What ever happened to Ulysses Hudgins? He was borderline NT at age-24 as a tremendous defender/rebounder/passer and now he's not listed on this tracking, or even on the offsite depth chart at any position. I would have figured he'd easily be the starting SF with Hall shifted to PF by now. I see his salary's only 67k (which is actually a jump from where it was), but it still somehow feels like a mistake. Doesn't make sense that Gaudreault (who I fought for to make the team multiple times) could possibly be better than him.

I was just talking to Statsman (owner of a 24 y/o SF) and saw BBallin pegged his guy (Perez) as an outside SF. Felt weird to me but maybe it's because of the depth we're going to have at SF or something. Hudgins, Kaimakis, Spadaro, Moyles, Perez (to name a few) are all on a great pace and would make quality NT SFs.

Also, regarding Michael Fotheringham's skills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euI3v2jpTlI (in all honesty he's still fixable but... wow)

He is very fixanle, but manager wants him to play PG on offense and C on defense. He said that if Fotheringham is sure to make Nt he can change but I couldnt guarantee that. Hoping that if 2nd manager speaks with him he might change his mind.

Hudgins didnt improve much in last seasons. Not sure how he slipped through NT scout program though. I will double check his skills. Thanks for heads up. Hope I didnt miss on more players.

I'd suggest you let him know he'll make it if he reaches certain skills (and I guess still dependent on whoever is managing in 2-4 seasons from now). The other option is to try to see if he's willing to sell if you can line up someone to buy. I'd love to pick up a player like that, but it just doesn't fit my training plans.

Hudgins was on last season's depth chart, so maybe double check the previous season's list after you've used the NT scout program? (or vice versa)

If you want to switch your Marc Fortin (32679718) for any of my players, that may work out best. The Mangs owns one of my assigned players (33559388) along with your Fortin, and The Mangs also own several (too many) other high quality trainees, so it's a pretty delicate process and if we give him mixed messages it could complicate things even further or frustrate him. I've already messaged him about his number of high quality trainees.

My third player (32679098) is owner inactive as of 6/25/14. Not sure if anything can be done. If you want to switch assignments with him and Fortin that would work.

Kearin maybe? Might be behind for his age but I thought he was solid. His low stamina makes him look worse than he is.

He will go bot on the 4th or 11th?

Ok Stajan, I gave you Fortin for Cobb. Were you able to find Perez or should I look up his player id once I get back home?
And I think that enthusiasm reset happens before Proux is supposed to retire so I can save him but that would cost a roster spot. Honestly, I think it might be worth it since we are not using 18 of them.

Ok guys, took quick look at depth chart and found couple more guys (thanks Stajan!).

Now there are total of 5 unassigned trainees. That means we just need one brave manager to step up! Come on guys, just one more person and this thing will work.

Ok. Cobb's owner has multiple (4) solid trainees and he seemed receptive to my idea of possibly selling one in order to get his 3 Canadians optimal training and to upgrade his SG position with the money from that sale. Win-win maybe. Regardless, Cobb's currently getting training.

I got Perez's skills and his training plan is ideal.

Proux might be worth saving. If he's training, it looks like he gets less than 48 mins often (always when eliminated from cup, etc) but his potential alone is valuable. Hm.

Well, right now there are 15 players on the roster. Hudgins was added. I dont think anyone outside of this group has a serious chance this season so 1 spot for saving a player shouldnt be a problem.
Two things though:
- we need someone to be ready and have funds secured to pick him up
- can you take a look at calendar and confirm that he will go bot on 11th?
- at what salary are players saved on default? Is it 10k like it used to be or were some changes made?

Also, looks like Cobb is also your guy so you will be doing some OT work ;) Great job so far guys!

I will volunteer to buy him if he becomes available. Funds are not an issue...
