I agree.... in simpler terms (in simpler minds, my own) I think there has always been roughly a "budget ceiling" You know, basically what could we all afford. and in the last few years, some managers here are running into it and finding that they need to solve it any which way before it takes them down. Training up good players like we all do, and buying/owning good players like we all do is part of our competitive arms race... but the long term finances begin to impede.

one also overlooked point, is it is really easy to train up a reasonable center. almost every team at this point has 2 or 3.

when i was shopping for players starting about last year, i think we finally saw the point on the curve where an ostensibly better player went for less money due to salary concerns.

so if you decide you dont want a salary above xxx, then you need to find the best skills to fit there (part fo the reason i hated ortega was most of his salary was tied up in shotblocking, which for whatever its mystical categories, isnt as useful as say, inside defense)

so really, with the glut of centers especially, but also other easy to train players, i think prices naturally were a candidate to fall. some teams were ahead of the curve and started training super players with only 70k salaries (sharman had a few)
i think there is still value in that, but soon there won't be as much value as before (but its still better than just training 4 inside skills evenly, and watching salaries skyrocket for a big man who cant catch dribble or shoot from outside of 3 feet)

I can assure you I am decidedly not F-ed long term.


So, being 4 games south of .500 is all part of the plan?

I didn't actually come here to troll Hambone in the previous post, but it happened.

What I meant to say was (to you, specifically) "So will this scouting doohickey be ready to roll next week during ASW?"

I'm going to say I hope so, but I can't guarantee it.

I'm just happy that someone thinks we're normal.

It comes from lots of practice. Every time one of my best friends calls me or talks to me online, we start off the conversation trying to out-gay each other. I'm pretty good at it.
