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


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! :-)

Considering NT games are once a week even if I was only able to get on once a week I could still mange the NT, but if the team started to slip I would get some input from other people. I would get them to help me with what tactics to play. Since I am in league IV I could easily get my wins back if I needed to.
