i have 3 guards that are starting because i just sold my long time center, i bumped my PF down to center, bumped my SF to PF to act as a stretch 4, put my normal SG at the 3 slot, put my normal PG at SG and put the new guy at PG because hes a better playmaker than my normal PG who i put at the 2. i usually play a run and gun style. im saving up about 1m to buy my next building block so getting a quick fix on the TL isnt really an option, i do have a young big man who is proficient at rebounding and will experiment with him in the starting 5 on tuesday.

whats the most effective lineup i could use?

option 1, as i said in the above paragraph would be:
PG: Joseph Radford (new guy)
SG: Salva Eguilez (been my regular pg for over 3 seasons but isnt nearly the playmaker that Radford is, also not very efficient scoring)
SF: Othello Lefever (incredible scorer, been my SG normally)
PF: Manolo Herencia (natural 3 but can hold his own defensively inside so he could be a passable stretch 4)
C: Bajlovic

Option 2:
PG: Radford
SG: Eguilez
SF: Lefever
PF: Bowens (19 year old, good rebounder)
C: Bajlovic

Option 3:
PG: Radford
SG: Lefever
SF: Herencia
PF: Bowens(switch to the 5 and Bajlovic to his natural PF slot is also an option)
C: Bajlovic
super 6th man Eguilez

im also experimenting with box and 1 defenses because i basically have the worst defensive team in the league. thoughts?

also, im not in contention to win the league at all or really even make the playoffs but it would be nice to at least keep the fans coming to the arena so i can keep the money flowing. got nearly 400k saved up and am gonna let it build to 1 mil because i want a young stud in the frontcourt

all depends on who you are training.
The trainees decided the line-up.

dont really have anyone besides bowens and hes not really in my long term plans. Radford is 22 but hes already a 30k player and only has star potential so he is basically the player he will be besides stamina, im trying to get both Radford and Lefever's stamina up

thats my plan with the million that im saving up, buy 1 STUD young big man that i can match with Lefever and Radford. thatd give me a solid big 3 to build around and then, depending on what the layout of IV.57 looks like, ill either get 2 more young guns or two or three good vets thatll sell cheaper than what their production is worth since everybody wants the youngins. right now my league is pretty competitive even though its only d4 so its a perfect chance to take my time and get a monster young core of players to take a run at d3...if there remains 2-3 legit dIII level teams in my league, ill just keep saving up for guys under age 22. this thread was meant to be more about the immediate plans but i can use all the advice i can get haha
