If the market for 200k centers is small, whats with the market for 200k guards? Bigger, smaller or same size? Why are those players much more expensive? Sustainability is the same problem for those guys, innit?

Because number of Centers with big salary is higher than number of Guards.
Market for 200k+ Centers and 200k+ Guards is the same. But different is number of players on these positions.
In game we have on every position following number of players with salary over 200k:
33 x PG
47 x SG
1 x SF
25 x PF
332 x C
Demand is the same but supply of C is 10 twice higher than supply of PG. And we see simple mechanism of demand and supply.
And multiskilled PFs (and Cs too), with salary over 200k but with sum of 10 basic skills over 110 are expensive on TL the same as Guards.

Thats what I am saying all the time. And how come the amount of centers is 10 times bigger? I bet one of the reasons are those free agents that flood the market for seasons now, somebody should have monitored the amount of those players...

Did a little checking. How many centers above 150k/wk on the market right now are free agents? 0 out of 66. So while there might possibly be some tenuous link between free agents and plethora of expensive big men, I don't see it. It is because centers are easiest to train, and your average internet user likes easy things. Besides which, he doesn't understand about cost-effectiveness, just that a guy with three gold or green skills is gonna whip ass in his d.3 league. Then when the salary update comes around he sees that he can't afford that guy anymore so he sells him and starts another.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

How do you get those numbers ?

And a third rain shower of facts for good measure.
Searching the TL for 200k+ salary players.
Found 40 players.
2 PG, 3 SG, 2 PF, 33 C.

It's biased because Cs salary raise faster but it remains there is an oversupply of this particular type of player hence why they go for cheap.

It's long story... What do You know about midi-chlorians?
In last two season I used few players with salary over 200k and played against most of them, so it was my job and I had to know it.

Midi what ? :))) I know nothing about it, it sounds like something contagious, I am not sure I want to know ;)

So I guess it's private data, I thought it might be public :)

There seem to be no quality free agents on the market right now. So?
