I have had a high payroll roster since the beginning of the season, but I'm not losing money each week and I'm far from paying any over extension tax bc most of my players were trained since their arrival (Training Exemption: $ 257 878). For your part, you took advantage of the league's relative weakness to make profit all the season long. Prior to the trade deadline, you purchased some high salary players, that you may sell back in a few weeks, to finally be competitive... In some ways you're exploiting a gap to try to win a title you don't really deserve. But I'll have to cope with this unfair situation.
