Okay. I get it now. Again, while I basically agree with you, I also see how many times the best players are not the most expensive. Look up Barry Zito. (As a lifelong SF Giants fan, I cringe just writing the name...)

In my opinion, the onus is on the trainers to get the most productive/cost effective players and on the managers to let salary monsters die. Now I guess that for NT the salary monster really is better than the multi-skilled so there are people willing to take one for the NT in order to keep these guys floating. I was Thai NT coach for long long time but never had a monster on the team, so I don't know. I do know that people like JosefKa have trained a salary monster and kept him on their own team. He is one of the most expensive playesr and one of the best, so it is possible. I do wish that there could be some sort of clarification that a multi-skilled will actually outperform a monster, but that's not the BBs way of doing things,a nd it doesn't seem to be true at the top end of the training scale. Luckily, for the majority of the users players with salaries under 20k are the norm, and in those cases a multi-skilled palyer is defintiely better than a monskilled player. I know because I won several titles ealry on with team salaries far less than the teams I beat.

Instead of calling for training players endlessly without an increase of salary (after a certain point), it would in my opinion help to be able to exclude players from training. That way I could play my dominant C on his natural position and still be able to train inside skills. Or keep my PG playing as a PG and still be able to train 2 other players in passing.

It´s the one thing that really annoys me at BB:
- When training a player: You have to play him out of position a lot of the time for training purpose.

- Once you think he is done: You often have to take him out of position again to avoid training and therefore an increase in salary you couldn´t afford. That´s ridiculous.

Rich people can own a couple of Lambos and still do well financially. Its not like they would buy on at the beginning of the month and sell him again at the end of the month because they found out it was too expensive.

i would compare it more betwen 2 similiar cars, where one is owned by a tuner and the other by a regular guy. The tuner put a lot of money into his car, but when the car get selled the regular guy get more money even when the tuner put a lot of effort into reducing the heigth of the car, making a nice paintjob and replacing several parts of the car.

Yes paying dude more for what they bring on the court would be nice, but that is hard to to do to measure everything correct. So it is in responsibility for the trainer, to tune their players in a reasonable or good way.

International Centers (salary 230-270) been sold for less than 500K.

I´m gonna start to think BB is almost death, this is indigne!

And more...I just sold a C 25yo, 101K salary, trainable and normal secondary skills (no 1 and 2, JS and Driving 8), Reb 17, IS 15, ID 15...for 625K.

If we keep a market of big men like this...we can be closing the door and throwing the key to the river.

It´s like if Lakes said: I don´t wanna get Howard for Bynum, I´ve to pay Kobe and Gasol....yeah, sure...ridiculous.

But why don't you buy more of those centers if they are good and cheap ?

They are cheap because there are too many of them compared to the number of teams in need for them and capable of sustaining their salary.
They should naturally retire in large numbers and the problem would be solved but this process is impaired by NTs, people trying to speculate on their selling price and reckeless newbies.

You are an unhappy seller but soon a happy buyer.
