I'm too poor and/or picky. But mostly poor. HoF pot guys that you could train further go for way too much. And I don't think MVP pot guards could make team USA.

Wait, just checking our your list, how can anyone with Superstar pot make the NT? You're incredibly limited in what the build could look like.

I think you can still find an NT SF build that could be done with superstar, but it's iffy. Otherwise, yeah, I doubt you're going to see many more SS's on the NT.

Superstar guard? Maybe you mean Rodriguez? Rodriguez is a SF. Superstar guards would need a very specific build, agreed.

MVP guards can make it, Ritter and Dennison are good examples of MVP guards who have contributed to the NT. Ugona is HOF, but is less than MVP salary. They probably won't reach Bronson levels but yea plenty of MVP guards in contention.

MVP bigs on the other hand...unlikely at this point, would have to have an interesting SF/PF type build.

My SF, Poom, is definitely capped. He's got Superstar potential. He's been called up to his countries NT once before, but it's not like he's got any remote chance except for a game that isn't a real contest. I just don't see how a NT caliber SF can be Superstar potential.

Well, I don't know Poom's skills, but certainly not any SS build would be interesting to a NT. E.g., JS & Rb are hugely expensive (re: cap) for SF's, so builds with large doses of those probably won't have space elsewhere. But, Weeks, Tanner & Velasco are all 8 potential, and (with the possible exception of Velasco) are all still in the NT mix. Certainly there are lots of capped 8 pot players that aren't, but with the right build (and training done in the right order) I think it's still possible.

I'm mistaken. My own team has a NT MVP guard on it. According to the salary estimators, he might be capped, I was planning on testing that if I could find someone to train within my low bankroll. But he's on the cusp of not being on the team as is, and he doesn't have much in the way of bad skills hogging up salary.

Well I did a decent chunk of flipping in the first couple seasons I started Buzzerbeater, does that qualify as worthy of the Wall Street Bull?

Maybe we suck, but our main SFs for the last 10 seasons or so have been SS potential unfortunately. Bill Weeks and Irwin Velasco.

This is why we need your help. Freedom isn't free, if you don't throw in your buck o' five who willlllllll

Worthy of the Wall Street Bull? Depends on how much fraud you got away with.


But yea, seriously tho everyone just keep an eye out and maybe if the right American player comes along who can help you please consider it. We are 20 seasons without a Worlds Gold now, and only us NBBAers can afford to maintain or complete the training of the higher salary American players. I understand that there are many of us who do not want to sacrifice our chances at winning our first cup or NBBA championship for NT purposes, but as wozz showed us, you can do both at the same time. Also if you win it all without a key American player on your roster...did you really win? Or did America lose?

If I may say something here, I know Canada is a smaller country so our talent is weaker, but PA is a good enough potential to get a NT SF for Canada and we have two current PAs who are in the system right now. One used to play big minutes and the other one is used as a callup periodically.

Once again I know Canada is a smaller country, but in my mind superstar is more than enough to build a great SF, I dont think anyone should use a HoF or ATG to make a SF since youll never use all the cap, like a world class PF might.

I think MVP is perfect for a SF, but superstar will do and PA can do.

Although I am Canadian.

No you may not. We have freedom of speech in America, but we don't like it. Say the truth about us and I swear you'll find yourself hiding in an Ecuadorian embassy in no time.

But if you buy and train an American player we might allow it.

Who +1d his post? Its a conspiracy. Wiretap everyone.

As soon as I pressed "Send Message" I made the arrangements for a first class jet to Ecuador.

Do you guys sell good ones for -103k?

It was probably you for all we know.
