I was checking out Brod myself too. Not sure I want to spend a lot of money on one player though since I have quite a few holes to fill.

I really timed putting them up for sale wrong, as there auctions should have ended tonight instead of tomorrow so I don't have to pay salary on them. Brod has really been a dissapointment to me, I thought he would have been more dominating at the SF spot, but his outside shooting has been to inconsistent.

The outside shooting is because of the LI tactic. Players always shoot worse in it.

I feel like me, hrudey, and TicTacShack are all looking for the same players. I was going to buy both Michael Johnson and Lindsey, but didnt because I don't want either of them to know what I'm buying. Needless to say, I may change my focus of my team to counter what they are doing.

Interesting! And it looks like Tic's payroll is now approaching $700K, an NBBA one.

Well, I'm happy with Johnson. I will probably offload the Finnish guy as they are comparable salary-wise.. I set up this off season to make sure I had a competitive team and am using this extra time to try and get more American. Lindsey may have been a mistake. I was indenting him to replace the Polish PG I had aquired, but he's more than double the salary. The real key is to not over pay for players. Also, since smallfries, hrudey, and I seem to be the ones trying to run outside offenses, we tend to look for similar players. It doesn't help that we try for Americans as much as possible.

Until I got Schultz, I was going to make a hard push for Lindsay. Johnson's salary put me off somewhat and there may have been another reason too, but I don't remember his skill breakdown well enough for that. The good news for me is that Kinney (and Lindsay, had I gotten him) were guys that I could get and run for a season or two, but Schultz is a nice long-term running mate to stick beside Yi for a longer term. I definitely hope my season ticket holders and fan mood trend up next season, since as it stands once I get my salary bumps and replace my offseason minimal doctor and PR rep, I'll be pushing it to break even week to week, at least other than the Cup.

The last foreign player that I bought was a 1k scrimmage rental on an emergency basis in March 2012. My last foreign player at all was sold in August 2012, but he was one of my original trainees. I suppose it was time to make the moves though, since I had actually spent more money renovating my arena than in the transfer market for my BB career again until these purchases.

Yea I tend to prefer American but couldn't find the skillset I wanted. The foreign guard I just bought though is a beast and I couldn't help but purchase him at the price I got him at. Felt like I was walking into a store and the clerk said "come on in, everything is 50% off." Don't mind if I do. What a bargain!

And Isaiah, your payroll is way north of $600K. These are all interesting moves:-)
