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?

So I disagree that free agents play anything but an insignificant role in the large number of wage monster centers in this game.

So you were wrong hinting at an obvious correlation between the larger supply of centers and the FA rules.

It was a reply to one of your statements.
You are not following the discussion very closely, are you ? :)

edit : sorry for the echo, beaten to it...

You all know that free agents are put on the market a couple of times a year and sometimes there are no FAs at all on the market. How does that degrade my theory that there were too many FA centers in the past? With the new rule that such players cant be retired their value will drop even more...

Everything is done for equilibrium in this game and then we see 10x more 200k+ players at center than at every other position. How is that something that adds to stability and equilibrium?
