The training would be included in the initial price of the contract.

I don't see a problem with knowing your opponent's skills. If you're in any league, you can watch a tape of their game(s) and learn their skills quite quickly. It's unrealistic not to know their skills.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Perhaps if the fan survey was adjusted to incorporate broken contracts. I know it happens now but I think with contracts it could be done more severely, with justification. Which fan wants to go and watch their city take on another city, when they don't even know who will be playing that night?

It's interesting that you make out as though I am affected by confirmation bias, but you deny your own.

A constant rotation of players in and out of the team will affect the fans more than this one part of the fan survey. At the beginning, maybe, they might get over it. After a while, not many will come to the games. I see your point that the fan survey is trying to address this. Now, see my point that it fails or, at most, falls very short.

you can the games here too, and get an idea about them. If they should be public or not is another thing, but i like how it is today.

The training would be included in the initial price of the contract.


should we also set our lineup and training regimes, one season in advance? Even i had several player who double there salaries withn a season, and i am not talking from 5 to 10k, you can even train from 40k to 120k within a season.

That's a silly suggestion. If you did that you would lose for sure. Surely the tactics of buzzerbeater would get you beaten if everyone knew what your strategy was.

Another reason to advocate contracts would be that it would put a more natural state to the BB economy, rather than BBs (or whoever does it) injecting free agents back into the system.

If it was set up with contracts, the player would always be there, ready to play. All they'd need is someone to ask them to play (sign them up).

Ok, you got me on a semantic. I'm not going to look back to see if I did or didn't say it. The point remains that the fan survey isn't realistic.

so if you sign a 80k, 21yo Center for three years:

- he might be an 200k center in his klast contract year easily

- he might be consider finished and perfect for the team and remain an 80k center

- can massively trained out of position and end of at an 110k PF

How you put that into one contract? Without knowing the exact training regime.

In reality where you get your ideas, the player will progress a bit but not that massive like here. Here it is possible to play like Kyle Visser this season, and next season perform like Dwight Howard. Yes they improve, but that are really small compared to here.

Well you set the training regime, so you set what price you are willing to play for that player. Others will do the same.

If you want to keep his salary low, you train him in secondary skills. That's your choice. It's good to have choice, no?
