I like it (I'm sure Malice does too hehe)...

Yup... malice does like.

And Torii - he's just Larry.

The big difference between all the draftees was this....Torii was drafted by Malice not bought, so I thought I would reward the fact that he kept his draftee and is going to give it a go.

I sent him off with 48 minutes at PF so he coudl get his first RB training....

Yes, he popped in Rebounding.

And I am sure Mukai will be on the team before the end of the season.

Great post by Shinaga, excellent questions. Fantastic work here by YC and everyone.

I have some U21 news that may not be viewed as positive by all.

After missing out on all the good players on the draft I entered into negociations with Fendt to bring Ichiro Nishimura back to Kyoto. We have agreed on a price and it is in play. Maybe someone else will outbid me but it is looking like he is coming home.

This will give me a bit of a dilema.

3 trainees.

Ichiro Nishimura (25318371) Center
Weekly salary: $ 15 075
Age: 21
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: MVP

Takayoshi Kawagichi (21305663) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 88 868
Age: 23
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: superstar

Shin Shidehara (24273129) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 20 209
Age: 21
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: superstar

I can't train both inside and outside at the same time so when I do inside "The Shinkansen" will get inside and when I do outside Ichiro will get outside. It will be for the best for all three in the long term but I know this season it would have been best to just blast the primaries of both. BBking has told me I really need to work on the inside skills for Kawagichi this season so that is probably what I will do most weeks if I get him. This week it is already PG training but next week look for a change as long as I win the bid.

This means that I wont be training my very dissapointing draft pick Nori anymore. If anyone has a training slot open I would love him to be trained and I am happy to list him for $1. I don't want money, I want him trained. If there was any legal way in the game to pay to have him trained I would.

Nori Satoh (27821769)
Point Guard
Owner: Kyoto Shogun
Weekly salary: $ 2 175
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: strong
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: inept ↑ Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: awful Free Throw: atrocious

GMs or anyone: Is it allowed in the rules to sell a player and agree to buy him back at the end of the season for an agreed price? What if I said I guaranteed to buy him back for say $500,000 at the end of the season if certain training targets were made such as OD=10?

Hey...Nishimura doesn't look as bad as he is.....1st...He is a NT player for this season....seacond...he has had 2 1 position ID trainings on that Prolific....if you get him....give him an ID training and get that up to sensational. 3rd....His IS is close too...so if you have the chance, give him some 1 on 1 F's...
I think you are getting him at a perfect time...he has high sub-levels on all his skills. he should pop like popcorn. Also...remember this...Wolph thought Yasujiro was a waste of money for swoosh to buy him...and look at him..
Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: prominent
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: average
Driving: prominent Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: marvelous
Rebounding: tremendous Shot Blocking: strong


I think this is what he could look like by the age of 24(maybe 24 and a half)
That is a 100 TSP beast....and then just give him OD/passing/Id until 26 and he will be a monster.

Think of it like this...Right now he is a block of ice...now you have to sculpture him into the player he needs to be.

Let me put it this way, I bought a guy with 11 more TSP for 600k....

NT minutes is a huge plus.....and he bought a player he drafted, what is wrong with that? he also had over 5 million, so now he has 4.1 million...How I look at it...Japanese MVPs are rare. I still think the 400K I spent on Asano was the best I ever spent.

I know his ability to compete in the JBBL just took a serious hit. 900k don't grow on trees.

Are you kidding me...You have a BOT on your side, he is going to be a playoff team, plain and simple. I can also tell you this, ..If I were to draft a Nippon MVP player(even with a hole) I would do what Malice is doing...Training him...You drafted one and sold him for a player from USA, who most likely never make the NT team of the USA. Like I said...Just like when Swoosh bought Yasujiro for 700K...you can't pass up a HOF Japanese player.
So my conclusion is this...Now Kyoto gets to watch his player compete against the best in Asia every Monday. That is a pretty cool thing.
And How is the NT page a joke? Please explain.
