Here is another great example. This guy is good enough for the Russian national team but not good enough for anyone to spend more than $600,000 on. This is not a market economy working properly. A division III team could easily buy him but no-one wants to because the wage demands are just not worth what you get. I don't get how anyone thinks this is not completly pathetic. He is young, hall of fame potential and if he was a little bit worse would be probably worth six times as much. I am sure there will be the usual guys saying there is no problem and he was "trained badly" because clearly a guy with stupendous rebounding is trained worse than a guy with marvellous rebounding.

Damn your beady eyes, Superfly! But look again and you'll find a more reasonable cutprice deal. You know you want him.

In all seriousness though, it cheapens the players' market if the best players are going to be treated like pariahs. I was serious about that. I only recently found this out after I got you know who, I never thought there would be an upper limit to how good a player could get before becoming 'unaffordable'. That's a nonsensical situation, in what market does a service become so valuable that nobody can afford to maintain its costs? The market always adjusts the price to remain within buying power, the same should happen here, either with player salaries or weekly incomes.

Just wondering...what happens if a player like that gets fired?

I think you can't fire players on a NT roster (but I have never tried). If they weren't on a NT roster then they would just pop back up as free agents again and continue to swap teams twice a week because no-one actually wants to keep them.

Usually fired players are lost to the game if they're not on the NT.

I seem to remember an incident a while ago where a French 400k big man was purchased, gameshape destroyed, player was dropped from NT, then sacked by owner... huge uproar by French teams cause he was lost to the game forever.

Yes and I hear this is China's new tactic. At the end of every season they will buy every good U21 player on sale in the world and then when they are released from the U21 teams and before they can be added to national teams they will fire them.
