I was going to tell you to start preparing for D4...but I made like millions of changes when I was actually in D4, hopefully you don't come into my league because it is pretty hard..but I do get a pretty large league TV Contract boost.

My preparation for D4 pretty much concists of expanding my arena and training Smiley and Faina in particular. Beyond that, I'm waiting to see what I need for D.IV, who's available at the beginning of next season, etc. before adding a player. I also want to get the promotion $200K before buying a new player, but I already have some ideas of what I'm looking for.

I've looked at your league and some other D.IV leagues and yours does seem pretty tough. I'm impressed that your team is doing really well despite that.

Well after last weeks' minutes snafu, I ended up giving Smiley too many minutes and Faina none at all, which sucked. On the bright side, we still got a lot of pops: Iriarte and Astudillo in JS, McNeill in driving, and Smiley in handling and passing (the first time I've seen a passing pop from 1v1 forwards). This brings Smiley up to a whopping 13 pops on the season (5/7/6/6/4/7 2/3/2/3 at the start of the season to 7/8/8/8/5/9 3/4/3/3 as of today). I'm pretty satisfied with him so far. Apparently the 13 pops gets him no love though, as I'm told his current salary estimate ($6695) does not reach the salary/potential criteria. I'm hoping to get Len another OD, driving, and JS pop this season, so if he can get those we'll see if he gets reconsidered.

I find it funny how you won your latest game. Faina is a beast! Thank god I don't have to deal with him anymore.

Just noticed that he actually broke the record for scoring in the league!

Haha that's because Faina is apparently just too good. Plus the other team was the worst in the league, even among bots. But still, not losing is kind of disappointing. I'm hoping not to have to forfeit twice, because that's more training minutes lost. Still, owning the league scoring record is nice.

Just looking at my team's stats. Offensively, the team as a whole is shooting 56.6% from the field, led by Catapang's 73.2% from the field. Only two players (Smiley and Himadas) are shooting below 50% on the season, and both of them compensate with exceptional passing. No one is below 40%. We also average almost 56 rebounds and 36 assists per game, to go with 10.3 steals and 9.9 blocks. Just dominant. And those stats would be better if we hadn't tanked several games to hopefully get a top draft prospect. I think we're ready to get out of here.

I just want to take this moment to point out that, despite deliberately losing two games, with one game to go I have broken your point differential record (1145 to 1132). I say this now because tomorrow's forfeit will nullify that victory, and though I don't regret it in the least, I still consider it something of a team milestone to be even on the same level as the Bunny Humpers in one category at least. Hopefully the Tornadoes can add "former V.101 champions" to that list of shared accomplishments.

Oh man, I really hope you come into my league. The same level as my team!?!?!?!?! How dare you say that! Haha, just kidding, your team is amazing, I will actually say the opposite of what I said, and ask for your team to not come into my league...

Your team is probably still better than mine, this is true. I didn't mean to say otherwise; I doubt my team even as it is now would go 16-6 in your league, and I'm positive that we'd never beat your team as it stands right now. At the same time, you're probably right in not wanting me in your league, for two reasons: (a) my team is pretty decent in its own right, especially offensively, and especially compared to other D.V teams that could promote into your league, and (b) I have a very good chance of drafting/selling one of my two main trainees, which along with the promotion bonus would set me up nicely to pick up any complementary players I might need. Plus although my team has never learned how to beat yours in a fair match, they do know how to inflict pain and injury on your players both on the court (ask Choy Soo Jung about that scrimmage earlier this season) and by means of occultists and voodoo dolls (remember when I predicted Pringle's injury??). So no, you really don't want my team to show their ugly faces in IV.32.

Ok, Sneaky Bastards (46471) is a team of jerks. They forfeited the scrimmage tonight, so McNeill and Iriarte only got 36 out of 48 possible minutes for training purposes. I'm super irritated about that. Seriously, if YOU offer the scrimmage, at least have the courtesy to put three or more players in it, for crying out loud! That combined with the forfeit on Saturday means that only two players (Smiley and Faina) get full training this week in 1v1 forwards. So mad...

The BB gods had better grant Smiley a triple pop (which isn't out of the realm of possibility) to make up for this.
