Update:

Not too many NTers on sale unless any of you are filthy rich and want to buy Joe Bronson, Bill Weeks, or Hubert Douglas.

One guy I wanted to mention if anyone is interested is Alton Johnson (11773608). Warning though, his estimated salary for next season is 250k, it might be less than that because I think he has low sublevels but I'm not sure, and you will get 30k from merch if he is on the NT...but yea he might go for a high price since bigs with good subs are rare.

Other than that, if you are interested in buying a high potential rookie, there is this guy: (22096507).

^ Yea he was on the team until a week ago, when we cut players because we were 0-7 and the season was over. We've been playing all American owned players recently

Just want to point out I made 169k this week in merchandising. I am really seeing the boost for having 3 NTers. I am curious to see how that compares to Steve's merch total, but looking at the average I am pretty sure that is one of the top amounts in the league. I can see how owning US NTers could give you that additional fiinancial flexibility that could be a difference maker in this ultra competivie league.

169k wow! League average is 94, tho I'm guessing for those without a NT player its maybe in the 80s?

Yea the merch is the difference for me, I had a 820k salary team most of this season and was making a profit weekly, tho with 0 scouting and bare minimum staff. Couldn't afford Dube & Logsdon without the merch $. Mine is 154k/wk, but it varies. Goes from about 90 to 120 with 1 200k NTer, and 120 to 150 with 2 200kers. So my 210k guards are actually 180k guards.

There is some risk though, obviously the NT roster is competitive, and making the roster is no sure thing for any player not named Bronson. If they do make the roster its possible they might not see minutes in any given week due to GS or the gameplan. Even Logsdon wasn't on the roster most of this season. But if you buy a high salary American we try our best to support you and get those players on the team.

So if you are thinking of buying a 200k big, maybe a 250k USA NTer like Johnson might be a better option ;)

I may pick up another big man, so I'll consider Alton.

I have 2 NTs, but I'm no where near the big money (Spain backup,Shqipëria starter). I had no idea you could get that much in merch...

Hit 191k with this weeks update which is just ridiculous if you ask me. I am sure it helps since I drafted Ritter, but I am definitely sold on the value of going American.

191k is probably the record for the NBBA I'm guessing. Makes sense tho, cuz I think the merch revenue is about 25-30% of the players salary as long as they play that week, and since we went with an All American lineup all 3 of your guys got playing time. So you get around 50k for Maples and 25k a piece for Good and Ritter = about 100k in extra merch over league average?

That makes sense, as I made 110k compared to last week's 77k.... so Owen's is worth 43k to me when he plays.

As a Math teacher I feel obligated to say 110k-77k = 33k. Okay, I feel better now. Carry on...
