I just asked a group of people to talk about Anselmo Elia & his defense. (5792217) They did.

"How about that Anselmo Elia. That's some defense he plays...", said one person. "It sure is!", replied another. "I enjoy talking about Anselmo Elia & his defense", exclaimed a third person. "What is Anselmo Elia?", asked a fourth person. "A liar", I answered.

I know this is only temporary and a function of the scheduling, but I'm impressed that I have 3 of the top 4 scorers and rebounders in the NBBA this week. I've never seen that one before...

Has any NBBA team ever broken $1M in salary for the starting 5? Looks like Rocket Science is there...

weird move... he already had the 6th highest payroll without that $370k guy & still has an 0-5 record at the moment. maybe he decided to just buy a spot in the NBBA next season? -_-
(just speculation of course)

sinibaldi is indeed quite interesting.

I had to buy him. Skillwise, my new SG and C don't match very well. I think Sinibaldi is a much more complementary.

I'll probably end up selling everyone soon to tank the season.

But in the meantime you feel like eating away your cash balance? If thats the case I'll happily take some cash off your hands.

yes, I play the game for fun, and it is not much fun just tanking. Besides, I might never get back to the NBBA again, so might as well enjoy the ride while I am here - my reserves were stockpiled with the intention of buying enjoyment. So long as it is virtual money. You are right though, in that if this was real money, I would make completely different decisions. :)

but how is it "fun" basically doubling the salary of half the teams' starters? it's to the point where even if you won out the rest of the season, it's a non-accomplishment. & anything less is a complete failure.

i mean someone could sign up for a new BuzzerBeater account, login once a month for a few years (stockpiling their reserves), then buy the "enjoyment" of 5 $50k starters in div 5... would you honestly find that scenario "fun" too? No offense, but when one's only "tactic" is spending a boatload of $ more than everyone else, it's incredibly lame.

aside from not being a fan of the whole buying wins thing, doing so is essentially screwing over a bunch of teams. you'd clearly auto-relegate, even with the 6th highest payroll. so now, you force a non-deserving team into 8th. congratulations? and you force even tougher teams into the 6th & 7th slots, meaning the other conference gets screwed in relegation matchups. congratulations again?

anyway just my opinion.
(& yes, before it comes up, i could easily spend the same amount. probably even more. guessing many other teams could too...)
