I'm not worried about incoming going down. I have a 40k cushion right now as my salaries aren't too high this season. I'll be selling another player + 2 draftees to make up an additional 12-14k in salaries and somewhere between 50k and 300k depending on the value that i get in the draft.
I'm not really worried about your squad, and i'm not particularly worried about this game. I can't really win it as i'm training my center @ PG to improve his OD. My gate receipts are roughly 105k (1 off of capacity). I can only really upgrade two of the 4 sections of my arena right now and actually get out of the maximized attendance, the other two won't be when i lose to you, and then probably lose to you in the semi's or finals. I'm hopeful that i dont promote to D.III until after next season.
Magiker talked to me briefly about elastic effect, that article just confirms what he says.
