Welcome back, things have been too quiet without you.

Just because a player is heading to the BBB doesn't mean he is good if he is bought by the national champion of Tounes.

I admit for every smart move I make I make 2-3 dumb ones. You will see my latest 1 in the news.

Probably Pogonyaylo is the only player on my team that you would like. He is the only guy with multiple double figure stats in both inside & outside skills.

people don't understand why I keep winning with these players unless they are also the kind to pay me proper money for them so that they can turn around and win with them.

Again we totally agree about Madany, he is special, Goncz if he sells we shall see if he turns his new team into a winner. Don't know if judging the performance of a d2 team in a 4 human league would be a fair test of Marchi.

But we can test your theory that your players make the buyers winners with Mathias Budiarso. Since RakBa paid $1.1 million for him they have gone on a massive losing streak & look to be getting relegated.

Another guy you mentioned was Marvin Pahila. You sold him to "a winner" for $1.666 million. They have gone 2/19 this season. Sure made them a winner! They actually finally gave up on him a couple of weeks ago and sold him for $510,000 quite a drop for one of your "winners" in a couple of months. He is now listed for $300,000 and no bid (he is injured) and anyone can see all he is is a poor mans PF.

Finally you said Enrico Sciamenna. Surely paying $1.666 million for him was a brilliant move right? Wrong. They sold him 1 month later for $530,000 including taxes that must be a $1.2 million $ loss in 1 player in 1 month. Another winner?

Face it, despite your claims in every case buying one of your stupidly overpriced players by probably drunk managers has been a disaster for the purchasing team.

You know you & I have a difference of opinion about JR & RE. I think they use too much potential & jack the salaries way too much. I just said in the last thread I make heaps of mistakes, well potential was something I underestimated when I started so I have been stuck trying to get the best from allstars. I wish I had known. But while everyone disagrees with me about the JR & it is me & the USA NT against the world I am willing to take the risk & see if I (we) are right.

Those stats for Goncz last season are fantastic. But abnormal. I can't find anyone like him this season, even though half the games are against bots. If we had quality stats these numbers would be even lower.

Look at the 3PT% of top SGs this season.
Lau Than Tam 28%
Tatsuya Hojo 28%
Alpár Göncz 25%
Tooro Oishi 21%
Ismael Covarrubias 18%

What I don't want is a $80,000 guard that hits 1/4 of his shots. What I want is a $40,000 guard that does everything as well as the $80,000 guard but passes the ball to players who are more efficient. My 3 big guys all hit above 55% on FGs, it is them I want to see taking shots most of the time.

Finally even with their terrible, terrible JR, my 3 guards are hitting 48%, 40% & 40% of their shots this season & Konoe actually hit 28% of his 3s with no JR, I know that is a blip too.

Lots of teams ditch JR then complain how LI is overpowered and motion/outside wont work....without JR why would they expect to be able to hit outside shots/use an outside offence????

Don't know but that is clearly not my team. I have been trying to make a specific type of team for seasons it isn't my fault the rest of the world is copying me.

You still must be around a $600k team so it is hardly a cheap team, but for the first time ever, with me making the dubious moves of picking up Junya Hirose & Chihiro Okita yet again, I have the more expensive roster. But you still have Patryk Madany, Alpár Göncz & Stanislav Krejčí so always have to be the favourite. Alija Dutina looks like a great pickup as well.

The other big deadline news was the $1.2 million for Rikkio Eguchi. They already had good big men with this move have Isehara Pistons dealt themselves back into the championship race?

Good game and hats off to you Hijiki.

Our game was a JBBL classic, and much respect to you learning how to play the game without Look Inside.

Much respect dog.

P.S. Ill bring my rebounding next game after i kick my 8 mins and injured bumb off my team ;-)
