Hmmm - when would you say is the best time to blow it up?

People, draft location, possible cash flow issues....

I'm a fan of blowing up after a Cup loss - usually the middle of the season. At that point you can evaluate whether to try that season or rebuild. Also, you can generally pick up decently trained 18/19 year olds at better prices than the rush at the start of the season. Best time to buy is after the playoff deadline, but you usually have to suck up 1-2 weeks of salary against a lack of income and that makes new additions seem more costly especially if you are no longer in the playoffs.

There has been significant deflation this season - you can get a starting quality center (>$120k salary) for under $2M. Even some older guards are on the market with wond OD/JS for $2.5M or so. I have seen Marv/Marv for about the same as well.

For me, it took a while to get back to a decent starting five. I'm still relatively worse on guards, but that should improve next season. After training for many seasons inside guys, I'm hoping that shifting to guards two seasons ago will help the team to be more competitive in a more efficient manner. Still waiting to see if that is the case. I'm curious how much Silverbacks guards will pop in salary for next season...

It is hard to really grow training big men. The exchange rate on top flight guards vs big men is rough and you are often spending more on salary because you have down low monsters on the roster eating up cash. I am considering just switching to guard training after finishing up Yusuke or an outright roster detonation and enjoy a free fall for a season or so while sucking in money and draftees.

Boom! There go the Pyros!

yeah that's really to blow it up

Pyros! Blowing up! Kaboom!!!
This is making for a pretty smooth relegation game. Checking the progress of this game, I'm breaking every record in the book! Halfway through the second quarter, I'm up 68-12 and my team is shooting 27-37. Can't wait to see what the final score's gonna be...

I'm glad he kept 3 guys so it was not a forfeit.

Of course, it doesn't help that one of the guys fouls out before half!

My favorite stat from the blowout... Assists: Chunks 55, Pyros 2. That 23-2 steals difference both makes me think blowout, but also makes me wonder how his PG managed to get those 2 steals.

So you guys are all stuck with my Chunky team for at least one more season! I'm hoping the Great 8 inherits a couple of real doormats from D.III for a change. I'm tired of these seasons on the edge where I'm wondering if this season will be the one I don't survive. I'm also wondering if we'll see some of the teams in our league finally cutting some serious salary loose and try to turn more of a profit rather than roll a bunch of $70k salary guys every game.

Couple of nice pickups by the promotees - should be interesting...

Its crazy the difference between my guy and a guy whose salary was 50k less a month and nowhere near the skills was going for 300k less. I had been watching the market for a bit. I still think i need to add one more big guy to my rotation or a better SF then i can think about staying above .500.
