My advice would be: sell some players while they still have value (age-wise) and buy some better, older players in return.
I'd like to have a relatively young team as well, however having all players below the age of 30 is simply too expensive for most managers.

Older players (30+) are usually a lot cheaper, while they bring experience and (more) skill.

Take a look at for example Steve Teriyaki's team (23706), who replied in this thread too and is playing in the NBBA in your country. 6 of his 8 best players are 30 or older. Most teams are built this way: trainees being (a little) younger, all/most other players being older.

Get doctor lvl 2 with "Massage" speciality and try to get lvl 4 trained when youll change old one with "Fitness" speciality. They both combined help to keep forms of your players very high, even if you outplay or underplay minutes. Trainer over lvl 4 not worth, unless you have drafted like 65+skillspoints MVP+ potencial guy and making him multiskilled beast for NT.

From ratings i would say our Outside defence average is like only lvl 11 or so on guards. Make it 13+, i prefer 14. Also rebounding seems very low, you getting killed by second chances. PF dont require alot rebounding, but center with 11 or 12 rebounding is a must at your level. Also try to play with tactics, and try to buy if rebuilding guards with higher passing, wouldnt go pg-sf bellow lvl 8. Try to get with lvl 7+ IS and/or ID too, so you could play more varied tactics with your team. The difference running guard with lvl 3 and lvl 7 IS on LI tactics for example is huge, might be around 20% TSP. Try to build team to play efficiently on atleast 2 tactics, so you can be toorisky to quess GDP.

I would not buy any of 40k or more salary guys unless you know how correctly to use them. Usually it is way better to have 5 ~20k salary guys and 2-3 10k backups.

Also good idea is to use like (http://www.buzzer-manager.com), see your league teams average statistics. Look where you are at offense/defense efficiency/ To/pa rating etc... You would always want to be atleast alittle above middle of league average (not including bots) of every category to compete for promotion.

Also try to get good at scouting opponents. Sometimes they have like 30k center or PF for example, but they are one sided, for example offense based. So you can feel week spots and attack them with your best scorer placed there. Also try to look for most efficient/high scoring players of your oponents and try to defend them with your best defenders. Basicly this game is game of missmatches, you should try to make as much as possible of these ones.
