I tend to train bigs/guards/bigs/guards... and so on. K-Mat was part of my bigs group (when I trained multiple nationalities), and Torii, Tomioka & now Mori (3rd trainee - but only PA pot) are part of my guard group. Next time I'm up for trainees, I'll focus on bigs too (stopping one or two of my 3, and picking up a big). My training's cyclical.

edit: I too will try & pick up a Japanese trainee for my Ute team.

Thanks for grabbing him. I was up and watching but wasn't going to bid against you. Just as long as one of us got him. I'll be ready for the next guy.

Ahhh... the only reason I bid on him was because I thought you were probably in bed (you hadn't bid past 9k). Sorry dude!

Hmmm, in hind sight I guess I should have done something to make you aware I was there. Like posting one bid or sending you a note.

If having him is trouble for you then we can try to pass him over through the market. But otherwise I'll keep my eyes open for another guy.

So, to bridge the gap I'm going through and scout all our players again and try to identify a few that are not ideal but can bridge us through with a little work.


He is not even close to the NT stars of the present but better than those of the past like Hirofumi Sonoda so maybe worth a look as a backup however I will warn you he is annoying he capped super early & fouls out a lot.

Ichiro Nishimura (25318371)
Power Forward
Weekly salary: $ 80 113
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 357300
Age: 28
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: MVP
Game Shape: respectable

I think we do have time. You can make a mono-skilled big in 4-5 seasons although better well rounded ones take ages.
32 Tohru Asano
31 Kouzo Yasujiro
30 Katsurou Matsumoto Eita Wakatsuki
29 Takayoshi Kishita

So the first 2 guys are basically in trouble but the next 3 have at least 4 good seasons left & maybe longer with career extension trainers. Only 5 bigs on the team does show a lack of depth.

Not at all! Just feel a bit guilty for nabbing him from you...

Nishimura's not too bad. Not at the level of the current guys but he has good secondaries. Wish he was a year or two younger. Might have a spot for him but let me evaluate our other options first.
