Hey, that acquisition was made well after the season predictions. We'll see if Olgerts makes a difference, but I'm focusing on the cup right now. I will admit that after looking at the league for my post about the predictions, it looked at least a little wide open. The top teams are pretty much already guaranteed the playoffs, and all you guys have big time inside players. It only makes sense.

I'm definitely not training game shape, though. I'm working those inside trainees so that I can afford to buy players like Olgerts when the opportunity is there.

I was referring to the first post, but I'll stand by the followup. One of the teams in our division has a player they paid $1.5M for. I maintain that team is the favorite.

PS- From the first post: "my guys are at least a year away, unless I can find a player to get me into the mix." I'll admit to being in the mix, but that's as far as I'm going.

That 1.5 million dollar player was young and earns 20k a week. Yours earns over 80k a week. You're the favorite.

I would rank IV.46 like this:

1. Sir Chewbacca
2. Flying Marsupials
3. CC Mavs / Junkyard Dogs (toss-up)
4. Miami Raves
5. LebronCavsReturn

Philadelphia Fish, Brinktown-Bombers, Spearmint Rhinos, St. Pauls and China Bowls are decent teams but I don't really consider them contenders.

China Bowls, Dominate Viper, Nova Strikers, Super Potatoers and Young Gunz aren't very good.

Obviously, we very strongly disagree about Sir Chewbacca, who is paying the highest salary in the league. Junkyard Dogs, you and Miami Raves is more debatable. But Marsupials? No way my team is better than theirs.

Ah Sir Chew Sir Chew, Most of that highest salary is going to one old old player. Take him out of the equation and he is down with the lowest salary. Kinda of reminds me of Trotter or Irizary salary cap killers except atleast they were young. Sir Chew has not made any bones about training his young ones also. So, I don't have high expectations this season for a long playoff run.

Now for your 20 - 2 last season team. Its true Flying has the best players but I think you pay more attention to your team and will have them ready this season and if I remember correctly you had a major injury at the end of last season.

Also, that old player has already lost two ranks since I bought him, so the salary is inflated. Even still, my total payroll is $180K and the top two guys are earning $110K. $70K for the other 10 players isn't much.

Lebron, you've got 7 players at $10K+, by far the deepest in the league, even counting FLY's injured guy. I will be in the playoffs, but will be lucky to get a home game. You're in the running for top seed.

Coach, don't sell yourself short, either. Miami Raves will be exposed outside your division. You're probably setting up TIE for the last 7 games of the season and still getting the top seed. You're going to have a big attitude advantage going into the playoffs. If you want to promote, this is a great year to grab one more player to get you over the hump.

I'm going to chase the III seed this season, if i sed my roster is not good enough, i will just spend my money on my arena. This will be an intresting seson my friends! Flying marsupans are still 1 on my list but we are not even half the way on the seson so many this can change.

Well, we have finish one 1/3 of the season and there are a couple of front runners. But, like it's been said, Great 8 has better teams than the Big 8 so Leme and myself will be tested. BTW, good game Leme you threw everything at me and it was fun to watch.
