Thank you for your reply - I have been using your calculator program to make my decisions which led me to the question I asked. BTW - thank you very much for making your observations public. When I look at the transfer list and the player skills I find it difficult to discern what drives the salary component - something you have spent a lot of time doing. For example - what skills the BB's think a point guard should have optimally is not something I can readily understand from my own experience playing and evaluating basketball. In the point guard example it is obvious to me that od, handling, and passing should be the most important skills, but there are many secondary skills that would be very useful like js and jr and perhaps driving or rebounding (or not ?). Anyway it is fun to try and figure it out and I hope that the BB's would make salary more variable and less important in evaluating players.
