I wonder what AZ Desert Storm's cash flow looks like this year. Regardless, they are the team to beat and I give them props for having a nice long-term strategy. Last year, they blew chunks ... and probably amassed $$.

It seems that the rest of us are all playing for #2, which I know from personal experience pays little or nothing. But, perhaps they will go bankrupt before finishing the season ... or have injury problems ...

If not, have fun in the NBBA


There is no question I cannot sustain this payroll for a 2nd season here in D2...However, Bankruptcy is not remotely possible this season, and I have enough that I think I could juggle things in the event of an injury...but that would really suck because i like my team :-)

I am thinkng about selling my backup bigs and adding a 3rd monster big for the playoffs and running with a 3 big rotation. My current bacckup center gets the job done, but he's a pretty big drop off; plus my backup bigs are OLD!...2 seasons ago, I ran with a 3 big rotation and liked it...Teams like Technical Fouls have such depth at bigs, I am afraid my weak backups could be exposed in a playoff game.

You heard it here first folks. AZ needs a performance enhancer before he will expose his "big" during the moments others will be watching. However, he has no problem exposing his "small guys" all season long.... Also of note, my big has such great depth.

My time here in II.4 is done. I'm sliding down and hopefully can clear up some of the frustration and find the fun in BB again.

I feel for you, TnT. I know that I have had a lot of that same frustration over the past seasons—and you have been one of the ones who have encouraged me. So hang in there, good friend!

This season has been a dog fight, punny or not. I was wondering when the first team would sell off. Hoping 2-3 more do too. :) This has been frustrating for most in this series that sticks around, treading water, watching the surprise team promote out almost every season. I can't find a training program that I like enough to stick with for more than one season nor one good enough to feel I can stick too and finish .500 or better in this league...

Not that this is breaking news or anything but there's a remarkable disparity in team salary this season that's only widening as the season goes on. I separated the three tanking teams from everyone else. My team isn't quite at USA Elite's level of salary efficiency, but nonetheless I'm very happy with my performance this year as I build for a title run in a season or two. Will definitely help to replace a few of you guys with (hopefully) weaker III promotees.

So....A scrub I bought to fill in for my game against absent/punting Little Rimrockersl and has only played 1 game for me, finished 3rd in Small Forward voting, and had twice as many voting points as my starting PF. Great formula BB!

That's a bummer...hopefully you don't follow Pappy's path and bounce right back here again...I hope you do have fun with your new plan. Good luck my friend!
