To all the candidates: If you had 110 skill points to assign to a player (excluding free throw and stamina), how would you allocate them to best suit our team’s needs?


Boy, lots of directions to go here...Here is where one of my trainees is heading:

JS: 15 JR 8
OD: 20 HA 15
DR: 15 PA 15
IS: 9 ID 5
RB: 3 SB 5

110 points. He's being groomed for my Look Inside attack that I run. Only 125K too, so very affordable.


Really? That dude is a one-trick pony. That would make him like the 4th or 5th best guard on our team. I wouldn't play him in many games.

That's why I didn't go with a guard, you can't do any better with 110 points than many on our current NT. That's a solid player for 110, but based on our team needs, we need a nasty big man more, in my opinion.

I agree with namssor, we lose potential NT stars. One way we could try to get foreign owners to try to help us is tell them of the merchandise increase that comes with the NT to help with the salary.

We do seem to be lacking a real look inside point guard, though there isn't much need without a real inside threat. Do you think the NT has a place for more of a true point guard that could score inside at will?

Something along the lines of
JS: 10 JR 5
OD: 20 HA 15
DR: 18 PA 18
IS: 13 ID 5
RB: 1 SB 5

@Buckeye
that is by far the funniest thing i've heard today, but voting for you is like me being so indecisive that i couldn't choice between jessica alba or jessica biel so I choose Rosie O'donald.

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

Absolutely i do. Honestly, the guard I am training has 4 JR right now, and I would much prefer high DR/IS for that purpose...I made him a little more balanced in what I posted because i know that some would freak out at a high level guard with 10 JS...but I agree, there are a games like a guy you created would be a great true PG, and would serve a great purpose!

I would put more time to the NT because I know my team isnt as important as a NT. If it got really bad i would put tasks to people.

I think so, pity he probably wouldn’t be able to stay in decent game shape.

Speaking of which, as the NT manager, would you encourage the creation of a David Tapia style player, even though such a player would be both financially unsustainable for the vast majority of teams and have poor market value for the team that trained him?


Honestly, if I'm the NT manager, hell yes I want a Tapia clone. (Note: Tapia is a $400k monster Center with 20/17/17 big man skills for those who don't know) I'd rather have the option of catching a few weeks of him in good GS than not have him at all. Yes, it sucks financially for the team training him, but I'm sure they're kicking ass in the standings and they have the incentive of getting huge merchandise bonuses for keeping him on the NT and in good GS.

BB salary monsters are good for the NT, and bad for BB in general as it tends to ruin teams, but such is the realities of the game.

I'd prefer the Chuck Rainey platform to the Willis Lundy one myself.

Question for you guys... let's say you had some real-life issue come up during your term, and it temporarily cut into your time available to play around in BB. How would you juggle your own team, and NT responsibilities/communication if you were more time-constrained? Would you delegate more NT tasks to other people (if so, which tasks)? Would you put the importance of NT up front, at expense of your own team?


I would definitely delegate powers if I was away for an extended period of time. There are tons of people who already do great work on the offsite forum that already do most of the work for us haha. I'm also good friends with wozz and jfarb and Edju so I would have no problem asking them to take over the decision-making for any reason.

My club team isn't going anywhere fast, I'm already at the top of mountain, but I'm realistic to know that my team won't be winning any titles any time soon. I've finished between 3rd and 7th all 6 seasons I've been in the NBBA. I can set a lineup in 2 minutes for TWSS and be good to go. Not so for the NT! :-)
