Hello guys, I'm new to this league. I won my last league. I thought I had a pretty good team until I seen what you guys have.
Just a question what do you guys normally get for the tv contract and merchandise?? Also do most people sell out there arena?? I'm not sure if I should purchase a few more players or not. Don't want to buy players and then realise I am in the minus.
Blinky out

I have got a fairly good arena so I don't sell out but yours is a lot smaller.

Last season TV was $85,000 a week and merchandise was about $50,000 a week. Arena varied a lot, some weeks as bad as $230,000 others as good as $270,000. I think mine are a bit above the league averages though.

Hard to say what is a good team. I think I had a much better team than Mayhem but they won so who knows. :((( I sure pay them a lot lol.

Buying players is up to you, I prefer training them but it can be very slow.

Wow, that's a lot more than Div IV. Tv was $60k, merch was $16k and I had the biggest arena getting the most people in and was only getting $85k on a good day. Mind you I was losing $25k a week.

I have been training 2 players but I just dont want to go down to Div IV again. I might look at maybe getting 1 or 2 more. Maybe I can try and be a contender. LOL.

I guess it doesn't matter how expensive your players are, it all comes down to tactics I guess.

Lol yeah :)

I think with 2 good traineed & 3 decent players in the other spots you should be able to stay up & make a big profit each week. I'm making a $20,000 a week loss but it is fine I can last seasons like this. :)))

lol I expect so but Richardson looks good, I'll make sure I put a good defender on him, lol jokes all my guys are good defenders! :)))

After last season going 22-0 but then losing badly in the finals I need to pull something out cause my team wont be getting any younger and for the first time ever this season I am switching to 1 position training after 10 seasons of 2 position training. First season ever Jose wont be trained & first season since they were drafted that Warrum & Elliott wont be trained. Will be interesting.

Something went wrong in the finals last season but besides that my team is ok. After Nghiem Nguyên my next 4 best players are all small forwards Warrun, Jose, Elliot & Yuan who can all play PG-PF. Try & find another team like that. They all have inside & outside skills. :))) You can't judge them by their salary. You will get better. Don't forget I had home court & that is aslo a large factor.
