yeah striking while the iron is still hot is monetarily usually a good bet. at 27 years old, the iron is slowly cooling. on the other hand, if it only takes 3 years to contend, then he'll only be 30, and he'll have 3 good seasons left for the streets to make a run during that time.

We could do an entire thread on the transfer market. When to buy when to sell I am sure as we have quite a bit of active members and some BB veterans we all have our on thoughts how you should approach this. Do you wait and get as much on court production out of a player while he is 27-33 or do you get maximum transfer market value by selling that player at those prime ages where teams can count on skills not diminishing and salary holding steady.

I will say at this point in the season my Rebuild is going well. I believe the team will still make the playoffs which will keep the fans just happy enough to continue to come to the arena despite this season seeing an increase in bleacher seat prices and in courtside seat prices (typical management huh? talk fans into accepting 1-2 down season yet ask them to pay more to attend.. wow). The training of young talent is coming along at an exciting pace. However we still see a very high average age on the roster. with 3 of those players being starters (midseason is the perfect time to phase them out as i have gotten enough wins to be confident that even without them i can land the 5 spot at worse and not have to worry about a relegation series.)..... BucsBlue will be back real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be perfectly honest you could make the 6 seed with almost no chance of relegating, but keeping those guys on the roster Long enough to help snag a playoff spot is worth it.

Oh boy, splashy move by Mitsubishi.

Be sure to list them overpriced then

Baker your type of humor is always so funny. I honestly wonder if people let your comments influence what they do. I know whenever i buy or sell and I see your comments i laugh my butt off and then try to do something to just dig at ya a little more. LOL.... well i am happy to see a bid on Vic for 400k. hoping that saturday night or Sunday AM i see that bid on the shot blocking rebouding paint protector Matti. Someone needs a true center to Anchor their team. I have a feeling he will get purchased also. boom 950k in my bank account. and rebuilding and training..... you'll know i am dangerous with money!

oh wow, i wasn't expecting you to sell palacios. i knew the tatti sale was coming, though.

Yeah Tatti probably wont sell for a while. I have a certain number i am looking for to get out of him. It will help replacing him easy. I am confident that Joe can be a starter even at age 19 and next year at 20. But my other youngster Ramon is NOT ready. And a certain number for Tatti will give me just the leverage i need to get a solid replacement for him thats younger and probably cheaper.

The Palacios sale was a test the waters thing i put him at a price i thought he would NOT get its actually over his estimated sell value and got a bid right away. So its all good. Unexpected money threw another arena expansion on. and with a home game today should be able to have enough to get a good (not great) replacement thats younger. Vic was a key part of the run last season and the season before that. But this year his productivity is really down.
