Has anyone noticed the inflated prices of players over the past couple seasons? I've sold players for more than what I purchased them for when they've only gotten older and should have depreciated in value. Acquiring new players at good value has been difficult as well.

the market is subtle, and in hindsight, rational. you made this comment during the height of the feeding frenzy as teams looked to buttress their squads in time for the playoffs. (i was looking at this time, as well.) i have noticed a near collapse in demand since Monday -- i figure owners have either spent themselves broke or figure decent game shape can not be achieved by playoff time -- this is the voice of experience speaking, as i wildly overpaid for my last player.

anyway: note to self -- last week of season good time to buy if rebuilding for next season (which i more or less am doing).

Thx to The South Stags for an honest appraisal. I do believe that I learned a thing or two.

Good luck. I don't say that because I think you need it, but rather because, with a break or two, you could win.

I agree. Your chances are slim.

The question then slides to The Cross Chargers & In Your Face. Will they agree to TIE or fight to win, like real basketball teams? (I once had a team ask me to mutual TIE in the USA Cup Finals !! - Good Grief !! )

Team-to-Team arrangements about effort in competitive games should be banished, even if it would be hard to enforce. That's bush-league BS ...

When the game is of little or no meaning, there is no reason why owners should not confer & come to agreements about how best to approach the game, with an eye towards benefiting both teams as much as possible. This parallels pro teams talking to each other about strategy & lineups prior to pre-season games. But, when it comes down to serious, consequential games, there is no place for owner-to-owner agreements (or discussion) about lineups &/or effort.

I don't mean to single out In Your Face or The Cross Chargers. Being around since Season 9, I've learned that most owners make all sorts of sordid arrangements. I think BB would be way better off with an official policy against effort/lineup arrangements in competitive games ...

Exactly how you define "competitive games" is beyond me

So Dmitri, I hear you are saying you would like to have a mutual TIE in the final next week?

So, there were no pre-game messages. so a pure competitive game
I am certainly disappointed with the perfomance of my guys, we have missed a unique oportunity
But, anyway congrats to CChargers and Delta9! you can now agree a MCT

congrats indeed to the Chargers and Delta -- glancing over the history of the Cup, no non-NBBA squad has ever won the Cup, so i am glad to see that streak intact.

on a different topic -- i am guessing Tucumcari has been training GS, maybe for a couple of weeks. (that plus HCA for the playoffs makes for a literally unbeatable combination.) if this is true, i am trying to figure out Cipriani's story, who is notable for having an inept GS.
-- has he been banished from practices?
-- drugs? women? late nights? missed curfews? Taco Bell at midnight?
-- since he is the youngest, maybe his GS is the result of too much work, some hazing. or working on his high school term paper.
i can't figure it.

All of the above. Cipriani is a "special" player. Now that I'm deep into overextension, this will probably be his last week. 2500/week is just too much.

I heard he was a Johnny Manziel's Friday Night Party.....he was over with Josh Gordon in the corner doing "something"

that was a memorably ugly game last night on TV --

five players for the Register-Guard fouled out, as did Mikuska for the Rocket Scientists.

the Scientists shot 6 for 72 from the free throw line.

both teams have been banned from any further appearances on TV.
