Looks like it is time for the big guns to start moving. Those in relegation have been gearing up for weeks, finally the glacial behemoths are starting to move.

Drunken purchase (think i'm still a bit drunk now!) but was someone i had bookmarked and happy with the buy. Should help with my rebounding which has been a big problem for me this season (proven especially in the PL game against Whitebeard) but at 24 years old he is more of a long term pickup rather than "playing my hand" for this season.

A $166K PF who has spent the entire season training at PG is completly intimidating to me, add to that the age 24 and MVP potential and while beastly now I am sure he can become superbeast!

I actually looked at him, wish I had recorded his skills now, but he is lost in the blur of players wizzing past my eyes at the moment.

I actually thought it was going to be a steal when it was 550k for his skills. Not the skills I am happy with but it will have to do.

Yo! Yo! D for D best PF in D Aussie BB. D Name is Kye Duffill (10080211), averages nothing but pure amazing! Vote for Duffman!

Same with Bert, when it looked like I was getting him for $2,000,000 with 2 minutes to go I was exstatic, but $500,000 later I was just happy.

HA continues to be a dissappointing underperforming team

Well done CCat

I notice that Iwen has put 6 of his players up for sale including that magnificent beast Kosac.


Also notice that BellCats have a couple of their biggest name players up for sale including Velasco

Could put Kosac and Velasco in the HA suits but I guess that would ruin their games

Every time I think I understand the game I am wrong.

BLS is the greatest manager in Aussie history. Rony Borrel is his legendary big man. Four time ABBL all star, been a MVP candidate five times coming third as recently as season 15. So his stats must be amazing right? What a disappointment. He is totally vanilla. He has good stamina and free throws but actually has two atrocious and nothing above marvellous.

How was he the third best player in the ABBL? How was he the starting C for the team that won the National Cup this season? Nothing makes sense.

Haha I totally agree with you! I was utterly disappointed once I discovered the skills of the winning big man. And yet I am thinking that my big men are gonna kick asses in ABBL!!

a) Don't underrate the effect of experience - the prolific experience would turn him from an ordinary player, to a very good one.
b) He's got a bit of JS, which is always handy to have as a centre.

That said, he's nothing more than a good ordinary player, which at 80K wages is hardly unexpected

Re the MVP results, the ABBL was a bit of a different beast even 3-4 seasons ago - the players on teams simply weren't asa good as they are now (and MVP results are hugely biased by team results). For example, if I listed Gafa now, everyone would be underwhelmed by him, but he's a 12 time allstar and MVP winner in season 14... Its all down to two effects I think, experience, and the general quality of teh ABBL being lower back then...
