You are in a bit of a bad place, a really bad start they gave you.
Wow cant say I agree with almost any of this advice. If you are a new team there are a few critical things to do right away.
1) Get a level 4 trainer and decide what positions to train - considering many factors the best to train is probably pg or c
2) start training some 18 and 19 year olds (3 or 6)
3) cut all the useless old players you are given at the start - be brutal
4) buy cheap but functional guys at the non training positions
5) start expanding your arena
6) adjust your ticket prices
7) consider how much you want to spend on the draft - I suggest $20,000 a week is ok for your situation
You have no-one worth training at all and you have about 2 days to get some before the trade deadline - dont spend too much, an 18 year old is already nearly 19 etc.
You are certain to be relegated so watch your money- you have no income for a while.
You do get 2nd pick in the draft so try to get at least enough scouting points to do the scouting combine - that tells you the age and height of everyone,
Then i would just put all the 18 year olds on top in height order (if you want to draft a pg go shortest to tallest and vise versa) - you can ignore the "word on the street" rankings - unless they have changed from last season they were worthless.
Then start scouting the guys from the top of your list down, any with less than 3 balls put right to the bottom.
Hope that is helpful, but honestly you are in a bad way. You spend $200,000 on Aldo with 4 x atrocious skills and 6th man potential. Ouch! And you sold him after the trade deadline! Ahh!
