If I had not received a bot-promotion you would have had an easy victory. You were very short handed in the front court and could have used your new PF. As to the large discrepancy in fouls it could be that you were more aggressive on defense. You did have more field goal attempts 94-77. I shot too many 3-pointers especially since you did not have a good PF available for the game.

You’ll get your revenge in your enormous arena. My attendance was terrible because I set some of my arena prices too high thinking that everything goes up in D3 and not down.

There are games that we are not going to win so we can save our best lineups for the next game while building up enthusiasm.

No recaps today but it looks like several teams played TIE on opening day. Be sure to play TIE against me. I am not going to ruin my season by playing crunch unless I am desperate.

For now I am just enlarging my arena, hoping to win a few cup games, and staying out of last place. My D4 roster will probably not be upgraded any time soon unless I get hit with an injury bug.

I have a draft pick with MVP potential that I might keep but he not good enough to play at all in this league.

That Chinese D3 team who paid $2,718,700 for the 18 year old potential hall of famer is rebuilding what was an old roster. They now have 9 - 18 year olds, 1 - 19 year old, 1 - 20 year old, and 1 - 32 year old. They also added another 18 year old potential hall of famer for $1,595,000.

Their arena size is at 18,520 with a high of 18,144 in their Semi-final.

Yesterday they used a strange 3-man lineup and their new USA player had 38 points, 13 rebounds. Their other new expensive addition only had 6 points, 12 rebounds.

I do not know what is considered to be a reasonable sale price for an 18 year old with hall of fame potential. It is the market that determines prices.

It does seem that they are "penalized" but are they really? First of all they only need to pay the first week of the playoffs, which is not that bad seeing how its only 50%. That week is basically treated as the last week of the regular season and the start of the playoffs. Now comparing it to the real NBA, which is something that should not be done, teams still basically have to pay the player on their last week of work.

Now you may argue that it isn't their last week of work and it was the week before because they won't play a game the following week, but this is the only reasonable reason for it to be "fair".

I think it is the right move because it would stop teams from actually trying to get into that 5th spot. Usually in any real sport, all teams aim for the playoffs, but that does not really happen here since you actually save more/gain more money by not making the playoffs.

I do think that the 2 5th place teams should play against each other, but there would be no reason for that. So until they BB's find a reason for the 2 5th place teams to play each other, this new 5th place thing will be looked as a penalty.

I mean really, a team that did not make the playoffs should really not be better off than the 4th place team, I guess this is a penalty for not making the playoffs then. Whatever at least there will be more competition for the playoffs and more competitions = more fun!


*EDIT* I would agree with Ram who posted after this, but since I'll never be 1st/2nd I won't have to worry about that!

The real "penalty " goes to the #1 and #2 that don't get 2/3 of the revenue anymore.

@Tough part

I don't want to speak for Ram, so I'll put in my own opinion on Tough. I do agree that 3,000 - 5,000 posts in 3 seasons is incredible. Not saying all of them were relevant, but most of them were! Especially his NT/U21 before-game write ups and recaps. I have never read "The Eagle" so I can't talk about that. His posts on the USA NT offsite are very nice as well including the amount of them(868 posts in 7 months).

Anyways "His IV.29 had 307 posts last season compared to 225 posts here" see I posted something similar to this last year when I wrote "Wow this league only had 70ish posts compared to my D4 where it had 200+". Now I didn't see offense in this last year, but now I feel deeply hurt! I don't know if this was an attack or not, but we tried our best to be talkative! To be honest we can include 40 more posts from our Road to Cup thread, but it still is lower than 300.

I do know how much time goes into them. Personally I would have never been able to do what you did in Div IV. for so long. I would much rather do pregame predictions then post game wrap ups.

Actually I wasn't referring at all to his recent language, but more to his lack of spelling and punctuation. I will admit that he has fervor. He can do some decent work if he concentrates on it. But when I think of great posters I think of guys like fewmit (Old Yet Sexy Hippies), hrudey (Rik Smits Clogs), or darykjozef (I'll Replace You with Machines).

And the buying spree for league III.4 still does not end..

Running Red Wolves has just acquired Adil Muham for $ 612 000.

You guys and your loads of money..

I upgraded my PF. Someone has bid on my 33 year old, so I just bought a 24 year old. He'll end up costing me less than 400000 after that sale. I think I got him for a good price. Transfer Price Estimate: There have been 13 recent transfers of 23-24 year old centers with tremendous inside defense and allstar potential. Adil Muham is probably better than all 13 of these players, but the few that are most similar have been selling for around $ 550 000 to $ 1 200 000.

So if I don't like him, I shouldn't lose any money if I resell him.

good to know he has 13ID ...

number counts for transactions should be done by someone in our league LOL

p.s. we are approaching 100 posts in the 1st week of the season! impressive guys!

That can be misleading since I am splitting my posts as I respond to different GMs. Who will have the 100th post?

It is the same in the real world. The rich get richer and the poor stay poor.
