Wolph, I get what you're saying, and I think everyone actually gets it. But I think you're looking at extreme ends of the scale.
The reality is that we cannot see the skills of other NTs/U21 teams. In lieu of being able to see skills on other teams, all we can do is speculate... and like it or not, salary remains part of that.

If you guys all realized how overrated ID/IS are, how overrated extreme PA is, how overrated JS is...and how much all 4 of those stats are costing you week to week...you might have some bling in your case.

Come on man... your own "bling" has come with a whole lotta circumstance.
And on your points of what skills are worthy, and which aren't - I refuse to believe that there is only one path to success. What I've seen in my limited time here definitely does not bear that out.

Hey...I stand corrected....It says our salaries were identical for the finals. Both of us were around 710K. Lot of salary drops for you old guys and mine too. But..I can admit when I am wrong.. Looking at the two games...It was rebounding and that Krejci fellow....Not bad..

I am about to stir the salary pot again.

What is this BUM doing on the NT instead of my star?

$20k salary against $50k salary. Oh, you guys don't like salary? How about DMI, lucky they are both proficient 780k (which would make him 6th best on the team this week a certain backup with Rikkio Eguchi injured) vs 274k. Ok don't like DMI. Passing? TK was 5th in the whole JBBL last season. Defence? TK has great defence for his age but I suspect they are similar. Handling & driving no chance. JR I will confess he probably has but that is one of the reasons TK ONLY has a $50k salary. The 1 think Sendai may have is good inside skills, slumming it in d2/3 against bots last season let him do a lot of inside training, but if they were so great wouldn't they show up in the DMI?

PS: No offence Man-Month I like you as a manager & as a trainer of Nippon players but this seems very far off the mark.

I'll give you two points to help you understand.

First, this is an example of where Salary and DMI don't tell you everything. If you look at TSP Sendai is actually a little ahead of Kawagichi.

Second, Sendai is really a SF where your guy is a guard. Our depth is much stronger at guard which makes it tougher for your guy to crack the depth chart. Sendai will be top 3 SF by next season and should be able to challenge Tsunami long-term.

Read what I wrote again.

OK so going unselfish, send me Sendai's skills and I can give my opinion

Now Taiyo....I hope you are not sending Woplh other JBBL teams player skill sets. I know I won't be the only one to find this disturbing. I voted for you, not you and Wolph. In fact...I heard of a NT manager who got impeached for doing this very act(sending his friend the skill sets a player of a team he was about to play) in season 10. Please say it isn't so...
Mythical Mothman should be the only one to send Wolph Sendai's skill set. That is not the NT manager's job.
