Europe kind of has a draft teams create new players in lower leagues or farm teams. But that is a different point. Draft is implemented the way it suits BB. Yes you can not take everything to from RL to BB. But this salary tax is something that can be added. Are you saying BB is not trying to make this game more realistic. I think trying to keep players in their respectable countrys is a great plus. I started from div4 and I bought many players from outside if there would be tax I might of trained a few players more that were estonians. Most of the great teams have international lineup and I think it's nice that they pay tax for every noncountryman! I also think it helps lower leagues to compete and will take the advantage revenue away from the smaller less competitive nations.

There are no drafts in Europe in RL. Should that be changed in BB to reflect this? Arguing by RL is useless

I don't agree. Arguing from RL is essential, for instance if a sixth player, let's call him "goalie", would be in the BB line most people would deslike it, because it is not realistic.

With that said, RL in itself is not the only argument. One must look at "game play" too (for instance your example) and judge if it is a good idea to be true to RL in the particular case or not. Thus, I don't agree with your first statement, but I do agree with your conclusions.

Well i think we should discuss it in Global thread unless we are going to provide any real suggestions - no need to have two separate discussion, imho.

Closing gap between top teams and other would be a good side effect but it is questionable. Most imporatnat thing is that such a change limits options and for some people limits fun while it brings nothing* only forces us to do something a bit. And for some people like top canadian and japanese teams it can reduce their international competitevness a bit.

*ok it allegedly brings better simulation of reality of non-basketball things. I couldn't care less to get such a thing in BB.
