I was willing to pay 1M if the right guy required that, I just got lucky to get my guy for about 450k. Well done, I look forward to running him off against my trainee!!

nice bargain you got there! unless ur training ur guy as a SF, they wont meet, my guy will be PG only...

I am hoping by the time he is 21, he is as good if not better than Robinot.. So more than happy to invest in the Dreamers future... We now have the exact roster of trainees i was hoping for, only downer is my SF is 19 :(

Dont expect the dreamers to win to many games this season... training is my sole focus... hopefully we can avoid relegation, but if not there are worse things in life :D

I had a quick look at the French U21 team b4, it really didnt look stacked, 21 year olds with 5k salaries.. so hopefully, he can get a run!

Skyhook that trainee looks brilliant and I am sure you wont regret it. Even while I have been in the hunt for the championship I have still slowly been adding the prefect trainees and I transitioned from centers to point guards. Now I finally have 3 I am happy with.

Craig Harris (19609544) Shooting Guard
Weekly salary: $ 6 132
Age: 19
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: superstar
Draft pick after a season of tanking.

Paul Presley (18150539) Shooting Guard
Weekly salary: $ 8 768
Age: 20
Height: 6'4" / 193 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Cost me $400,000 but already on the U21 team.

Paki Mokitimi (21650728) Small Forward
Weekly salary: $ 5 608
Age: 19
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: MVP
Cost me $500,000 and also already on the U21 team.


So I have three young guns and with potentials of perennial allstar, superstar and MVP I don't think I will be having issues with them capping this time. Cost me a million and a season, but you know, they are the future of my team so I think they are a great investment.

nicely done! training is the most important part of this game, and last year i learnt ALOT training Atoy that i will be able to take into this season.. My guy is prolly very similar to your 2 19 year olds looking at salaries, but the fact he is 18 is a huge bonus to me...

Without seeing any ratings, Harris looks to me to be the pick of the bunch.. Sure Mokitimi has better pot, but Harris should be slightly easier to train guard skills and looks a bit ahead of Moki at this stage.

I have a different strategy to you slightly.. Not training 3 rooks, but training Chan and 2 rooks.. So hopefully by end of season my best player will be better, and will have 2 guys ready to contribute..

Why waste a season paying 160k per week in salaries when i cant win? i figure i might as well re-boot and plan for the future..

Hopefully 1 day our guys can battle it out against each other on the U21 stage :P

just kidding, that's a fantastic pick up.
