Very odd indeed. I am going to take a shot in the dark.

You started the game off with him as an 18 year old on your original roster. 5-7-3-7-6-7 is very good for an 18 y/o Allstar potential player. You must not have felt the same way, because it appears you cut him. I came to this conclusion when I didn't see him on your very large transfer list, yet he was clearly removed from your roster.

Because he was a very trainable guard prospect in a smaller market (Australia), the game decided to save him from banishment. They will do this for good, young prospects or National team players. A Chinese team bought him and trained him for 2 years, then folded due to inactivity. Not sure why it doesn't list the transfer price in his player history. Probably because of a work-around to save him from retirement.

Because he is still potentially U21 or National team material, he has been saved a 2nd time. His stats don't show a record of your games, because he never logged a minute for you. If he got a DNPCD, that will not show on his stats page.

This is my best guess. I may be inaccurate in a few places, but I feel its pretty close to what happened.

PS. Not smart to call attention to a player you would like to bid on, it will drive up his price!

This is what happened to a former player of mine, Jugert Gjata.

The details are seared into my brain: I sell a SG for 200,000. He gets some training and a RnG offense -- he takes off. Leads league in scoring, becomes MVP.

One day, I am catching up on my players whom I have sold in my team records. I can't find my player! Indeed, the revenue I had received from his sale has been erased from my transfer totals! I remember his name, search, and find him on yet another team. The team who had purchased him from me had folded. My player then had been claimed off the Free Agent transfer list and is now scoring big for yet another team. If I recall correctly, if you look at his personal record, you can see his games from ages past for me, but on the personal record / history, his current life begins with being nabbed off the the Free Agent list.

As Paul McCartney sang so many years ago, "Very strange!"

Same thing happened to me with a former player, Greg Buck (833903). He wasn't an original player on my team, though he was one of the first I bought and I spent four seasons training him.

I don't know what causes this to happen, but the common theme here does seem to be free agency.
