I just got back and looked at the game and I see my new trainee Palma with 3 fouls and Faina (who needs 48 minutes this game, having played none in my league game) with 4 fouls and a horrible offensive performance, and I too think...I knew I shouldn't have scrimmaged you...You're going to completely destroy my training for the week if either or both of them were to actually foul out, of course.

It's also kind of perversely funny that my team was the first this season to injure one of your players. Of course it's not any of the other teams in your league, nor any of the other teams you scrimmaged, but it would be me. Evidently the GE has decided that last year's rivalry means there there needs to be bad blood and excessive physicality between the teams or something. Either that or it's my charming demeanor carrying over to my players on the court...

Well I told you you were going to ruin my training for the week. Only Smiley popped this week from JS-forwards. He did double pop in JS/JR, which is nice. Overall he's now 7/8/8/7/5/8 3/4/3/3 for a total of 9 pops on the season, which is ok especially given his height I guess.

I was going to tell you to start preparing for D4...but I made like millions of changes when I was actually in D4, hopefully you don't come into my league because it is pretty hard..but I do get a pretty large league TV Contract boost.

My preparation for D4 pretty much concists of expanding my arena and training Smiley and Faina in particular. Beyond that, I'm waiting to see what I need for D.IV, who's available at the beginning of next season, etc. before adding a player. I also want to get the promotion $200K before buying a new player, but I already have some ideas of what I'm looking for.

I've looked at your league and some other D.IV leagues and yours does seem pretty tough. I'm impressed that your team is doing really well despite that.

Well after last weeks' minutes snafu, I ended up giving Smiley too many minutes and Faina none at all, which sucked. On the bright side, we still got a lot of pops: Iriarte and Astudillo in JS, McNeill in driving, and Smiley in handling and passing (the first time I've seen a passing pop from 1v1 forwards). This brings Smiley up to a whopping 13 pops on the season (5/7/6/6/4/7 2/3/2/3 at the start of the season to 7/8/8/8/5/9 3/4/3/3 as of today). I'm pretty satisfied with him so far. Apparently the 13 pops gets him no love though, as I'm told his current salary estimate ($6695) does not reach the salary/potential criteria. I'm hoping to get Len another OD, driving, and JS pop this season, so if he can get those we'll see if he gets reconsidered.

I find it funny how you won your latest game. Faina is a beast! Thank god I don't have to deal with him anymore.

Just noticed that he actually broke the record for scoring in the league!

Haha that's because Faina is apparently just too good. Plus the other team was the worst in the league, even among bots. But still, not losing is kind of disappointing. I'm hoping not to have to forfeit twice, because that's more training minutes lost. Still, owning the league scoring record is nice.

Just looking at my team's stats. Offensively, the team as a whole is shooting 56.6% from the field, led by Catapang's 73.2% from the field. Only two players (Smiley and Himadas) are shooting below 50% on the season, and both of them compensate with exceptional passing. No one is below 40%. We also average almost 56 rebounds and 36 assists per game, to go with 10.3 steals and 9.9 blocks. Just dominant. And those stats would be better if we hadn't tanked several games to hopefully get a top draft prospect. I think we're ready to get out of here.
