Filthy capitalists get what they deserve from their failed economic system.

I'm with you and Pwnage, this guy has a unsustainable weekly salary, and would be better served with the above changes. Salaries above $150k are rarely worth it due to what they do to your economy.

Different topic...
Why would someone crunch in a cup game?
My recent opponet played ct against me and i still won, using trainee guards and normal not tie, figuring my trainees needed the mins and having done my homework I knew he didn't play tie in cups, but ct really??? To me it seems dumb.

I thought he might be a div IV team with the championship already in the bag, trying to make his way through the cup as long as he could... but no, it's a mid Div III team who is fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Very, very odd.

In division II, it may be unsustainable, but absolutely necessary to have one or two in ABBL.

My old team in ABBL would have walked all over my current team, led by my NT guard McArthur (160k PG/SG)

Axis is in Div 3... Even then, what is a maintainable team salary for the abbl? 250k seems to be a little high to spend on a guard and keep a balanced starting 5.

considering teams in the abbl have 800k to 1mil in salary..
a 200k SG is not out of the ordinary.

He's not for keeps. Just trying to make a few bucks off him in a transfer. Was probably a bad idea. We'll see next week.

Thats higher than I expected (was really just an enquiry). That does make it achievable... Just not sure if you can avoid having at least some weakness if you spend 25-30% on 1 guard. 250k on a guard is roughly equivalent to 400k on a tall, so surely there would have to be some give somewhere... Still, im not saying i can't be wrong on that.

@ axis: I do see what you are doing and I'm not passing judgement. I just look at the risk management side of it. To make profit you will need to sell at over 1 mill to get back the purchase price, the 250k salary and the transfer tax. I'm assuming by the purchase price you were the only bidder? If so, the likelyhood of doubling that price just to break even a week later is low. Not saying its not possible, just that the risk of extra losses when it doesn't happen is a more likely scenario.

No risk, no reward.

Plus, even if I lose out, I learn for next time.
