Freedom is paying 1.2m more than Rocket Science did for a 200k guard, nice. Trying to get my team more Steveish and give Logsdon a chance. Lets red, white, and blue this

jfarb- you did the right thing. If I had the means to support the payroll like you do, I would have done the same thing. Besides, my 200k guard cannot even make it on the NT, and based on the way I have been losing games, he is not exactly fitting in... may have some chemistry problems with the rest of the squad that I hope they work through quickly.

Big thanks to Harper for buying Ade Maples! Even tho I'm sure its a temporary buy it will be helpful to the NT, and quite scary to the Big 8. With Ritter and Maples I hope your merch goes up quite a bit. Any chance you can train his ID or something? Lol sorry i have to ask

Also thanks to Coco for making a run at buying Bronson, and cws for holding on to Matt Hurst as long as he did.

Right now there aren't too many NT level players on sale, Hurst is again on sale for way too much but thats about it.

It will be interesting to see how much my merch goes up. Depending how much it goes up and if I stay up will probably determine how long I keep him. And I highly doubt I will give him any ID lol, especially since I am training guards. Figure at least keep him in good GS though.

Anybody looking to throw down a few mil for a US NT SF? I'm guessing not, but both of our primary SFs for the NT are on sale.

Bill Weeks (11772141), owned by Wahoowa who is quitting BB. He said he isn't looking to make money, just wants to keep him in America if possible, so contact him if you are interested.

Irwin Velasco is on sale right now for 3.6m. I cant link you to him directly, but just check the US NT roster page.

Other than that, another one of our 300k NT bigs, Lorenzo Bland, is on sale for 600k. Also on NT roster page.

Hubert Douglas' (14600164) owner is looking to sell as well, could be a NT player with some training.

wow, just noticed my cup opponent played 3 starters 110 min last week... & all 3 are still in strong GS!?!

just in general, can a team get away with doing that once or twice a season without much harm to GS? I'd think it's a fluke if only 1 guy, but all 3... wondering if my assumptions about GS have been wrong?

i still remember when i kept my best player under 60 min. the *entire* season. & even trained GS going into the playoffs to guard against BB screwing me over.... The result: you guessed it, respectable GS...!! -_-

I can't speak to the 110 guy, but I've found that (with a massage doc), the sweet spots w/o training GS are 72-80 minutes for most of my players. I think the general consensus of 48-60 minutes that you find in generals is wrong, and that most players "need" 66-72 minutes in a typical week, and that a massage doc lets you exceed the 72 minutes by 4-8 minutes. Some players on my team can even routinely handle 85-90 minutes with the massage doc (though some *cough*Parsons*cough* don't like that many minutes).

I agree this you in that I think the 48-52 (maybe a little higher but in that range) seems lite for some players. I have always wondered if there was a stamina factor as well as playing time the previous week....

From my experience game shape is influenced by the players' minutes from multiple weeks. Also, I'm pretty sure the minutes from a previous season can affect game shape in a current season, which makes the game shape reset somewhat misleading. In the final week of a season I played someone like 140 minutes and in the following season their GS didn't pop until almost the all-star break, despite getting the same minutes as players who had reached proficient GS several weeks earlier and sustained it.
