i think u should maybe post everything as seperate threads and not all in this one thread here. I think the pieces should be less frequent but for more important events and more in-depth. But this is coming from a Division III coach so dont believe what i say xD

I'm trying to change the article frequency to twice a week. I'll try to make the articles better but I can only try so hard. I'll try to take your advice into heart. Thanks for your consideration.

Hopefully I will have time this weekend to compile the depth chart and roster skills of players

In the near future, I am also looking to call up an additional C/PF to supplement our relatively weak front court
However, the problem is that the next best option is Isaac Massicotte (14641292), which I might as well burn in hell for if I called him up... lol

So I need your help to find "Canada's next big man"

I am curious as to why you think the team needs another big man? At this point the 5 guys on the roster should have no issue getting us thru the next few games. Obviously if game shape continues to be an issue or becomes a bigger issue you may have no choice.

Secondly Isaac is far from the next best call up, he has absolutely zero secondaries. A guy like TSA is far better suited to be playing for the NT, and there are plenty of others that would be in front of him. It is time that us Canadians start valuing more than just a salary, have a look at the Czech NT and see the ratings they put up. That is all based on balanced builds not mono monsters like Massicotte.

(14642115)

This is an option... He is equal to Massicotte from what I recall. But again this is a mono monster that has no business being on the team.

I would encourage you to have a look at my last B3 game. The starters on the opposing team had far bigger salaries than mine, especially the guards. And I managed to win with a balanced roster, yes home court helped but was not the only factor.

We don't have any real callup options for our next game. My first choice (and really my only choice) would be TSA but his GS is terrible. Massicotte is injured and his GS is terrible as well. Blackburn has the GS but I agree with Beanerz, he is just too one dimensional. I'd just go with who we have.

oh jeez, you people are no fun at all...
trying to instill comedic and entertainment value into my posts are totally no working

1) no, massicotte is not going to be called up and is not even considered at this point
2) yes, TSA is on the radar, but until his gameshape turns for the better, well, tough luck
3) im just throwing the idea out there because canada has somehow stacked itself with guards but bigs are much weaker by comparison, and going down the depth charts, we have more up and coming guards than bigs... if i cant get a plan set in place to develop the next maja or the next demers, we WILL be stuck with mono skilled guys like moran

Hopefully his owner sells him, he should be starting for us but his owner plays him 3 games a week.

TSA played 22 unneccesary minutes in a 60 pt blowout last night. Stupid is as stupid does...

Ya the last wicked big man was Glenn Richards. I think he made it straight from the U21 team to the NT. Though having balanced big men are nice for various reasons I personally think some managers put too much into it and then there NT value diminishes. I'm guessing the last manager that really kept training a big man in primiares, who really didn't need anymore secondaries, was Jutras' manager.

Of course if you picked up Blackburn, and with having Macciotte, and trained some passing for a season or two or three they could be decent options. Lol.

We could really use some managers of younger big men that have decent secondaries to stop training them and make them legit big men by getting those primaiaries popping. I'm pretty sure Glenn Richards manager never really ever trained any secondaries. He did start with decent ones though. But it's "All about the Benjamins" that they want to eventually pay them every week.

well, training bigs require a fine balance

on 1 hand, you need the primaries to make the player worth it.... but that eats into the salary really fast
on the other hand, you want to pop secondaries because a big with all primaries will turn the ball over and probably foul a lot..... but that eats into his value and NT potential

bballin and i are working on a NT/U21 requirements and hopefully come up with better guidelines for managers that are looking to train NT caliber players
