Extremely positive cash flow


What to do with the cash?


Should I or should I not?

and if I do when?

and if I do, do I really need the home court advantage?

There are rumours flying around that many leagues have 18 yos with 5/5 ratings. But to answer your question i will not spend one scouting point

Everyone knows that Vis has a 5/5 A+ 18 year old locked up in his draft but in the top leagues there have been a lot of bad drafts recently. Look at II.3 last season.

II.3 Draft

With the first pick Mad Rangas select Clive Schneider a $2k MVP who sold for $270,000. Almost certainly less than they spent on scouting.
With the second pick Wagadugu Hippopotamuses select Jared Gasnier another $2k MVP who sold for under $200,000.
With the third pick CROCKERS picked blind and got a role player.
With the fourth pick Mayhem select Nigel Mischler a $3k perennial allstar who sold for $5,000.

Of those forst four picks the team that got the best deal was CROCKERS who got the worthless players for nothing, the others probably made a massive loss.

ABBL draft

With the first pick Lewisham Wombats select Lote Fulci an almost $4k superstar who they sold for $28,000.
With the second pick adams guns select Byron Durakovic a $3k perennial allstar.
With the third pick West Island Tigers select Martyn Hafoka a $2k perennial allstar.

Loss, loss, loss. The draft is close to worthless now unless you have the one of the top picks and even then it is a lottery with a 90% chance that you get players you could have picked up from the TL for peanuts.

The second round draft picks are the gems :P
Vladimir Radak (27605651)was pick 30 in the season 21 draft by Koopasaurus.
Just sucks that I have to toggle between trying to win some games in the ABBL and getting proper training for Radak.

I can beat that, he doesn't compare with your guy but here is my home grown trainee.

Armand Fyfe (27605614)Owner: Chelsea Seagulls
Weekly salary: $ 5 225
Age: 19
Height: 6'4" / 193 cm
Potential: allstar

Armand Fyfe was pick 45 in the season 21 draft by Chelsea Seagulls.

The potential is a problem but he already has eight skills at respectable or more and only Shot Blocking is less thn mediocre. It will be funny to have a #45 draft pick one day playing meaningful minutes (as a backup) in the ABBL if I stick with him.

He is no nathan fyfe but good pick up nonetheless. Does those eight skills include stamina and free throw?

Seeing as he is a young trainee I guess there is no point keeping him secret.

Armand Fyfe (27605614)
Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 5 225
Age: 19
Height: 6'4" / 193 cm
Potential: allstar
Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: proficient
Driving: strong Passing: strong
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: average Free Throw: respectable

Maybe he doesn't seem that amazing but he has never been a high priority in my training compared to Barton, Kumar and Dexter but he has had 13 pops since being drafted (shows how bad he was and why he was pick #45).

mmmm mmm all fascinating stuff, but it doesnt answer my question! :)

so we have Sid not spending any dough.
I know matty doesnt believe in the draft, so the vipers are out.
TAK i think i remember at some stage also expressing his lack of interest in the draft.

so thats 3 teams at least i know of tha arent drafting.

I again won't be drafting. No value for me in it and I have my 3 trainees for the next 2 or 3 seasons.
