I think u only get one chance to win it in every 3 seasons
The amount of capital $$$ u have to burn is insane
I think YUCk had a 590k payroll
I had a 530k
My economy only supports 500k max to break even
I'm right about breakeven right now at about 530k (pre-Cup). My problem is that unlike burning $$$, I've been burning time - I can still roll Busch, Cheek and Klein as big men for another 6+ seasons, and rotating through options at the guard and SF positions can still be done, but a lot of what I've been able to do is also reliant on having Wray/Menard/Namo able to play well enough to be capable of spot starting in the league games, eating up valuable minutes and winning Cup games for the most part. That crew is starting to get up there in age, though, and Carver's days as a real backup are numbered as well.
