Whats wrong with that strategy? If you can't compete in a given season what is the point in spending money on a roster that isn't competitive?

Personally I have no problem with whats going on. Of course, Im doing the same thing running at -150k a week with a 450k roster, and it is my last ditch effort to make it to D.II as well. The difference though is that there really are teams out there that have other goals. Such as mine, if i dont make it this season then I go into a very long rebuilding mode with getting 3 great 18yos and relegating down to D.IV. It happens in the NBA more than you think. Take the Atlanta Hawks for instance. They ran with quite a high salary roster for three seasons, including making Joe Johnson the highest paid player in the league. However, they just decided to destroy it and rebuild. It happens. Crap happens that destroys the chances of some teams winning a championship. All that means is you have to wait your turn and try to build your team so that when the time does come, you wont lose the opportunity.

It would be like the Nets spending Millions on lux tax for 1 season while they try to win a title, and if they don't achieve that then the owner just can's the entire organization.

That happens all the time across all sports leagues.

Perhaps make a rule that you need to have a player in your team x amount of weeks before he can be sold

That's already a rule.

(or drop that %age of the sale down to like 40% for 1 week, 50% for 2 weeks, 55% for 3 weeks 60% for 4 weeks)

That's also already a rule.

This is exactly what my team is going through, I'd prefer it if we met in D2 and not in D4 again haha.

BB is a marathon and a large chunk of that is luck, I dislike certain aspects of this but they are necessary. If you land in a league that happens to have a last ditch monster grabbing playoff team the very season you fielded the best team possible then you are most likely screwed for a few seasons. Guess it's just a part of the game, and after all is said and done your team will most likely do better than the one that adds 500k in salary the last few weeks, especially if through some miracle they fail in the playoffs.

Exactly. In my league, 3 seasons ago, a team added a bunch of good players only to have 2 of them get injured and they lost. Last season, we had someone add a 130k guard to make a run and he got injured as well and the team lost. So crazy stuff does happen.

You can't sell a player right away. You should read this: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Tran...)

Pretty sure the Redskins do this every season.
But in all seriousness, every team in every sport (besides the NFL) that is a playoff contender tries to add players at the deadline.

What he's getting at is there needs to be a change now. Perhaps stricter rules on the TL is necessary. I like the idea of changing the taxing from 80% to 40% for the first week and incrementally raising it by 20% a week. Also extending the 4 day wait before you may add a new player back on the TL to 7 days.
