Lowest possible salary $1000 a week (same as minimum transfer buy)

When players are fired they get a severance pay just like the staffs, 1 week salary.

I think if this was implemented many rosters become more stable and the type of players that are important, useful and stay in the game changes.

Right now players renting is a major strategy and very effective. It's not very realistic.

I think eliminating player renting and favoring longer term roster-management will push this game in the right direction for feel etc. realism etc. and so on.

I don't think the lowest possible salary is a problem however I do agree with the severance fee. The severance fee actually solves a problem whereas the lowest salary doesn't really do much.

Minimum salary would be deterant from the 55 and 60 year olds that are just there to play the silly scrimmages so people can train and that...Also I was thinking the sign-and-drop for scrimmages woudl go away if you paying that salary after just the 1k sign so the price of those silly low salary players would go way up even more...

Maybe minimum salary like 5k or something outside of draftees. That might motivate people to keep their draftees a little. Call it a veteran minimum 5k a week.

I just don't think that changing the old players and increasing the salary by less than a thousand is actually gonna change anything while renting would. The change isn't too necessary is all i'm saying

It would add realism and kill some of the silly metagame.

Realism isn't something that BB ever strived for. They like having their own twist on basketball that users learn as they play. I think the lack of realism and simple tactics makes the game more fun because you have to figure out the secrets.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. I Just watcht the Blazers murder the spurs. I like basketball and would prefer if they don't give a crap about basketball and are catering to people who don't give a crap either that they should make and run an RPG or simulate some OTHER game. I don't like half-ass jobs. ANd BB is dying as a game, primarily because they don't know who the hell they are catering to. THey DON'T cater to basketball fans, they don't cater to real economic game fans, they don't cater to traders, they don't cater to anyone. they seem to hate and despise anyone who likes anything consistent and logical.

Disagree because of the draft. If I do not want the players I drafted I do not want to pay to cut them, especially if I was not looking to add players in the first place. Maybe give a 2 week amnesty? Also would probably change the market in an interesting way. Might see a slight change because people are trying to sell instead of cut but I think if they were halfway decent they would have tried to sell in the first place I guess.

But like the players you drafted would cost you like max $7000 in total. I'm not here to waste time on really insignificant things like players salaries at $1000 vs $300 and an extra $7000 cost per season... like sure it makes sense as a feature but like... it matters so little.
