He'd probably have more trouble finding a 200K beast who would only play 9 minutes in said B3 game ;)

Shhhh - Mate im on the hard sell, dont want facts like that surfacing

Bris on the way up and up and up. A few more wins, and they may buy a few more players. Team to watch!

Hes performing better with a cheap roster than what he was with an expensive one

I want him, I have the money, he fits my training perfectly, but holy cow if I do have I just handed Sid another ABBL championship or three?

Depends if you think he's worth 2.9m or not ;).

I sincerely hope that you get him then as id personally love for him to go to a great home like what you would provide.

With regards to how the sale will benefit my team;

It will hurt my cup chances as I will be a rotation down.
Will be the start of a major restructure that will see other players (including Ott) sold
(The loss of salary efficient players like Ott & Palmeri will significantly reduce my chances of winning next seasons league title)

Money raised during restructure will be used to buy & sustain a mega roster for B3 (so will burn off money rather than save it)
Money raised will also help fund a better trainer
Quietly confident of winning this seasons ABBL championship with or without restructure
Will be selling down and finding new trainees at the end of next season at the latest, regardless of what happens


With regards to Palmeri and what he offers a buyer;

Ease of fitting into training plans
Outside shot

Salary efficient SFs are what teams are built around as they allow teams to afford the 150K plus players & they also allow teams to be highly competitive whilst saving money

2.9mil and only going for the this seasons ABBL? Selling yourself short there =P

I clearly do not have 2.9mil but if I did, I would be going for Cup, league and B3. All in one season.

I do have between 1 to 2mil for Palmeri though, so if you do relist him (which I think what would happen) for $1, then you might be able to see how much money I have to splash around.

Like I said, if you were serious about selling Palmeri or Brethes then you wouldve listed them for $1. But you didnt =P

Im financial enough to win this seasons ABBL championship and possibly next without having a major restructure of my team.

As I said in my previous post the idea of restructuring my team was to have a real crack at this seasons B3 which will involve running at a few hundred K a week loss for several weeks

Mind you if you had of started some of your better players on Wednesday night, you would have been on top of the B3 table.

Good defensively balanced Aussie SFs who are only 25yo are IMO worth more than 2 mill

edit

Palmeri is a year younger than Ryder and despite my extra efforts with Ryder, he is not that far behind if at all when the difference in age is considered

Palmeris true worth is not that he can match it in the ABBL as a starting SF, but instead is the fact that he could continue to do so for another 8 seasons and potentially save his owner in excess of 40 K per week for that period of time for a player of comparative performance.

I.e. 40k x 13 x 8 is about 4.16mill he could save a potential purchaser over a player of comparative performance.

A good SF IMO is almost a ticket for promotion from div 2 and the associated million in promotion money. (Hell Pedrosa earned me a couple of mill in promotion money)

Promotion money is very handy for teams who want to undertake a long time build which can involve bouncing between divisions

As mentioned he is a whisker away from having 15 in ID and I suspect is quite close to a couple of other pops.

Good teams are not built around 200K players but instead salary efficient players who enable you to afford other key players

Just added Quincy Riviera and a few other players to my teams Hall Of Fame

Riviera has now played exactly 100 games for my team and at his most expensive was around the 108 K

His average rating for those 100 games which have all been in Div 1 or II is 16.9.

Despite being 34 years old and having dropped quite a few skills he is currently the equal 7th highest rating player in the ABBL for season 28 with an average rating of 17.1, which is a higher rating than what Brent Degas has had for this season.

Iwen is a genius

Totally correct, Iwen has been Australia's best trainer, wish he had a current project.
