So, i guess my club is predicted to compete for the 4th and final playoff spot. Behind tenn/PV/ and whoever the other team was again, i haven't memorized all the teams in this league yet lol.
Should be fun, looking forward to the season!

Trying something a little different here:

Older players for this year, and maybe next.
Then drop them, for cash.
Build up my younger players on the squad in the D-league (sorta speak) games that don't count or mean to much.
Roll the roster over with perhaps better (young) players 22 tops with extra cash.

We've been here b4 minnesota, not exactly D.111.4 BUT we've done something similar to this in the past, and it worked out for us. Unfortunately those players have aged. Would of been nice to have moved up sooner, but it is what it is.

I should’ve waited a day to do my write-up. Looks like we may have a new favorite!

I don't know how will that plain is gunna work here. I just know it worked in higher leagues. Like i know my younger players aren't ready for the big leagues, so i always use them in non-seasonal games for 2-3 seasons. Drop my older players for like i said, 22 and younger players. The players who have got me to this part, are now all in their 30's besides Ed. I was hoping to have won sooner, that way i wouldn't have to do the whole process over again.
There's alot of good competition here, and i can't wait to get the season started! Btw i bid on those players a few days ago, so i wasn't sure if i was gunna get them or not. These are the guys we are gunna run with for the next couple seasons. I'm not one of those managers that hires players for the playoff push (not that there is anything wrong with that!)

One thing im not thinking about my team is, i feel like were a little 2 heavy on the post, and light on guards, so hopefully we can stay healthy in that area.

Once again, good luck to everybody!!!

We’ll see. Depends how the unit glues together, sort of put together the idea last second. Definitely a championship or bust type of season, full rebuild if I can’t pull it off this season..

Is chemistry actually a thing in this game? It SHOULD be, i know that, because it is an actual thing, just ask lebron lol.

I got a feeling, theres gunna be alot of tight games this season! Injuries and clutch freethrows could very will decide wins and loses

From what I know chemistry is not a thing. My point was more seeing how they all perform together, as I’ve had a team (couple season ago) who looked dominant on paper but just wasn’t a fit for BB offenses. I imagine FTs and Injuries will have a large impact as well

I’m asking a lot out of my star guard, that’s for sure. He’s basically never stepped up but I’ve never been able to let go. He’s like my baby since I’ve trained him for so long haha

its hard to let go of the ones you train. but then you see all that cash you can get and youre like bye bye bye!

this is my last run at promotion, if i dont get it this season im dumping all old players and stockpiling cash for a season and dropping down and coming back up after a season or two with a loaded young roster.
