If you are determined to keep them both, your best bet is probably to train OD for the whole season (because they both reeaaallly need it) then assess the training plan next season.

Their OD isn't great and the height of the 6'7" guy is an issue; however, they are both *really, really good* trainees as far as potential goes (and the hall of fame guy has good starting PG skills apart from that OD).

I totally agree with mllama - OD, single position, for the whole season. Play one guy for 48 minutes at PG in one of your league games (it's going to hurt your team's performance at the start) and the other for 48 minutes at PG in your scrimmage, and only train OD.

yeah i know they aren't a great match as training partners and that im being a bit stubborn in wanting them both but hey its a game and everyone has got to play it the way they want right?

Im not planning to train these guys for NT level or anything like that, im just trying to establish my first core group of guys to play with in the next couple of seasons. So basically train them as much as i can, as best i can, so they can help bring some success and hopefully a promotion in the future.

All good though. With a lot of training im hoping my hall of famer can become a decent starting small forward, my point guard can develop into a good starter and im trying to purchase a shooting guard to get as a third trainee

But yeah thanks mate for the pointer

yeah like i said above, ill try my best to get the most out of these two.

however my performance this year im not too worried about. im going to take yoda's advise and just worry about my trainees and make the most money i can to build my arena and have a solid economy. well thats the plan anyway, hopefully i can execute.

cheers dude

Got another question; last year I could tank easily and generate huge amounts of income each week (because I had a total of about $20k in salaries with no salary floor).

This season I do have a salary floor of $60k and my players are no where near that so, is there a penalty for not being at the player salary floor and if so would it be a smart decision to purchase 40k worth of players to get to the salary floor, bolster my roster and be competitive, whilst still trying to make maximum profit each week??

Yeah, the ideal situation would be to get your salaries as close to the salary floor that you can. That way you can maximize profits and still win some games.

If you have less than $60k in salaries ytou pay $60k anyway so may as well be as close as possible. The second player is fine but the HoF must be your key. He has some massive flaws but as everyone has said a whole season of OD will fix that. In two game weeks maybe some JS or one on one.
