crosstown doesn't have much going for them, at least in terms of d3. it's a complete fire sale at the moment. they're dumping their old players and failed prospects, which is a good move. they have the smallest arena in the league. maybe they're intentionally relegating and starting fresh with just colin, mcgee and chevally. not a bad move at all. a core like that can get you back to d3 after just 1 season in d4 no problem. in the meantime, they could just expand, which is something they desperately need. if all their players sell, they'll be the bottom ranked red sided team. maybe they've saved a bunch of scouting points, and are looking to build some homegrown talent with the first and 17th picks in the draft, which would be another quality move. if they want to avoid relegation this season, though, it'll be a tough road. colin would have to carry this team kicking and screaming.

they're already active in the forums which is cool to see. an experienced manager and a competitive arena are this team's best attributes. they'll need a LOT of work to be competitive this season. not saying it can't be done, but manager moflaffle needs to get a move on on that roster if that's what he wants to do. if he winds up the 7 seed he's basically automatically relegated because the blue side are all killers this season. really the only piece i like as d3 talent is their center, claude beckman. he's 27 and is a competitive starting piece. aside from that, they're old, they need to trim a ton of fat, and just not that talented. randy coyle could maybe develop into a special player, but would get lit up if he started this season. i wouldn't completely discount a 20 season vet, but he has plenty to do if he wants to avoid relegation.

pretty new manager, comparatively speaking. it shows. 13k is actually a pretty nice arena size, you can stay competitive with just that. you won't be doing any damage in the playoffs with it, but you can avoid relegation. they're a little bit old. 2 of the top 5 players in decline. they're thin. they don't have any stud trainees. their team salary is barely above the salary floor. hope they've got a lot of cash, cuz they'll need it if they want to stay in this league. that said, pretty good job just getting here in 7 seasons. they could just take plazas back to d4 and grab a couple trainees and be back in no time in a little better shape, or you might see them make a couple splashy purchases and make a run at the 5-6 seeds. not much to say about these guys quite yet. we'll wait and see.

Great summaries, Frosty!

I'm not selling Bowers. He'll be one of those $500 salary 47 year olds LOL. Also, I have Al-Anwar intentionally overpriced, because I'm not terribly eager to sell him until after my Cup run is over. If someone buys him now, I'll have over $3M cash on hand. Unless the run is only a couple weeks, then things are going to kick into hyperdrive.

I am going to be trimming some fat, but I'm still weighing a couple different options.

interesting. an al anwar sale or not, i now highly suspect a splashy guard purchase shortly

Frosty finally after 2 yrs showing me some LUV !!!!! Great job you put a lot of work into it. Greatly appreciated.

You call that a power ranking? Let me fix it for you chubs. I'll give you my top five.

1. DC Wizards
2. DC Wizards
3. DC Wizards
4. DC Wizards
5. DC Wizards

Let me tell you scrubs something. I look around and see fresh meat. Nothing but sneaker geekers trying to play with the pros. I'm going to own you all. This is my league now and none of you are leaving unless I say so. Prepare to get whooped so hard the players in your hall of fame ask to no longer be associated with the team. If this were the chump championships you all might have a chance, but this is the real deal. Managers get ready to peel your puny players off the court, and make sure to clean up any leftovers when we're done with you at the Verizon center.

Scrubs.

Great analysis, Frosty. You've got me right about where I hope to be this season as well as my goals beyond that. It's unfortunate that you are in my conference; I might not be able to sneak up and surprise you haha.

nah you can't pull any wool over my eyes. i know you know what you're doing.

i love it. what's the offseason without trash talk?

This is awesome

Yo DC you really need to do a better job in communicating your true feelings........

Are you sure you are not the DH Wizards????????/
