Hey glugly how was IV.3 last season, any hints would be welcome.

IV.5 looks really good. I will be extremely lucky to not get relegated, the way the division looks to play out.

Hello to all my new league mates, I'm going to give my quick assesment of what I think this league has to offer for Season 16. This will all of course change rapidly as the season goes on.
Big 8:

Arizona Roadrunners-Look to be a balanced team, but unfortunately not strong enough at the top end to compete for a playoff spot. Stars: A pair of decent PFs(11k apiece). Prediction: Looking at missing the playoffs this season, 5-7.
buffalo Cobras-Another balanced team, look to be a little better off, led by a veteran PG and some decent post play. Stars: Decent at PG/PF(10k/11k) Prediction: Finish in bottom pack 5-7.
Droids-Looking strong after demoting from D.III Droids are trying to get right back up. Stars: A pair of C/SGs along with a solid PG(41/32/22/20/12k). Prediction: Will look to recapture the D.IV magic, trying for 1 or 2 seed.
essex 90-Lacking in firepower this team tries to make up for it in sheer number of players. Stars: One ok C and a decent group at SG/SF(10k). Prediction: In the fight to avoid the relegation series.
happy helpers-A semi-unbalanced roster, they will lean heavily on their PFs. Stars: Those 2 PF's mentioned before(22/11k). Prediction: Playoffs, I favor them for the 3 seed.
McArthurs Fury-On the short list of contenders in the B8 with some real stars on the roster. Stars: A pair at C, along with a good PG/SF(37/22/17/15k). Prediction: Will battle with Droids for #1 all season.
STARBURYS-A well balanced team, looking to make some roster changes. Stars: Another strong PF(13k). Prediction: Playoffs as 3-4 seed.
the sikers-A completely new team, they may struggle to adjust. Stars: None. Prediction: Relegation.

C:Guntademaro Yusta(McArthurs Fury)
PF:Tzenko Traykov(happy helpers)

Last season, buffalo Cobras, McArthurs Fury, and Starburys made the playoffs in the big 8. You want to be careful of the first 2 because they manage their enthusiasm throughout the season, especially McArthur's Fury. On the Great 8 side, Team WWE almost went undefeated, but ended up 22-2. Although his salary isn't high, his players play pretty well. The Big 8 was the stronger conference for the 3 seasons I was in this division, so if you can stay on top there you should be fine.

Also, your team looks beastly so I wouldn't worry...better than the team I used to win =).

Sweet

Great 8

Bridgeport Knicks-So many players... Not going to scare anyone though. Stars: None. Prediction: Relegation.
El Puerco Grande-A solid looking team, with an absolutely amazing young trainee to look out for in upcoming seasons. Stars: A good SG with a solid duo down low(18k). Prediction: Borderline between playoffs/just outside of them.
frito bandito-Not a team to overlook this team is looking for back to back championships. Stars: A great SG and some solid support players(38/13k). Prediction: Continue their recent dominance in D.IV, in fight for #1 seed.
Ohio Suns-Have a good inside/outside combo going on here. Stars: Led by a strong C and his SG running mate(16/12k). Prediction: On the outside looking in on the playoffs.
Pheonix Suns*-Looks like they are making some changes on their roster and are on the way up. Stars: A new PF pickup will lead them(17k). Prediction: Fighting to avoid the relegation series.
Seachickens-A nice and deep team, they are currently selling some of their key players. Stars: A good back court, with a pair of decent Cs(15/10/14/12k). Prediction: Looking at 3-4 unless they replace some of their stars.
Team WWE-Very strong on the wings, with ridiculous depth at the SF position. Stars: A whole crop of SF's(14/13/11k). Prediction: Experience/Depth vs. Youth/Superstars in the battle between Team WWE and frito bandito for the Great 8 crown.
The Arlington All Stars-Very strong in the forwards/center area, also grooming an excellent draftee. Stars: SF/PF/C, maybe no better group in the league(16/12/15k). Prediction: A playoff team for sure, could pull some surprises on anyone.

Great 8 Allstars
1st team
C:Juan Carlos Lopez(The Arlington All Stars)
PF:Shay Berman(Pheonix Suns*)
SF:Pere Fons(The Arlington All Stars)
SG:Anibal Rodrigues(frito bandito)

Next up is a complete league overview:-)

No offense IV but being my fourth season in IV.48 I'm hoping to move back up this season. Much love though, much love.

Arizona Roadrunners-Look to be a balanced team, but unfortunately not strong enough at the top end to compete for a playoff spot. Stars: A pair of decent PFs(11k apiece). Prediction: Looking at missing the playoffs this season, 5-7.

Hmmmm, how many games did you win last season??? :-) I bet I surprise you ;)
