Yeah, even if you can keep an 18 yo limited to cup and scrimmage games, it’s hard to be competitive if you are starting a 19 or 20 yo in one slot every game. About 5 seasons back I sold house, pulled Worthington with the #1 pick, and only came back now that I am close to finishing his training. I am closing out training my 2 starting guards. They are 24, 25, and 25 respectively. It requires shuffling but never starting a player I know isn’t competitive. I have been thinking about what to do as they completely age out of training (things are pretty slow now) and the best I can imagine is 1 young player and a rotating crew of older players that I can fix or upgrade while training a draftee.

Eric, looks like you have already started selling players off. Good luck with the rebuild! Always one of my favorite parts of the game, endless possibilities!

Yeah, I'm in a similar but slightly earlier version of this same situation. Trainees are 23, 24, 24 needing single position training for another two seasons minimum. It's tough to get them all 48+ especially due to foulouts/injuries(had trouble with both already, trainee injured 3 minutes into yesterday's game, and another one has been getting into foul trouble). First 4 games of this in d2 were pretty promising though, I'm 1-3 but could easily be 2-2.

This league seems pretty damn close competitively. Gonna be real interesting to see who pulls off the chip

Anyone have predictions for all-star picks?

Congrats to RV on having their whole back court picked to the first string allstar team! Well deserved! Cant pretend that I don’t feel a little snubbed by the voters - leading the conference standings but not one allstar? Not even a second-stringer? I guess they don’t appreciate the IS and OD focused line up. Fair enough, it is a bit overdone at this point.

I think a lot of it has to do with rotating positions and minutes played. I basically start the same lineup now that i'm out of the cup and got 4 reserves which.....doesnt make sense much but its all I can think of.

i cant see stats from this season so I can't confirm that either

Yeah, every season that I have had to do out of position training I’ve had way fewer votes. My lineups have varied a lot this season, so I’m not really surprised. I don’t think even the GMs worry to much about the allstar game. Otherwise the would have updated it off the season 3 game engine with a coaching rating for a game with no managers.

I am excited for the second half of the season to start. I have dug myself a fairly big hole that I probably will not be able to make it out of, but I am looking forward to the challenge of trying to avoid relegation. From a promotion standpoint, it seems like a 3 or 4 team race at this point and it will be interesting to see how Red Velvet's team fares after their slow start.
Their salary is 100k higher than the next team and they look to make real noise come the playoffs. Overall, salaries have really climbed as I have the highest salaried team I have had in my 5 seasons in Div II, and yet I have the lowest salary of any team in the Great 8. Definitely enjoying the competition as it makes the season that much more fun when each game is important and a challenge.

Best of luck to everyone in the second half!
