Especially if starting with a young team.

These type of games have always been about plans, and following through on them. It's rare to luck into success, unless you happen to be an old guard NBBA team that began in the NBBA and now am established there, so they'll basically have to quit in order to demote from the NBBA. Good luck in finding a strategy that you're happy with and keeping at it. Probably will take some patience, the type of patience I'm not sure that I have.

Sounds like you have a nice patient plan with those 19 yo PGs

Hope you're not including me in that list. I haven't had a plan in a while. :)
