"What's this sir stuff? OK, let me know what i am thinking about the roster."
"14 roster spots -- normally, in the past, 11 was the norm.
"First two spots given over to the future -- 19 year old superstar potential. The focus of training. If all goes well, two members on the bench of the future NBBA team.
"Next two spots given to older rookies who will get and hopefully benefit from one season of training. If all goes well, their 80 TSP will be on the squad for several seasons.
"Next two are cheap veterans. Reduced budgets are coming!
"Next is van Damme. My goal for him is to win a scoring title, maybe when we hit DIII. This is the last of my planned long-term players, those who will be on the squad when we are rising, not falling. The remaining players will be gone at some point.
"Sroka and The Squirrel will be with the squad when we descend to DII. They also provide good models for how to train.
"Kunzhu, East, and Yunan are going to go when we leave the NBBA. Expensive players, but really quite talented -- East has over 100 TSP and a salary in the low $30s! Anyway, these slots -- two -- will be filled with draft picks.
"Feguson -- dead man walking. Can't have trainees that foul out of games.
"Marcum -- Giannis gets to keep his brother, you get to think you are a player."
"Not a bad summary, except for the Marcum player -- we keep him because through his brilliance we see the way."
