lol

Yello, Homies. Good luck this season, for anyone going for it. I'm not sure. Got a decent draftee, haven't decided, if I'm going to try and go home grown or not. I still have a few pieces, but it will take many seasons to complete it.

Anyways, come here to look for predictions, rankings, what not. I type a lot, so if your active, we can have a good time.

Double R.
(326152.1) if you want to see some of what I did last season.

Whats up my dude(s), thankfully just got booted from league 3. Look forward to chilling a bit! Good luck this season.

Hey All, well after looking at a few of the salaries here, it looks like I will be FIGHTING for a 4th place finish in the division....

The Buckner Bandits are a home grown team, no transfer purchases and just working on building through the draft and training.

We had a decent draft for some Bigs so I am training those for the next few seasons while we continue to work on our arena size.

Hope everyone has a great season and if you are pushing for promoting, good luck! :-)

I was wondering if you were homegrown. Today is my wifes birthday, so I haven't had much time to look at everyones teams. I did see that most of your's were American, though so I was wondering.

Happy birthday to the Mrs!!

Ive been playing BB off and on since season 20s so this time around I wanted to try the homegrown method....

I kinda goofed a bit and started heavy training to early before I really expanded my arena, so my profit margin is slim, but its just a game and in good fun!

Mrs Lit gets me the supporter package each year for Christmas, so thats been fun.

Hope you have a great evening bud!

Buckner Bandits Season 68 Preview

Season 68 marks a fresh start for the Buckner Bandits as they enter a new league, Division IV (IV.32). The team is adjusting to the landscape, noting that the division features several active and competitive managers, setting the stage for an exciting season.

Reflecting on Last Season

The Bandits wrapped up Season 67 with a respectable 4th place finish in their previous division, though they fell in the first round of the playoffs. This year, the competition appears just as tough, and early predictions suggest the Bandits will once again have to fight hard to secure a playoff spot.

Roster and Training Updates

One of the most significant changes this season is the focus on youth development. After successful guard training, Mick Hunt and Kevin Moore are primed to play pivotal roles. The coaching staff is determined to make up for lost training time from a few seasons ago when life got in the way.

The Bandits’ first pick in the draft, Greyson Tobin, has generated considerable excitement. Although he wasn’t the initial top choice, Tobin’s Hall of Fame potential makes him a valuable addition. Known for his inside skills and impressive passing, Tobin could quickly become a fan favorite.

Also joining the team is Sidney McCann, an 18-year-old, 7-foot project player. Though raw, his All-Star potential warrants significant development time, and the Bandits are committed to getting him on the court as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Steve Davis, a 6'3" guard, was initially placed on the transfer list but found no suitors. With reliable depth already in place thanks to Eluterio Aillon, Davis may find himself cut from the roster.

Financial Outlook and Future Plans

Financially, the Bandits are stable and looking to expand the arena. One question looming is the future of their youth trainer, contingent on McCann’s progress this season. The team hopes to maintain stability within Division IV and build a strong foundation for the future.

Final Thoughts

As Season 68 unfolds, the Buckner Bandits aim to compete in a challenging division while nurturing young talent. Fans can look forward to seeing how the rookies develop and whether the team can break through the competition. Here’s to a healthy and successful season!

Vatican Vipers Season 68 Preview

Unsure of plan, still considering, going homegrown, but with potentially, only get 1 player a season to build with. It may take a while. This will give me time to phase out my other trainees, I've grown attached to.

I may also do some arena building.

Final Thoughts

I've heard taht if you spend more then $500K at a time building your arena you get a merchandise bonus. The same with spending a million or more at a time. From what I've discovered. If its true, it isn't much. So I'm wondering if there is really a benefit to doing a complete homegrown team?

For those that don't know this is my 3rd run on Buzzerbeaters. I managed oo Pwnstarz oo (31000)
and Sophy's Slammers, though I can't find them. Odd.
