Yes for $500,000 you got triple strong with most other things inept or worse.
I just bought a guy for $500,000 who is much MUCH better than my old C who I paid $2,500,000 for at the start of season 12. I guess I am on both sides of this fence both benefitting and suffering. But it does make all the money involved in scouting and the time, effort and losses in training sem like a waste of time. A friend of mine just bought a young guard about 20 with great potential and sensational/tremendous JS/OD (don't remember which way) for $500,000. How much would it cost you to scout and train a player like that?
