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.

I have a nice bank account, I have plenty of income and WAS content on waiting 2 years to jump into the dance. It has become extremely difficult with all these posts. You boyz make me wanna dance. You make me wanna buy that BIG !!!! NO STOP the madness!!! WAIT another year...... Yo Frosty I'll be waiting for you!!!!

gotta be a BIG!!!!!

I dropped the price on Marco Tatti he's down to a very reasonable $475k. But in all honesty... you and I are on the same plan right now. I am barely going to make the playoffs if not i will happily take the 5th spot so i dont have to do a relegation series. If Marco sells (to you or anyone at that matter) i know i wont have enough to keep you out of the playoffs. But for the larger picture i know that i am not young enough overall to sustain so i need to move Marco, Pana, And Vic (Vic already being moved). The aging bench i am not concerned about .

I like Tatti but won't buy a big over 28. You are right 4th or 5th is ok with me too. I don't want to have to play a relegation series either.

Its funny because for the life of me i have always tried to figure out. Is the 4th spot in the playoffs really worth it or is the 5th spot no relegation better? Unless you think you can get an upset. If you are the 4th seed you have to pay player salaries and you only get HALF of what the home team brings in for that sold out playoff game. So if his arena isn't that big or priced right you can actually LOSE money being the 4th seed. If you are the 5th seed your players dont play a meaningful game so you dont have to pay salaries. So there are some mathematical situations where being the 5th seed in a year you dont believe you are going to make some upset playoff runs is better I believe.

I have not ever been the 5th seed in a situation where i had high player salaries but i would love to hear from someone on if they found that not paying salaries actually SAVED them more money than had they made the 1/2 income from being the 4th seed and having to fully pay player salaries. Anyone with that experience???

Yes I agree with Tatti his age is why i will only get 500k if lucky... and if he stays the entire season next year i will only get 200k at best for him. But what can happen is you get a team that has great guard play and dont need large post scoring (need more Rebounding, Shot blocking, and Inside Defense Presence). And they feel like 50k is a reasonable player salary for the final piece to a title run then you get the bid. Other than that the only other time i've seen MY centers (can't say for others) sell for 450k+ at age 32 or older is a new manger joins BB and they are just learning how the transfer wire work or has that 500k you start with and think i want a dominant Center first. and they buy him. Other than that i will be LUCKY if he sells for 450k+ which is what i would like to get for him....

But i didn't think Vic would sell when i threw him up and he went for over 425k. So you never know with BB. But Tatti is a good center had been KEY in my 3 trips to the finals. just getting old sadly.

I thought they tweaked the system so the 4th place and 5th place finishers both paid salaries just 1 week instead of both (4th)/none (5th).
