I will say McWhore spent slightly more than three months on my roster. That's not exactly a rental player. He was limited for NBBA use. If I hadn't promoted, he would still be on my roster. One of my all time favorite players even only playing for me for three months.

A whore is pretty much, by definition, a rental. (Or a layaway?) ;)

Childs was sort of the opposite for me - I would have kept him had I promoted, and I kicked around the notion of keeping him instead of Thayer when formulating my plan if I didn't promote, but the absolute boatload of buttgravy that he put up in an LI in the conference final killed that thought.

Has anyone seen the actual skill set of Craig Anaya? Guy is killing me in the paint and shutting down my bigs.

I've played against him three times and he's never hit 50% in a game against me (and twice by wide margins). Not only is he nothing special, but I question the sanity of anyone who plays him against me knowing that.

Well, it was worth a shot. He fouled Busch out within 21 minutes the last time we played, which would be an accomplishment if Busch didn't suffer from the inability to keep his damn hands to himself.

that might be enough to bankrupt me if the attendance penalty from demotion is all it's rumored to be.


Unfortunately, it looks like the the attendance penalty does, in fact, suck gopher gonads. Our luxury box and courtside seat prices are pretty similar, and you ended up selling about 20% fewer seats in those sections. If the numbers from buzzer manager are correct (the last attendance in league ,at least, since I know the others are wrong), you pulled in 60k less than everyone else last night, which also seems to be right around a 20% penalty. Hopefully you get a nice. long Cup run to help tide you over until the fans stop kicking your effigy in the balls.

he was once shooting 8-11 during the game, and somehow we held him off later

My attendance numbers floored me. I expected a minimum of 10% more than what I saw. I expected a decrease, but this is absolute crap. I wasn't tanking and won half my games to end the season. I finally checked and my fan total is exactly 50% of what it was at the beginning of last season. I'm quite certain when you promote you don't double your fan base.
If fans don't start coming back or their excitement doesn't kick in fast, I'll be bankrupt by all star as I have those back to back road games twice before then.
Time will tell, but since I was actually competitive last season, if the fans don't recover fast this will be just another example that, financially, might as well bank money with low salary if your going to demote as you'll need the cushion for foolish monetary policy.

Not that it means anything, but going into the game my overall fan mood was 3 basketballs, or the same level after winning the last game of my nbba career to autodemote last season.

sense-making is low.
