You've made the playoffs every season except for one... it's not that surprising you haven't had a decent draft pick!

I don't understand why some people are ready to spend 20k/week or more for the draft when you can secure a really fine trainee (I've seen some 5.4k, 190cm superstars with fine secondaries and primaries) for around 300k. You pay a lot of money during the whole season when you don't even know if: 1. There is a good draftee in your pool 2. You'll get him or another fine one.

Draft is overrated!

the extra 30-50k a week in merch once that star player gets good is generally the reason.

gotta love that 7'3" ... pity about the 3 atrocious skills and the Potential. But he fits into my training plan for this season, so all in all, a good result.

The Draft.

You always hope for the best, but in the back of your mind you always know she'll disappoint you, but you try anyway.

And you get burned.

Season after season.

But you keep trying.

Cause one day... she may turn around and give something back.

Or not.
