Yeah, but rarely today do we find someone who possess the sort of ineptitude to keep pumping his salary towards 400k let alone 300k without having a plan already in mind on how he'd be able to keep him, no matter what the position. And the only bad thing about having any of the 8 is for rebounding on guards
No the guards are out because the salary would balloon with 8 rebounding. In fact I think it's probably next to impossible to make a SG with 8 in all the inside skills. I didn't reiterate the point I made before since I thought we agreed.
The secondaries would kill other big men if the potential and height were high enough that you could train his primaries enough.
Besides I did say this, didn't I?
why you think those all 8s is not a nice thing... because we're dealing with... low potential???
I think it's pointless because you can't create a salary efficient player. At all-star level, the examples you're using, your player will soft cap at 21 probably (3 seasons of training), but his primaries will be too low despite great secondaries. Your guy would be an amazing U21 player, but he's unlikely to be a starter for any playoff team in DII or above.
It's like you prefer this guy: (http://i.imgur.com/2WPbo2c.png)

Clearly having all 8s does remove some control over how and when you can cap a player. I will take your example
more like, I'd prefer this guy:

Now, if you tell me your player takes 4 seasons to make and mine 8, that would be true, but you also have to consider that my guy can be made while yours can't. With a 10x8 starting point your guy would soft cap here:

http://i.imgur.com/CQvmaYx.png. You can't increase RB and ID without increasing SB (and IS without increasing JS), the the salary increases and the guy hits a wall sooner rather than later.
You could be smart and try to expand his secondaries fruther, too bad that his primaries would take a further step back and in that case he'd be probably be a SF rather than a big man. Therefore it only really works (a) to save money and time on the training to obtain an inferior player in the long term but better in the short term, something that you never considered so far; or (b) make a SF.
If the guy has HoF potential on top of starting at 10x8 then it's another story altogether, but this is exactly the reason why I made a point about potential.
