Honestly, I'm not sure how competitive you can be with $200k/week+ salaried players. Dexter Dennison is probably getting close to the limit in terms of affordable performance.

I have challenged everyone in the NBBA to use American players (161148.1), but most still outsource those jobs overseas. :-( Not the All-American Bruins though!

BTW, Chile is a different situation...they only have 300 teams and the top division is much less competitive.

Italy, Spain, France...all still beating us in that department. Maybe not 90% like Chile, but a good portion of their players are playing at home.


Btw never noticed before that your team is 100% American, I give you a ton of respect for that.

I'm starting to try now, :). I just overpaid (by about 400k) for an 18yo SF, who I reallly hope to 1 position train for the NT, I'd imagine SF is the only really competitive salary position for me. I hear my SG Brown is about 4 pops away from NT too, although issues with potential (I overpaid for him too).

With all this overpaying, do you think that other managers want USA players above all else? (apart from own nationality of course). Maybe NBA influence... :)

I'm planning to keep buying american whenever I can.

I can't speak for those other "other managers," but I do.

I don't know if people spend more on Americans just because, could be the case. Not suprised Levine went for 900k, 18yr olds with high salary and potential always attract bidders. I thank you though for getting him, hes one of our best 18yr olds.

Speaking of which, our biggest 18 yr old guard prospect is available!!! Check out the offsite forum for details.

He's got a lot of potential likes, but that damn Portuguese guy keeps raising the price of the young americans! Unjustifiable for me to buy two! lol

PS. I'm pretty pissed that he comes onto the market 2 days after i finally make the purchase, he's significantly better than Levine....)

I'd be all over that if not for the terrible IS. Otherwise I'd make him a mean SF.
