That is true. I agree with you 100%

but I rather use the nba than a euro team because euro player don't play taxes on their salaries.( I hope you get the joke).

I'm not going to get into my personal team because this not a personal issue it a bb issue. There for im going to keep it on BB. I just used my team for a example even if did buy and keep them for 10 seasons. Because the player were trained by the team for 10+ season. as for me If they ere on team for 10 season or /we amount who trained them. even if they were capped they get training. I still paid for trainer to train them every week. they popped in training for 10 season by my trainer.

That goes for every team on BB. Every team has back log of training and trained every week . My Pg has been on team for 10+ yrs. Has 232 games played.

true about the market overreacting. Myself, I'm still not affected, I still have a small surplus and I keep now a 103k tax exemption, with a 21-y/o MVP-potential Center still developing [I had him all last season in secondaries, so he saw only a small bump in salary], so my training exemption will grow. Luckily, in advance of these changes, preannounced -although mildly- last season, I already had a good trainer in place [lvl 5, 20k salary, for 300k buy].

Now, the interesting thing is when thinking developing other positions in my team [like SF, or PG], which I would like to start next season, I find now difficult to get 4 draft point per week to do at least a decent scouting. With the OET, I find these points obviously more valuable than before. I haven't looked at the market now for juveniles, but my guess is these guys will go $tunningly crazy. Besides, maybe people don't notice it, but there's a good slice of marketing for having your OWN draftees developed. Perhaps they don't get in the U21, but if you get one of these dudes to lead your league in anything [points, rebounds, etc], they will be worth the pain.

So all of this apparently "random" thoughts all get in the mix of strategy. It's not like the OET made them this way, no. They were like that before. But, like you said, with the market fluctuating, and people going expensive for a 18-y-o Franchise player, you kind of feel more of an urgency to clean your economy, have a good draft and develop. Basically, you want to turn into the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder, and not the Brooklyn Nets. That's TOUGH to do on the fly.

I hadn't expected the staff to be included, unfortunately I had just bought a L6 doctor (after a season ruined by injuries) whose salary is going to go up really quickly and at some point soon, will have to replace. Luckily I have some room before I hit the OET though.

wow, you're full of australian players! nice. although the guy you're selling wasn't trained by you, so full OET gain there, if you're not in surplus. can you tell us your difference in marketing merchadise sales with the league average?

oh, no, the staff is not included in OET. but the previous trainer was a train wreck for my economy: it was a 70k-salary lvl 6 good, honest worker, who jumped about 1200-1500 salary per week. since i wasn't training to sell, keeping him would have meant to adventure into a risky strategy. i have rarely trained to sell. now with the OET, i don't know. maybe if you trained as a second trainee a low-level potential guy, like a star [lvl 5] up to 20k, 30k, and then explore the market for countries with populous low divisions [DIII, DIV, and DV]. but... don't think it's worth it. maybe a waste of time and resources. plus, these guys too surely would have OET issues. so there's that.

Don't think I quite understand how staff fits into all of this tax thing
can someone please give as simple an explanation as possible

Staff is just a normal part of expenses I thought?

"you kind of feel more of an urgency to clean your economy, have a good draft and develop"




I agree at same time, not every team can have a good draft on BB. Because of training speeds and certain picks are shot before you even start.

True but anyone can purchase a trainee.... and then train them.

anyone can train existing players on their team....
