deadmeat,
first of all, i think in the old days that guy mighta been low 220s, depending on the sublevel of the skills.
So it seems like the new system screwed you.
With the potential and height, this will sound counter-intuitive, but if you are stuck with him, you might want to train... wait for it... shot blocking.
this i was usually the worst skill to train because it jacked up salary costs disproportionately to what i felt was the value added. With the new salary system this isnt quite as true though, and you might get less screwed
Of course, the upside is it should train relatively quickly for you and you would of course still have that defensive anchor.
the final issue is while your income in the nbba could support training a SF type (see the earlier discussion on steven smiley), i think 260k a week is going to be tough on anyone. You are going to be faced next season at the latest with the old club vs country conundrum. That said, ther is a reasonable chance my guard training ends next season, and i would be interested in the guy (only arreola is really worth training for me at this point).
i realize that isnt the answer you are looking for but it's my honest opinion.
