I can get a rough estimate from the DMI index and the players salary. Don't need to know his specific skill sets to know how good he is. I'm not saying he's bad, far from it! I'm just saying he's just not worth that money unless he was maybe a couple years younger and you had a high level trainer. The best training years are 18-22. But if you don't believe me this might put it in perspective, http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/31913/overview.aspx this guy is one of my good friends, got promoted a couple seasons back, looks like he's been consistently finishing mid table every season since then. A SF of around the same age and salary earning as your guy would be a role player in this league. Which would make more sense, spend half a mill on a roleplayer in a mediocre league or get two role players of slightly less value with the same money that would give your team more depth? Again I'm not picking on you, it's just while we were on the subject of overpriced guys I thought I'd bring up a trend that I've been seeing for the last couple seasons. It's just something that needs to be said, I've already run into EIGHT players picking up this game that spend their starting 300k or whatever on one or two players that just aren't worth it because they don't know how the game works, their salary ends up eating away at their income, they spend the rest of the season having to develop their franchise with only and income of like 5k a week while their washed up players aren't performing, get tired of losing and quit the game thinking it's stupid.

I understand what you are saying, totally, but I have bigs that can produce. They may not score as much but having both of them averaging just over 12 rebounds a game is very good. I am, though, looking for a C that can give me more, and if any of you have any options, don't be afraid to help me out. I will do the same in return.

Good game Above The Rim, really tight. Final score was double digits, however the game was much more intense.

Comments from the Coach Jinx:

I was feeling pretty good about this game, despite not having our starting SG (Donny Hardman) who's been out for over a week and a half now. Unfortunately The Trees are a really good team that has had our number for years now, it also didn't help that we lost our starting Center in the first quarter either. It is really unfortunate that we're losing players coming down the stretch.

The Trees have a great coach and a great team, it also helps when you're playing at home. We'll bounce back but this one stings as well as the Lighting game. We'll rebound and get through this hopefully. This was a tough game throughout and the better team won.

I knew this conference was very physical and so far we have lost 2 starters in inter-conference play. Antoine Moreau was forced into the lineup and played well against a good team. We'll continue his growth going forward and hopefully he's that KEY piece we need to contend year end and year out.

We are now headed back to our home to take on the LA Triads, hopefully we can rebound from this loss and put another win on the board. The game will be winnable we just have to execute. We have the capability to make it happen because nobody can play "Above the Rim".

I guess I really am from Chicago, one of my bench guys got injured and if you see my stats, he was probably the only guy that got off the bench and actually did things. As in the words of Coach Thibs from the Chicago Bulls "We have more than enough, but we probably won't beat anyone else after Saturday's game." Well, he didn't say that but we are all old enough in age, y'all get the point. Another man down and the next man up.


Time to get WILD.
