Should the market continue to freefall how scary are Shanmags and Yodas teams going to be in 2 seasons time when 8 million is going to buy an Allstar roster?


It wont and isn't, it is already steadying a bit. Once prices get "too" low everyone will start buying which will push prices up again. Otherwise the BB's will intervene just like they did when it was too high and probably remove a lot of the FA's to balance it back up again.

Well everyone knows about Bert my $2,500,000 SF but it is my other purchase that tells me the market is still crazy.

Antoni Hołówka (12906911)
Shooting Guard
Owner: Chelsea Seagulls
Weekly salary: $ 44 726
Age: 25
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: proficient

Transfer 1/5/2012 18 Purchased from Free Agency for $ 484 400

A $45k 25 year old SG with no weaknesses (except a slight tendency to foul) who can still get the occasional pop when I do two position training, who was good enough for division II USA for less than $500k. That is madness!

Market may be going down but Iwen still managed to sell 2 players for more than what he paid for them

but the taxes ate it all up... but at least it was a good salary dump.
arent you glade they got sold HA. now you face Zazz who havent bought a team yet instead of iwen and his 4.5mil PF.

zazz's potential team
PG Ton / 100k ($1mil)
SG 150k ($1mil) /
SF 100k ($2mil SG) / Llyod
PF Lawrance /
C 300k ($500k) / 100k ($550k)

so for around 5mil she can assemble a team that is fit for the grand finals. 950k in salary, even more then WA is a dump.

HA certainly is in trouble given the obvious dislike Shanmag has for me and my team

zazz's potential team
PG Ton / 100k ($1mil)
SG 150k ($1mil) /
SF 100k ($2mil SG) / Llyod
PF Lawrance /
C 300k ($500k) / 100k ($550k)

so for around 5mil she can assemble a team that is fit for the grand finals. 950k in salary, even more then WA is a dump.


Iwen has not been pronounced "demoted" as yet but if I was to line up against Zazz's potential team, id expect it to be bigger and badder than the one Koops has "envisaged" and given that HA has the potential to bring in a beast or two, it would possibly need to be

around 5mil


Market has turned around abit with some players making good prices

Couldnt get a bid on Canencia for 739K 4 days ago and today sold him for 1.0826 mill.

Point is Koops that 5 mill may not be enough

Better take your own advice and start spending up on the TL!


Almost had one Zazz.

Had him for a great price and then some Italian div 5 team started bidding on him and pushed him up a 100K.

He bbmailed me an apology stating he thought the player was 33K a week and not 333K a week.

I then had him to myself again, until a Polish div 5 team started bidding on him

With the market being where it is ia am torn on what to do - was planning on selling Bergman, Edwards & Fosco & reloading but i know i'll get bugger all for them. That said i can buy players for a lot less as well.

Got to decide weather 5 or so million will get me what i want i guess.

I was offered 5 million for Bergman a while back and i think i'll be hard pressed getting more that 2.5-3 for him now it seems. If only i had timing like Bryce!

1/12/2012 - Bell Park SuperCats has just sold Irwin Velasco for $ 3 366 000.


Wow just three million for the USA NT SF? I guess he is 28 but still he was amazing, that seems low to me but I didn't see his stats so maybe there is a weakness somewhere.

Bergman is amazing I hace heard him mentioned as the best in his position in the ABBL so not so sure why you would want to sell him but then again as players get older their value drops a lot.

As someone that had $5,000,000 trust me that while the market is patherically low in general, the very best players still command top dollar prices. I was bookmarking heaps of SFs and watching the SF market over weeks and there just weren't any bargains. Now I am doing the same for PFs and it is a bit the same.

On the other hand if you want a C or SG with huge primaries you can get them for almost nothing if you don't care about the age. PGs I haven't looked at as I am building my own.

Nothing like a 250k C to push your wage bill up!

I'm torn at the minute. I Am training a SG although i could make him a PG Bergman is great and Edwards is very very good for his salary but not a true elite ABBL PG. I've always wanted a stupid good SF but am not interested in training one so i figured i could sell Bergman and Edwards, keep training up my SG & buy a SF and PG and have 100k players at all three spots eventually.

I figure i can get a SF for 3-4 mill and a PG for 2 mil but i need to get the right price for my guys if i'm going to do that.
