this is the only team i got

i kind of take a warren buffet strategy of playing this game

always buy increasing assets not decreasing assets (younger players not old)

even though, i might have to buy a few of them if i get them at the right price

always look to buy when people are selling and sell when people are buying
(knowing when your in a buyer's market or a seller's market)

i have never understood why people pay a ton of money for player than a month later sell him at a huge loss - that always boggles my mind

this league is alot harder than div 3 by a long shot - so i would not be surprised if i got demoted back to div 3 - but i should have a ton of money on hand if that happens

Quite impressive. I could learn a bit from your style.
I tend to pick up players at bargain prices, but I'm not too savvy about selling them at the right time.

seems like the San Francisco Warriors are the better team at selling players.

Look out! I just sold one of my rookies for a whole two grand.
I can almost build one more courtside seat (after tax, I'm not quite there, dang it) with this windfall.

What if you attempted to build that single seat... only to have the estimated completion time stuck at 5 days+ for an entire season? How would you feel then?

this is just my own opinion

i think for $10,000 to $40,000 salary players the market works like this.

seller's market begins at the 2nd or 3rd week of the season and ends at 2nd to the 4th week after the all star break. - give or take a week. - i think that is the best time to sell players.

it begins at the 2nd or 3rd week because i think more people are looking for 18 year rookies than veterans.

after that we go into a buyer's market. - where you can pick up players or staff at good prices.

it's at its peak after the trade dead line. which makes sense because alot of people know where they are going to finish in there league and want to dump players and staff to increase profits.

i think high salary players have a smaller market and it works different

that's my 2 cents - so take it for what's it is worth.

How else can I screw up my season? I'm playing a default lineup tonight, unintentionally breaking a TIE deal and not having the GDP set or any defensive switches in (unless I still have the SG/SF swap in the default). I suppose it's getting close to selling off time if this keeps up.

Well, you pulled off a victory, so other than your TIE deal being broken and training minutes perhaps being messed up, all is not lost.

In other news, is the attendance boost over already for us promoted teams? I understand that the Snowbirds aren't a big fan draw, but I thought the boost would last at least until the all-star break.

wow, your attendance fell off a cliff. Then again, those prices are pretty high. ($18 bleachers?) Did you change prices recently?

Oh, since you do the recaps normally, just curious... what player made the most 3 point shots on Saturday?
My guy made 4 despite getting CT'd while TIEing. So that's kind of good. Should be its own special category on the next recap if you ask me! (or even if you don't ask me!) Not sure why GS didn't CT their cup game instead. (if they were intent on CTing a game that is)

Play a lineup of Holman, Taylor, Druff, plus 2 lucky fans against me on 9/13/2014! (Activate no other players).

That will make you feel better about breaking the TIE deal too. Tell you what... I'll give you a coupon for a Whopper Jr. if it doesn't. Can't beat that!
