Here's the standard thread for talking smack, giving props, analyzing. rankings, or anything else we might like to do. I'll start it off with total salaries. Sorted by the total salary after subtracting players up for sale. The numbers are: total salary - player salary for players up for sale - player salary after sale (notes in parens):
B8 - Redstones - $201,530 - $2,613 - $198,917 (strong looking team)
G8 - K12 - $174,134 - $0 - $174,134 (21 players - one accounts for 25% of all salary)
B8 - Philadelphia Giants - $166,970 - $0 - $166,970 (shallow roster)
G8 - Knickerbockers (that's me!) - $146,113 - $0 - $146,113
B8 - Team Checkmate - $144,435 - $0 - $144,435 (Their PG accounts for ~50% of their total salary)
G8 - Dough Boy$ - $185,977 - $45,391 - $140,586
G8 - Yellow Bellied Sappsuckers - $128,552 - $0 - $128,552
G8 - The Heats - $123,455 - $0 - $123,455
G8 - Navajo Nation Advent - $117,270 - $2,966 - $114,304
G8 - Boston3Party (winner of the best name award) - $129,277 - $20,691 - $108,586
B8 - Montana HeadBangers - $106,257 - $0 - $106,257 (very shallow roster)
B8 - Lay Down the Law - $105,184 - $0 - $105,184
G8 - divinedragons - $96,150 - $0 - $96,150 (one player accounts for over 1/3 of all salary)
B8 - Jewish Mob - $107,251 - $12,478 - $94,773
B8 - Catzzz - $97,743 - $6,913 - $90,830
B8 - Miami Heat AC - $96,142 - $0 - $96,142 (25 players)
All in all both conferences look solid at the top, but the Great 8 seems a lot deeper. Obviously salary isn't everything and anything can change - let's see how things progress!
