The first purchase I made was an attempt to even the playing field. I was ~$675k salary and >9 enthusiasm against his over $1m salary and ~12 enthusiasm. Then I saw that he had a bid on a $314k guy and I intervened, we got into a bidding war, and I won (lost) as per usual. The third one, which spawned the biggest bidding war between us, was just for giggles, which I hope everyone including LPP will also laugh and celebrate to (particularly if I lose). Because this was obviously extremely dumb. Subconsciously I think I wanted to blow my money so it'll speed up my eventual demotion. I want to demote so bad and just train players. It's the only part of the game I like.

Trust me I'm not laughing. You were trolling me for a day. I'm just interested to see how much money this will cost you.

It is part of the stratagy of the game, like it or not. LPP added a guard and Ragin responded by picking up a few crazy salaried big men. One could argue that they both have tried to buy the Cup with their recent purchases.

Injuries have made the first half interesting, lets see what happens in the second...

Congrats HTG - I wish you victory in the finals. You showed that my team still has a long way to go. As for me - I'm still amazed I made it to the semis.

You do realize that it's impossible to pick up a player for 1 game, right? A player has to be on your roster for 4 days before you can re-sell him, so add 3 more days on the transfer wire and that makes 7 days. So he buys a $300,000 player, has to pay that salary for at least 1 week and then likely sells the guy for the same price and more often that no, less than he bought the player for.

So if anyone buys a player for the short term, they have to have extremely deep pockets and it can be an very expensive rental.

Well said.

I suspect Ragin is going to take a significant lose on these players as he was in a bidding war with LPP to get them. I highly doubt that any of them will sell for close to what he sells them for.

With that said I applaud him, he made a deep run with his regular roster and decided that he wanted a Cup so he improved his roster to get one. It takes cash and kahoonas :)
