When my team was good and I could pontificate about things, I used to to think that an NBBA team is about as good as their third best big man and third best guard.

Technically this was false, but it was just to say that you can get a lot by abusing your opposition during those 10-12 minutes when their backups are on the court.

It's also why doing d.II whilst carrying Nielsen's 216k salary is so difficult, cause at this level one is much better off splitting those 216k into two 108k power forwards.

The blame rests on me though since I sold my third guard before I realized I didn't have a home game that week, so I missed out on 260k. A stupid overlook that's going to take a large chunk of the season to make up for.

this is from BuzzerManager:

team salaries
Lake Merritt $540 049
UK 516 589
Window Lickers 468 762
Bruins 458 080
RedBull 444 354
Eugene 440 199
The Hawks 424 760
Corn Growers 420 454
ChiTown 406 253

We have a long way to go, but one way of looking at this is to see who will be in a position to add some salary the last 2-3 weeks of the season. Carrying over $500,000 in salary for the entire season, especially when combined with low stadium revenues, is tough to do. this is the story for UK and Lake Merritt -- although both teams have NT players which probably go a good ways to paying for themselves through merchandising.

But the Bruins are making big gate revenues and just behind them are the Hawks. Both are winning, both teams are 8 deep, and both can take on $60 000 to $100 000, at least for a few weeks, and both will probably have some cash by the end of the year. i think, right now, these are the teams best positioned to win. (one other trait -- both have coaches who pooh-pooh their chances of winning a Cup game against a DVI bot team.)

For that matter, the Corn Growers, and to a lesser extent, ChiTown, are raking in big revenue bucks and will probably be in a position to make some positive moves, although probably not this season.

Holy crap, my record sucks. I have to start paying more attention. I may have to flame out of the cup and focus on game shape and try to win some league games. I hate to give up the enthusiasm bonus though but it hasn’t been much of a help so far.

No. Keep sucking.

I did get my PG, though, so my team is as good as it will get this season. Let's see what happens.

It seems my 'throw out a BS lineup and get 50k thursdays' have come to an unfortunate close.
