edit:6th

For a team which is new to the ABBL, staying up may require a season long fight, the sacrifice of training plans and the procurement of overpriced beasts.

Achieving all 3 goals (that were made public) for this season would be an achievement to be celebrated as it would lay the foundations for a competive and sustainable HA squad for many seasons to come

The lesson in Reality will be yours Split J, if your team one day does manage to promote

yeah should have done what everyone else does right before playoffs...

dont think its possible to do your objective 1 and 2 at the same time productively especially at the ABBL level.

Hey Split Z I took the time to reply to your post (nbr 31) that stated I could achieve all 3 of those objectives in div 3.

Was the reason that you deleted that post that fact you realised how "ignorant" (polite word for silly) your statement actually was?

I didnt want to come off as rude so that I deleted it but since you mention it, yeah you could.

after all your "hysterical" (polite word for mad) posts, just think that your being a bit greedy and trying to "coerce" (poilte word for force) the other new teams into tanking just so that you could potentially cement your standing as an ABBL team. I think you're looking down on ABBL if you believe that you can train more than 2 (2 position training) or 1 trainee (1 pos training) without even facing any threat of relegation....

WTF?! anyways......... my first ABBL game is tomorrow. First up, wolfman followed by monkeyman! can't wait to bring some pain!

Get a grip (a lot more polite than saying let go of it)

On one hand your saying that all 3 of those objectives could be achieved in div 3 (inference being that the objectives are easy) and on the other hand your stating that I am looking down on the ABBL if I think I can train without facing any threat of relegation.

How can, wanting to continue training , be looking down on the ABBL, when I state that it would be something to celebrate if I could achieve that and the other objectives?????????

As for me trying to coerce or force other new teams into tanking, well Yoda and I have played against each other for several seasons and I consider him a friend and if Ive upset him or anyone else I will apologise but there are realities.

1/ Reality is that its hard to stay up in the ABBL first time around and sometimes the smart thing to do is accept this and stash some cash instead of risking all chasing an impossible dream.

2/ Gamesmanship/banter (within limits) is part of this game and this forum

3/ Your in Division 2 and so far havent you managed your team well enough to make it to the ABBL (possibly would have been more polite to say "lucky enough" to make it to the ABBL), and despite this your casting your judgements and opinions about those who have.

4/ I may not have the tactical smarts of the managers from the other new ABBL teams, but HA has been in the ABBL before, has a stronger team than the other new teams and has the biggest stadium

5/ Objective 1, just may be obtainable if I do indeed manage to pysch one of the new managers in the Great 8 conference, into outtanking Iwen

This year will be interesting for me. I have 2 elite ABBL guys in Kuman and Bergman and a bunch of other guys that are very solid. IF i avoid a horrid injury run like last year and my training goes as planned i should have the depth needed to take a shot at the title this year or next.

If things go bad in the 1st half of the year i may sell off 200-300k worth of players and really save up like C-Cat did at the end of last season. If they go well i should have 2-3 mill to spend at the end of the season and perhaps make a WB style run at a trophy this season.

I'll be tanking one of my games this week as i have a tough Cup draw first up against the Meteors (43 overall) and i'll have to roll out a full squad to slap him around. Bryce and Yoda will just have to wait and see who gets the easy win!

man, I have lost interest in this whatever you want to call it.

all I said was that those objectives of yours can be achieved in D3 so why does it matter if Im inferring whether its hard or easy which after I deleted in like 1 minute? since I dont want to sully what you believe to be such a grand achievement.

then you got all defensive and start implying that Im not in ABBL before so I shouldnt make any comments so yeah, maybe my ego got better of me because I am not one to rent players before playoffs especially with the availability of massive salary big men in the market which is so hard to do...

How can, wanting to continue training , be looking down on the ABBL, when I state that it would be something to celebrate if I could achieve that and the other objectives?????????

how is it not? your announcing out loud that you can train 3 trainees which I assume are 18 years old (since I see no semblance of any trainees on your roster atm) trainees each week... so you can play a 4k guy every game at guard or C position each week and still get a good enough post season record in ABBL to be safely finish 5th or higher.

4/ I may not have the tactical smarts of the managers from the other new ABBL teams, but HA has been in the ABBL before, has a stronger team than the other new teams and has the biggest stadium

i did not at any point imply or infer or anything about your tactical skills, please don't feel insulted. well if you can achieve the feats mentioned above, I salute you.

all im saying is let the managers do what they want to do and dont pressure them into taking paths which only benefit you.

im done. bye.

p.s. telling me to get a grip after you went after a deleted message and write essays about it... and your choice of polite words is off like 2 weeks old milk. how ignorant or inflated your sense of ego must be you be if you actually believe people dont know the meaning of ignorant... these course are just my opinions and in no way should be taken seriously when the fact is that another essay forecoming which is maybe entertaining for the onlooker for this bickering to continue but yeah im done.

Nice weather today isn't it?
