its funny you know, looking at the division now - i dont really see a team that, if they won, would really be ready for ABBL. IM sure hadders, corio, ho adicts, and possibly crockers have a pile of dough stashed away, but nobody has really steeled themselves for a run at the title.

its like everyone is just waiting it out for the time being - scouting dollars are way down (But look at that merchandising average! woot!), staff salaries are up from last season and player salaries are about the same, yet average league income is quite large at the moment - maybe its relative - last season may have been lower than usual.

comparing to other Div II's though, this division seems a little tame now. or perhaps, a little too tame?

So whats everyone doing? can't be aiming for 5th anymore, thats just wank-play now. Both divisions are quite competitive so relegation zone is quite dangerous this year - yet there is no panic, no shoring up of teams, no short term strategic purchases, quite afew long term trainee purchases, 20/21 year olds being bought, with MVP potential etc.

so cmon spill! I want to know whats ur deal peeps!

Not anymore, by the end of the night I may have spent more than 7 mill on players in the last month

I'd be interested to see the skills of your latest purchase.
1.4mil for a 6'4 PF, PA potential. 42k salary... inside SF?

Last season we started real bad mon, 4 losses & 1 win. Made changes. From then on 11-6. So the Windies weren't that bad last season. :) Sure far from ready for the ABBL but we have a huge pile of $ hidden under our matress cause we weren't far from the salary floor for a lot of last season paying just $ 211 332 a week. :D.

It is up to $ 325 007 a week this season so proifits are way down but still making nearly $ 200 000 a week profit!!!

Economy is great!!! We have below league salaries, way below staff, higher than league merch & gate. So making a lot each week. I think Hadley will be a star & Coop is a scoring freak but the rest of the team probably needs an upgrade.

We have been known to buy up late season before so could make a move. Depends if my head is clear or not lol...

23 career triple doubles is the most i've ever seen , so that's impressive for sure.
the couple this season have been in cup games against junk opposition.
maybe coz i'm tanking Sid will just PM me his stats and i'll promise to tell noone :)

Nothing worse than guests bringing cheap wine to dinner, then proceeding to drink all of your good stuff...


I plan to do zero bringing and plenty of drinking :-p

First off I paid too much for him and He is definately more PF than SF

Probably wont get much training for the next 2 seasons but when I start giving me 3 aussie HOFs JS & Driving he just might get some.

Attraction for me was good secondaries, value for salary performance, he's only 24 years old and he's an Aussie

Players who have affordable salaries which they can way outperform, really are the nucleous of a good Div 2 or ABBL team

Your guesses were

IS - Over
ID - Under
RB - Under
JS - Over
JR - Under
DR - Over

Passing, Handling and OD were all quite good

Would rather have paid 300K less for him, but I expect he will be on my payroll for another 6 or 7 seasons.

Did have 8 mill in the bank not long ago and had set me the goal of reentering the ABBL with 10 mill in the kit.

I Might promote and relegate before I can achieve that goal
