He was an MVP shooting guard with respectable JS and JR not sure of the rest of his skills. Sold him for 600k. Does anyone know what Jersey Knicks was thinking when he bought a 21 year old $6000 for 500k? Seems a little expensive.

I think differently than like everyone else in buzzerbeater. i want players that i can put into action and can contribute immediately. everyone else likes buying players young and training them thats why your player was sold so high and jersey knicks bought that one guy.

I agree with you buying players that can immediatly produce. However Jersey Knicks just paid top dollar for a player that probably can't be trained much longer (maybe this season and two more) and for 500k he could have gotten 2 players twice as good that can contribute now.

I hope for his sake that was the case, otherwise it was a major waste of money. But he is one of my competitors so it only can help my cause.

Ya, I know kinda unlucky for you that your PF got injured and your center fouled out. I see you as the best team in our division right now, and it was a televised game, so I wanted to give myself an extra boost. Hopefully my enthusiasm won't come back to bite me. We meet again at your place later.

Excellent analysis, this is what the forums are for! +1 for you. Two Issues with your comments.

First, and you did address this, the Georgia Heat, are one injury away from being irrelevant, and in this league there have been a lot of injuries (See Oggagalites, Bloomington Saints, Shooter Tutors). So unless their depth is addressed it is hard to call them a "power house" team.

Second and most importantly, I think you failed to point out your own (Oggagalites) glaring deficiency, your finances. I did a little investigation to see if tanking a season to get a good draft pick was a good option.

1.) Because you lost your last 13 games, your fans hate your guts, so they don't come out to your games. Your last home game you drew less than 3000 fans. Which by my quick math netted you somewhere in the neighborhood of $63,000 well below anyone else in this league.

2.) Your roster which is formidible, is greatly overpriced for this league, costing you a whopping $170,000 a week!

3.) Let's say you are in the middle of the pack for the rest of the finacial items (staff, scouting, merchandise, etc) therefore your weekly net income all things considered is around: - $64,000.

Conclusion: not sure if tanking a season is the best way to create a "power house" team.
