Even I would have paid for him. He had my respect. With him gone perhaps I can make the division 2 playoffs for the first time ever. Last season was my first time missing the playoffs and it was bad.

You'll have to wait and see won't you.. ;)
haha nah my main thinking was all my guns were 29 and my bank balance was declining each week. I can focus on traniing for 1-2 more seasons and my trainees should be right to play proper minutes in this division and then build my team around them and wait for my oppurtunity :) + I'll have a shitload of money to spend on guys to fill in around them!!

It seems to be one of the only ways to do it these days... Tank, try, tank, try, tank, try....

good idea, it's unfortunate how things pan out and you have to part with your stars... I know I should do the same, but can't part with my guys...
I think right now is the best time to have money and build a championship calibre team, $1 million these days can get you a player who in the past might have cost DOUBLE!
in saying that, Sidwell went quite low, i always thought he'd be a million dollar player EASILY, his somewhat big salary must have been a turn off. Do you mind me asking what his main skills were? Since he is gone now there's no benefit to me knowing right? hahah

Yeh it was difficult decision to make
Yeh the turnoff is the salary, definitely.
The thing I always liked about him was his handling and passing were both respectable. Rebounding was phenomanal, IS wondrous and ID marvellous.
He will be missed but Vidas will be so much more complete and better that I'll soon forget about him :)

Good luck to you in getting your blokes over the line to have a crack at the ABBL, me dropping out should help you. But still a lot to do!!

it's the only way....and even that, the BB is trying to prevent it.

The game doesn't have enough means or complexity that managers can use/do to catch up to the upper divisions in a shorter time. I am a RTS player so my perspective can be a bit different. Take example of Starcraft 2, to go from A to B in X amount of time, you can have more than 1000 paths but in BB you are stuck with what the BB allow you to. They need to stop interfering because it makes the game less exciting....

Yo! Yo! D for D best PF in D Aussie BB. D Name is Kye Duffill (10080211), averages nothing but pure amazing! Vote for Duffman!

ah the rebounding is what always killed me! I didn't think it would make such a difference... Gone is big Sid in comes big Vid!!
I don't think I have a chance at the ABBL any time soon too many deficiancies and a reluctance to sell. I'm just playing for the sake of playing, so in a few seasons time when Vidas is a monster he'll be battling it out with the same roster as i have today hahah.
