No - I'm saying if you aren't competing you can strip your roster back for an entire season (or longer) accept a lower finish in the league or a shorter cup run and then build to fight another day.

If you are going to finish 4th in your league or get knocked out in the cup anyway why operate on $800k a week if you can operate on $300k and achieve the same result?

Fair point. Just this: if and when you have that conversation, be careful with the data. In season 12, Los Dragones rented the mother of all rental players: Silves. Not suggesting that this alone should make you change the systems but simply that strictly speaking:

teams have tried essentially renting superstars but haven't been able to win the tournament that way.


is false.

Look who's back in the BBB final...I wonder if they will even bother printing his name on a new jersey since he'll be long gone in a matter of days...

Well fair play to the winner if the gamble pays off. I can't believe that there isn't at least 2 teams in Buzzerbeater wanting to fight for his signature.

In Japan the losing cup finalist should've signed him or someone similar, won the final and the $300k then immediately sold without paying the wage and at worst taken a 20% hit on the sale price (softened by the $300k)... that would've been $300k spent to win the cup.

The BBB final prize is $1mil.... so there is plenty of scope for tactics like this IF you win. I can't believe in the BB world there aren't other cup finalists prepared to take these risks. Maybe the losing finalists/semi finalists this week will regret not stepping up to the table for the sake of a few hundred thousand $.

Do you still think when you see transfers of both this season finalists there is no need to change the rules yet?

Maybe the transfer rules could be as the champions league..
Who played in a B3 match with another team and when he transferred an another team, he's ineligible for the B3 matchs..
Just an idea..

Doesn't make much sense on any level. Either you have a large amount of such monsters circulating around, in which case the measure is more or less irrelevant, or you're distorting the market so that the team that bought a given player first have an advantage throughout the tournament.

What kind of team would sustain $ 1 080 848 salaries only for two big mans for an entire season
Are you joking?

Did you take a minute to understand what the discussion is about?

The suggestion is that a player becomes ineligible for B3 competition with other teams once he's played a B3 game with a given team. Therefore, if this is implemented, doing the divine trick will not only give you advantage, but also eliminate that player from the competition in the future.

Since the player situation is dynamic and may change in the future, there are two cases in which this situation is worth examining:

(a) There is a relatively large amount of "divine" players on the market. In this case, the implementation of the suggestion simply does not change anything.

(b) There is a relatively small amount of "divine" players on the market. In this case, the implementation of the suggestion gives unfair advantage to the teams that use one of them in a B3 game first.

It's a poor suggestion that's not going to work, no matter how you slice it.
