Rwar! Not going to let anyone dethrone me that easily! But I always love figuring out how to dodge all these punches from everybody. Just have to avoid that KO hit. :p

What is up with the ABBL draft? Sure Akuma will get the next Duffman worth a million but how can there not be a decent second player? Poor Windies, Slam !, Coin Collectors etc will get nothing but rubbish. I was hoping that maybe I could get someone trainable and had a mountain of scouting points. After the group demonstration I was amazed, so many players with five ball skills. Best looking draft I had ever seen. Three potential, three potential, two potential, etc what a disappointment.

Akuma has Duffman. Windies can choose a decent 19 year old or a 4/4 18 and after that there is nothing!

The law of averages. Last season's draft we got the holy grail (30030255), got to wait like another 5 seasons before we get anything good again.

I haven't looked at the draft. But then I don't pay for points so no point looking unless i want some random favorite numbers up the top.

Dude you have the second last pick..why would you waste all your points on this seasons draft?

Yeah I found the 5/5, not much else going on although I haven't interviewed the 4s yet.

Hopefully he's a HoF or above
but can't complain, even an MVP is good

Because I have had my scouting set at $20,000 a week since season 10 and haven't spent any for a while so had enough to scout every player this season and several in the future! I like drafting and was hoping with so few people spending that I may sneak a good late pick like Koop did when he got the superstar. Instead I am headed for another 5/3 star or allstar potential player.

That good late pick is not that good compared to the rookie akuma will get. (27605651). But its a steal alright, especially for a 30th pick.

$20k a week since season 10 aye? That kind of investment could've been spent on an ABBL championship campaign. =P

$20000 x 14 weeks x 12 seasons = ~$3.3mil in cold hard cash.

True but I also got some great sales from that investment. Rookies Hasmawi Mahmood sold for $1.5 million, Peni Lucas for $1 million, Kent Masters after some training for $1 million and several more so not that bad really.

wow koopy... that's a pretty big purchase you've just made.
I was going to make comment about all the ridiculous salary rosters, but i've just checked mine and it's not cheap either ;)

Thats a pre-emptive move to try to avoid you in a relegation series battle. But yeah $1.2 million in salaries is outrageous.

Are you going to buy a few more players? =p

Ooooh thanks, I'm sure it will be tough whomever i shall face in relegation finals, but I don't think I'd want to see the scores against your team.. Happy for you to stay in the top 4 and beat WB tomorrow ;)

Am I going to buy more players?
I could buy several,, but then financial stamina would become a problem.
I'm thinking of buying a better starting SF.
If you know of any worthy candidates, let me know :-D
