Welcome to hell everyone. Or at least those in the big 8. Two Stout demoted teams and a promoted team that doesn't look like they are anything to sleep on.

This aging roster of mine will stay intact until my cup run is done. After that it will be time for a hard look. Got a decent looking PF in the draft, he will get some development. And my 23yr olds still have lots of upside. Question is which way do I lean, tempted to go all in on the PF and try to turn him into a beast. But I am also tempted to go two or three way on training to give my guards time to move up while getting the kid some pops on his guard based secondaries. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If you don't have another prospect to go along with your PF then I would go with the guards and let him tag along.

Hello III.5, Not happy about the demotion but kind of expected it after selling my 90k per week salary center and focusing on training last season. You'll be happy to hear I plan to sell my 80k per week salary PG and continue my training efforts this season. I may have to trim even more salary once I see how much revenue is coming in. Good Luck to everyone in the upcoming season

Hiyas Joe,

That bald headed man, in front of you on that boat is me. Two seasons ago, unloading and rebuilding. I understand bro I understand. Good Luck to ya.

Thanks Coach.

In my experience, if you don't win the first 2 or 3 seasons down, you end up staying for 20+ seasons...

By 2-3 way I mean multi position training. I train on the slow build, the 23 year olds are at 73 and 66 tsp, I think I can get them kicking and dragging to near 90 and low 80's respectfully over the next couple of seasons. Now they will be raggedly looking scalawags, heavy on secondaries though I think I can drag the one who is lower on the totem pole to a pretty decent JS/JR. My method is very much on the fly, and who gets trained on what depends most weeks to how the minutes work out. The other guy will end up like Skinner, good HA DR and OD with a ok JS but hopefully a little better on the passing.
Plus he has decent inside skills for a guard so that makes up a bit for his still sluggish shooting.


But I am tempted to let it all ride on the new guy, went inside shot for c/pf this week and got him a pop to a nine. I think a concentrated effort will yield a player of real impact. As it is I have developed over the seasons a core of guys who have a solid array of skills and solid overall tsp while being very efficient salary wise. But they are a mercurial lot.

Last time I demoted and trained it took 6 seasons to get back to D2. i'm hoping it won't take as long this time.
