Please whatever happens don't let this come true. If it wasn't for Yokozuna not wanting to be in the playoffs and throwing games the Sapporo Fighters despite their millions of spending this season wouldn't have even made the playoffs.

I have many millions in the bank and with more notice could have easily have created a team of random old $200k a week guys that could have given the platoon some competition.

Suerly you aren't quitting over an injury. You did name your team the Trailblazers so whose fault is it? Injuries are part of basketball, just ask Brandon Roy and Greg Oden. Same in this game. You only paid $500k for your C so I doubt he is your best player.

As for me last season I lost Hirofumi Sonoda NT player who is 5th in the league in scoring this season but in divisio 2 dominated scoring, rebounds and rating and was robbed of the league MVP probably because of the injury.

This season I have lost for at least 2 weeks 3 of my top 5 players, all starters. Kaname Kouzuki who is 3rd in the league in rebounding, Daisaku Kawaida who is 10th in the league in assists and Umari is out right now and is my best guard.

Injuries suck. Especially at this time of the season. But they are a part of real basketball and are much milder here, no career ending ones or ones that disable you forever.

It is not like you don't have a team, just maybe you will have to find a tactic besides look inside. Ben Usman ($220k SG) Mathias Budiarso ($170k PG) and Alpár Göncz ($81k SG) can surely create some sort of offence between them. And it is not like you have no bigs. Patryk Madany ($150k PF) is a baller and Torquato Marchi ($110k C) still make up one of the most impressive lineups in the league. Even before this injury your biggest hole was at PG/SG where you have no depth.

Pickup a backup guard and it is still likely you can advance to the finals.

YC suggested firing Gilbert Hormigos which was the best financial move, but it is nice to see that you are willing to take the hit to your wallet to keep him around for someone else's benefit..

Gilbert Hormigos is fantastic. Great secondaries and a fantastic player. I just wonder at this time of the season who will be wanting to buy an injured 32 year old? 1 funny thing he is spookily close in skills to my big man Kaname Kouzuki. I mean spooky. Well there are three exceptions DR and HA are better for you which I envy and SB is MUCH, MUCH better for you which I don't envy because I am not sure it is worth the extra $76,000 a week.

I hate to say it, but he actually has 1 more passing. I know he has this rep as all atrocious secondaries but it actually isn't true.

It is funny that SB on guards is great but on bigs it is too expensive unless they have no IS. Some day it may be fun to make an anti-LI team. Have all your big men with off the chart ID and SB but really low IS, same with your guards and watch the LI teams (like me, if you can't beat them join them) smash into a wall time and time again.

Why didn't Sapporo buy somebody lastnight....he knows Wolph only has 7 players. Just silly if you ask me..

or just plain &*&%$$
It was exciting lastnight...last week I couldn't sell Tupac for 650K and then chinese/Italian/spanish teams went buck on him...got a million for him(92% due to tax)
the crazy thing was..up until 10:05pm there were 2707 users on and then it dropped to 607 by 10:15..and then at 10:20(when players can't play in playoffs) I jump in and poach a SG beast for 1.3 million...Crazyness...

Worst.

Manager.

Ever.

oh- if the guy you got is that good, it may be that you were one of few that could actualy see his listing.

If? Prodigious passing and prominent IS...110 TSP not including Stamina or FT and he is 26 turning 27(still some what young)....just think about this..with Tupac and his 13 passing I was getting prominent low O Flow ratings...with this guys 16 passing and me giving Asano and Kozeneki passing trainings in two weeks...I could get some prolific high ratings....now I am going to tank except for cup games...and then add two beast( a big and a back up G) in the middle of the season....should be and could be very interesting.
