In other matters this is big news.

12/8/2011 - Pancakes with Jam and Cream has just acquired Yiftach Chaim for $ 3 150 000.

Now I respect C-Cat as much as any manager in the game but this does puzzle me.

Yiftach Chaim (9446188)
Shooting Guard
Owner: Pancakes with Jam and Cream
Weekly salary: $ 63 412
Age: 27
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: superstar

Age 27 so too old to train and will need to be resold in about three seasons to retain value. Only $63,000 salary which for a SG is hardly impressive and should be obtainable for about 1/3 that price at a similar age. Obviously he will have great secondaries and I assume he is really a SF not a SG but he has only averaged 3 RPG and 2.6 APG this season and only a bit better last season this season. He has a reasonable FG% (only 42% this season but 49% last season playing in Czech division II) so maybe he is an IS fiend and that is what seduced the Cat.

Brilliant move or latenight bidding war that got out of hand?

500k a week.... that's pretty awesome. I get a bit more than 420k with my current roster. Hopefully I can make some good purchases like C-cat in a few weeks time.

Here is the league spending. Yes you guys are spending only about $100k a week more than me. But I have two players who will go as soon as my cup run is over taking me to the salary floor.

So this is how I see it. You guys spend an extra $100,000 a week for 12 weeks = $1,200,000. Then in week 13 you get two games 1 x 2/3 income and 1 x 1/3 income so about normal and have to pay salaries so you make your normal amount. I wont have income but wont pay salaries so will make $200,000 less than normal. So overall I am about $1,000,000 better off than if I spent the extra to come 6th or 7th and then get flogged in a relegation series and with HA having wages of $600,000 a week to my $300,000 and Pancakes spending up big then 7th and relegation anyway is my best prospect.

To be honest $500,000 was a slight exaggeration, it has usually been just under for example $474,000 this week with the extra player Ambrosio Jáuregui taking away his weekly salary: $ 33 894. If I lose the cup game today he will be on the market for $1 tonight!

Lol dream on! When was the last time you made a 3 mil purchase... Never!

How is this related to what I said about my future purchases? lol While it is true I have never made any expensive purchases. It could mean two things, I was very poor or I am very cautious on the TL. ABBL is where dreams can come true. While you rich bastardos enjoying your fine wine and women, I had to slave in div2 to make ends meet. Now that I am living in the ABBL, be sure I will make those purchases.

Lol you can say what you want, but I go by track record... Unless you can put your money where your mouth is.. All you say is just speculation and rumours.. Lol kinda like cp3 getting traded to the lakers, or dwight getting traded to the bulls. All baseless, shameless speculations hahaha..

Im predicting a big 4m purchase to slot in the SF to play alongside the F, kye duffill.

What?! 4M?! Who do you think I am? C-Cat? lol

Or CP3 and Dwight ending up at the Lakers. It is a possibility you know, and if it does happen I will cry.

sick of lakers fans thinking bynum for howard straight up is a fair deal... reason being bynum is the NO.2 center in the NBA...

LOL!

I can name at least 5 centers that is better than Bynum if we are talking about both end players.

Ah my ploy to by a 60k SG for well over odds to trick people has been foiled!
