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


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.

yeah for sure, I would've helped to drive up his price as well and get into a bidding war with you!! hahah
I do bookmark stars just in case they ever go on sale again, I have Barry O'Daire, Sam Clune, Chris Sidwell and Eugenio Dell'Asta all bookmarked hoping one day to buy them.
If Xie ever gets listed you can bet your bottom dollar that he will be considered for purchase! ;)

Dell just sold for $3.5m, not bad for a 28 year old!

Meanwhile, good win over me. Caned me on the boards.

yeah i've had my eye on him for a while!! haha. Funny thing is that, when he was listed for around that much as starting price no one touched him, then the owner listed him for $0 and he ended up being sold for that much!
He is a valuable asset for any team in this current Transfer market, low salary for quality, that's a rarity now! So many one dimensional monsters being sold for low price, good to see balanced players still holding their value.
hahah yeah that was a lucky win, I didn't expect it at all, I guess HCA got me over the line there!

I don't have supporter - can you let me know at some point if Barry or Clune come up for sale? I'd like them to retire on my team, so once they're too old, i'll get them back.
