believe it or not that was the biggest market before the 10x salary was introduced

When you can get $30-40,000 salaried free agents for $200,000 why is there a great demand for $10,001-$17,999 Cs?

Because players that have salaries of $40,000
will cost you $420,000 more a season than players with a salary of $10,000.
At many levels that's significant.
But, more like the biggest differences as players salaries go up.
I can afford to buy a player with a $100,000 salary
but I can't pay his salary very long
that's why I have my top guys right now in the 50-70 range.

12 000 for players with their best position determined as point guards while shooting guards have it raised to $14 000, small forwards to $16 000, power forwards to $18 000 and centers to $20 000.

I think well build SF can cost 11.999k and will be very good player. SF can have 12k and PG,SG,PF - 16k C - 20k if I well understood this change I do not agree with it.

I assume that this change is based on solid data and quite alot player moves. Let´s see how it works out before we pretend it to run into the ground, won´t we?

OK, we have no other choice, we must test it :)

I dont understand this change, as I dont think that such a small change will have an impact. Is there really such a big market for 10-15k free agents?

A huge majority of the teams are in the lower divisions and are not in the market for $100K players so these are the prices of the players that teams need in those divisions. And yes, the market prices of these players continues to fall every season just like it has with the higher priced players.

Its kinda a snobbish to assume that every change should only have an effect the top tier teams dont you think.

Whats snobbish about my initial question? U got a migraine, or whats the reason for your snotty statement?

I assumed that Div IV and V would rather be in the market for 20k players, maybe thats naive. Snobbish? lol.

I was not trying to offend you. My apologies.

I look at my roster, I am ranked top 2000 in the world and more than half of my roster falls into the $10000-20000 in terms of salary. One player in this range starts for me while the rest comprises my bench + trainees.

I cant speak for every country but when I was in D4 I didnt have a single player on my roster over $10000 in salary. That is probably very rare but most D4 teams would likely be looking for starters in this price range. In bigger countries this would likely be the equivalent of D5. In D3, most of my roster fell into this price catetory as did most of the rosters in my league.

To me, this is a very significant player range, probably the biggest in the game. Many trainees fall into this range, starters on the lower division teams (which comprise a majority of the teams in BB) and bench players on upper division teams. Plus if the market for these players suddenly spikes in price, some of these owners will start looking at players in higher price ranges as an alternative. It wont be huge but there should be somewhat of a ripple effect to increasing the price of the higher priced players. That is my opinion anyways.
