Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I tried to transfer Lorenzo Capps but no one wanted him. So I decided to keep him and he gave me what I expected. A crap performance. I mean, I just tried to get rid of the guy so I can't expect much more than that.

However, Lowell Webber has played horrendous this season and alot of that could be attributed to running a Man defense as compared to our normal 3-2 or 2-3 depending on the opponent.

I'm at a crossroads right now. I want to blow my team up but doing so creates the risk for relegation something I do not really want to do.

Cantrell and Partridge are safe. Webber and Capps are looking to be transferred although Capps is the leading candidate.

I did decide to TIE the Cresleys looking more to build up my enthusiasm for and manage the team's Game Shape for tougher games coming up. I never expected to win, especially considering that with all of the analysis I've managed to do, Donghao, Diehl, and others ... they have some fantastic players but are just playing in a tough as nails conference.

I think the problem is both of your SF have a high physical factor. Hence they both pick up too many fouls. I would just keep trying to sell one of them. I posted Leon twice before he sold so....

I think blowing up your team this late in the season would be a bad idea. Hold out for the year and make some moves in the off season and early next year.

Even if you blow up your team and not win more game-which won't happen- you are going to get the homecourt in relegation series in the worst case scenario. You have nice pieces which will win some games here and there no matter what, so I don't beleive you should worry about relegation. But you are the one who knows this team best and it's up to you to choose the way to go.

That's very true about the fouls. They are constantly picking up fouls. Lorenzo Capps has played a RNG SG most of his career as a Goat and I started playing him as a SF this season even though BB has listed him as a SF since I joined. Lowell Webber is a 6'11" SF that if I could figure out how to train his OD and ID, then he'd be a beast. He shoots poorly majority of the time and his inside scoring is average at best. I really want this team to focus around the PG/SF/C relationship with the SG and PF being complimentary parts.

Moving Capps to SF and bumping Webber down was an attempt to make my bench stronger. I'm going to have to continue attempting to move Capps because of his age and hope I can find a buyer.

I've got a lot of decisions to make during this latter part of the schedule and heading into the off-season.

@Indi - as always, love the recap. thanks for doing it.

@Plotts - How do you know that his SF's have as you termed it a "high physical factor" What does that mean? Is there really a skill I can look at to determine if one of my players is going to be more prone to fouling?

thanks in advance.

It has been stated on this site that there's a hidden "skill" in determining a players physicality. I looked over both the SF's stats and noticed they incur a lot of fouls. It's more educated speculation, but I have owned players with a high physical skill before and fouls are a big tell.

One of the BB's mentioned how it can work to your benefit too. I believe he said they also draw fouls from opposition and that gets you to the free throw line in some cases so...

Booshes is right. I had a guy last year - most of you might remember - a PF who had a horrible penchant for fouling and creating injuries. He was most certainly a physical player.

The Physical Attribute is True. Check out Carmona on my team. He is a stud when he does not foul out. He often has games where he fouls out in 20 minutes or less. The BB guys say that the physical guys also benefit from that as well. Not sure how. But if you want to see the league leader in fouls check out carmona. Also he is near the top in FT attempts so it seems to run both ways.....

Just curious here guys, but what's the stamina of the players being mentioned? My guess is that this is simply part of the stamina factor. This game is essentially one big algorithim and as such must operate within the known variables. It could be that the perceived physicality is a factor of the player's post position skills and that a player who has a penchant for fouling out simply does not have the game shape or stamina to keep up with they player they are matched up with.

I think that explanation is much more likely than a hidden physicality factor. But who knows.

You could be right. Their stamina is mediocre and inept.

good call I would tend to agree with the assessment on stamina being a large factor.
