last seasons league MVP Timothy Fischer takes offense to not being included! xD I'm kidding.


And yes, my finances are looking good and will be looking to make a big acquisition. I'm being patient this time around and not going to panic buy. My bench is shit, but that can easily be fixed.

Yeah I went back and forth between Fischer and Tompkins. It's the mvp vs the first runner up. One is preseason first team, the other preseason second team.

I figure you're going after a high quality sf, and probably a bench big. 15k range. You'll probably prefer pf as opposed to c. Juuuuuust guessing.

BucsBlue finally gets a W.... feels like its been a long time. Snake has taken the grab trainee's and rebuild route. It sucks to see him not be competitive i feel like he and i have been "Rivals" in this league quite a bit. But i know he's an active and good manager he HAS a reason for rebuilding and he's probably sitting on about 2 million in funds also....

This league as always will be extremely competitive again and i am excited to see the scores every league game night!

Looks like teams have been busy on the transfer market.

Are the minutes on the weekly stats page screwy for anyone else?

Yes the weekly mins says that Tommy didn't play... But he has stats and I know he played. So it must be a gliche... I don't know how to tell BB about it. I'm guessing they will catch it.

In regards to being busy. Lets just say that management of BucsBlue did NOT take an 0-2 start all that well. Especially coming off of a season that everyon expected them to win the playoffs. Management addressed what the coaching staff has been complaining about for 2 seasons and that's depth!!!!!!!! Team finally has 2-3 guys on the bench that the coaching staff is comfortable putting in. Hopefully this reduced injuries, min played, and fatigue.

Need to get some team chemistry that's going to be the next challenge

wow, you are not screwing around! it's boom or bust at lob city. on paper, everyone else is playing for 2nd place!

Wow, and I don't think I've ever seen a 5 week injury before, either. One of my guys had a 3-week once and that was like forever. There's a note on the BB front page that says they are aware of the minutes bug and working on it right now.

I wouldn't say boom or bust... but we are ALL IN to get out of D3... This is our 4th season in the league... First season we finished 3rd and lost to Snake River in first round of playoffs... Second season we were 20-2 lost in Playoff semi's... Last year 1st in league lost in League championship game......

Feels like BucsBlue has been a stronghold for 3 seasons with nothing to show for it... Management has decided that this season if we go down its going to be going down on our terms. The team added strong veterans to go with our MVP candidate Tommy. And think this team can potentially win this league and be good for at least 3 seasons. before we NEED to infuse youth. Hopefully at some point we can luck up and land another Tommy Lee in the draft like we did in our Inaugural Season.

Best of luck to everyone...Stay healthy, kick butt in the Cup... and i am looking forward to another competitive year as we go!

In one parting NOTE its only right for management to say a formal Good Bye to Wilburn Marcus! It was an emotional farewell as Wilburn was on the original roster generated by BB when Bucsblue was created at 19yrs old...Following that first season Tommy Lee was drafted & him and Wilburn have grown together, trained together and have been what this team was built around. Tommy having the higher potential clearly took his game slightly farther than Wilburn (who did suffer 1 3 week injury in prime of his training) Tommy was NOT on board with selling Wilburn but understands for this team we needed the revenue and were able to grab 2 60k players for the 1.2 Million Wilburn sold for.
-Wilburn was a top assist guy all 3 seasons in III.7, Averaged a min of 15PPG each season, and last season was the 5th MVP vote getter in the Conf. We wish him well as he's moved to a team where he is the Highest Salary player. (and going to be their KEY guy going forward we assume.)... Management was AFRAID and SURPRISED no one from III.7 looked to picking up Wilburn as we didn't want to have to play against him.

Ok enough of my rant!!!
