Phoenix 5 is a good team but he just can't let go of Radford and his massive salary. Until that happens he will struggle in ABBL and even in div2.

Drooping down or demoting is never good financially no matter how to put it.

Ah, see that's where I disagree.

I have 4 trainees at the moment.

Ton - 38k
McArthur - 75k
Dell'Asta - 69k
Iregui - 22k

My training has them peaking in salary by the end of this season, and even further next season for McArthur. I can't support their salaries in II any longer.

I expect next season their salaries will be around..

Ton - 75k
McArthur - 100k
Dell'Asta - 90k
Iregui - 35k

That's 300k just on 4 players. Not leaving much for my big men or backups (or lack of..).

If I don't promote I may need to sell some to financially stay afloat. I don't want to though..

slam ! has higher wages than that for one player and is doing well

aussie batlers did too

last season whitebeard had total salaries around 700k and this season so does hopelessly addicted

you are lucky if you can get away without having to have a monster roster

and maggots put their momey where their mouths are with a purchase of a bomb trainee 18 yo mvp

3/21/2011 - Maggots has just acquired Onur Rasit Düs for $ 1 800 000.

Aussie battlers had to their $300k+ player because it made his roster unsustainable and in half a season left him with limited funds. All to finish 4th. 2 $100k talks would not only been much cheaper, but would have had better results...

And maggots spending 1.8 mill on an 18 year old isn't necessarily the best option. For a large percentage of his revenue from his sales, he will be waiting another 3 seasons before that player will be of average ABBL starter standard. Meaning he will demote next season unless he sells the player at a profit or be right where he is now trying to top up toward the end of the season...

you are right, demotion would be certain but with a good plan and timing, staying in this league isn't impossible. If luck is on our side, we get weak div3 teams next season.

I don't think there will be many weak teams promoting from div 3 anymore. With the logjam of teams who are almost div 2 ready (and of course the day traders) players starting in the next few seasons will start finding it difficult to establish themselves in div 3. Its not like it used to be when I won a div 3 title with my best player being a $19k sg. Last season I had to beat Quinn kings and their $250k worth of guards... Making demotion all the more damaging.

You are definitely right about d3 teams being much stronger. I will struggle to stay up next season with the way my economy has been over the past couple seasons. Not fun training SF's, so hopefully it's worth all the pain in the end.

great to see the tradition of every team tanking to da fat boy slim continures - totally lost count of how many free wins they have got this season now

but now it looks like almost every side in the gr8 is tanking cept cowboys and meators and those fighting to avoid relegation

and the knights are far from tanking - theyve got 1st spot sewn up and are going into get ready for playoffs mode

steves crocs seem to have left their run way too late taking down the top team is nice but how will they avoid 8th now and how will they afford Rob McNamara in d3?
