if you jhave just one trainee, this is maybe a bit "too" much sacrifice.

maybe you could say, use the rigth potential, so that they stop automatically, but sometimes you like to stay with your players. For me it makes sense, even if i could life with the current system.

I'm not sure if I was clear enough.

My proposal is that some players could play at a given position, let's say Center, and don't receive any training even if the chosen training is, let's say, rebounding for PF/Centers.

The goal is allow superplayers with high wages to play at the positions wished by their team managers without their salaries being rised tremendously at the end of the season. Of course, the teams that use this possibility will lose some training slots. If it will be worthwhile or not, up to the team managers to decide.

hmmm...Not sure if I quite understand why you want to do this. Is this so you can play your already trained players in their desired spots as well as play trainees in that spot?

lets make an example, you normally train "just Center", this works fine with 3 trainees and as PF you play with a high skilled Center/PF. Now you notice, my young center are fine but they also need rebounding ->you have train PF/C which brings you in trouble because your "PF" shouldn't train(and don't play well at SF) and you just have those three trainees. What should ya do?

Another scenario, is that you just want to train in two of your three games, and make a damn strong lineup in the third game - somehthing which happens often at least in germany(we are kings in giving up our away games).

Yes.
Let's say you have 2 centers with 120K wages/week. You want to keep them on your roster but do not want them with wages above 120k. You also want to train centers. Under the current system, you have 3 options:

1) Train centers anyway, keep the 2 guys on your roster and never play them as centers.
2) Give up training centers, start training guards (don't try to train SFs since you need to train them on the paint also)
3) Fire your 2 guys, buy some nice trainees and get a weak inside for 2-3 seasons.

With the change proposed, a 4th option would be available:

4) Keep your 2 guys, buy a nice trainee and train him as C. While he improves, your 2 other centers will maintain their levels, your team won't suffer much. But you'll be able to train less players than usual, since your "don't train" players will occupy some training slots.

ah okay I understand what you mean now. I guess it would be helpful. Although this suggestion is very much directed solely to the top leagues as I doubt anyone in the lower leagues would choose to not train a player.

Another solution to this problem might be to change the training system. Make it so that you can train any skill in any position. So you could train Passing in C. Or you could train Rebounding for just C. Or something like that.

i wouldn't like that, this will make it to easy in my eyes ;) And if you screw up games to make it the hard way(especially SF trainers), and now everybody could come and make such players easily.

Okay, well what about simply making every training choice have at least a single position training option?
So Rebounding would have the choice of just training C.

Training overhauls have been proposed many times. It's ment to be a challenge to train multiskilled players. There is a significant improvement already for training someone out of position, as you choose which position he guards.
Only solution I see in this case is: get a player with potential that caps out at that skill level, to keep him near that salary. Basically you want to make money by training young players without adding extra wage to your main squad (as you can't keep that trainee anyway, he also demands more money next season).

Well, it's too much discussion for nothing. I don't know many teams that don't want to train their players. It's a problem that occured to your team my friend and you have to find a way to solve it... I wish you to find a way with the current system.
