Even though he may be buying a title, he still had to tank a season of ABBL to be to put himself in a position to win a few more ABBL titles. Sure his plan might not go down well with some of you guys, but he still had a plan and will most likely get away with two consecutive abbl titles or more.


I find it hard to think this was a plan - i think he got lucky with the market crash. That said he's done a decent job with the cash since he got it.

I would have spent it a lot differently myself and built a more sustainable team but that's my preference - Bryce can spend his cash as he pleases.

I guess it's a bit like day trading. Quite a few people frown upon it but if you have the time and nous to do it well then good luck to you.

As i said earlier Bryce i've got no qualms with you winning the title. I'm just surprised with the way you have gone about it. I can't believe you think you need 1.6mil in wages to do. Either you are incredibly self aware about having a complete lack of tactical nous and are trying to overcome that or you just are plain silly and feel like burning a pile of cash that you don't need to. I can't see any other reason why you would drop the extra 465k a week on your most recent purchase.

I think your team was going to bolt it in anyhow.

But hey i'm in the playoffs in the ABBL for the first time so what would i know!

I think coachnoodles summed it up pretty well there.

The only positive thing about what you're doing is that you should burn through money more quickly this way and have less of a chance of doing it again. I don't even dislike it for my own teams chances (hell, i still think Bell Park might get over me - assuming he gets past mllama first) i just don't like the overkill and removing any sort of competition and hence, fun from the game.

Fun fact, me and Dire have played each other in the playoffs every season since season 6. I'm sure one of these seasons we will avoid each other...

Anyway, I would imagine we will be seeing a WA v BLS final, barring something remarkable happening

Whats the motivation to win the ABBL apart from the prestige?

Is there any prize money for winning the title like there is in the lower grades?

Nah, there's no bonus money or anything. It's all for the glory!

Ta for the reply

What about entrance to B3 or Buzzerbeaters best?

Does winning the ABBL get you into those games and if so is that worth anything?

I do believe there is credence in the suggestion put forward where by the salaries on the best most expensive "tall" players would be reduced or capped so that they would be more expensive to buy, thus stopping coaches like Bryce Gibbs and myself buying up on cheap high salaried players just before the commencement of finals series.
