I think it's a good thing; but it's pushed spending. That said, 3.1 million for a rookie with a low salary...to go to a D4 team in Turkey? Congratulations, sure. PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute...but there's a lot more people being born than in his day.


Managers will pay top price for the cream of the crop; with well rounded skills, and HOF potential - Duncan is the crème de la crème. The manager from turkey can easily make a 1-2m profit off Duncan after extensive training is done. I know US managers who were willing to pay top dollar for Mr. Duncan.

While I'd rather draft my prospects, I too would pay top dollar for a particular type of US prospect; to have one of the best American players in world, playing for your club & country, that would be awesome if you ask me.

Ever since I got into BB I have always walked the razor's edge with finances. I've always sacrificed savings for winning and trying to promote.

I started pricing what rookies of that caliber were going for and I decided to pull the trigger on selling him to get breathing room for a rebuild or rebuild on the fly.

I have been training an MVP level prospect for the last 2 seasons that started well rounded, and I got a really good 19 yo Per AS with great guard stats to work with. So that made the decision a little easier. It was very tempting to keep Duncan, but I figured selling him was the way to go.

Yeah, I noticed you have a pretty solid MVP trainee. That's good. I was in a familiar situation long ago. Hopefully in the future you'll be able to retain those studs. GL

Yeah, I really wanted to keep him but figured this was best. Plus I would have been in much worse shape financially if I would have tried to go out and get a level 6 or 7 trainer to train him appropriately considering his potential.

The extra cash should make the game more fun for me. It was getting old trying to keep afloat with low reserves and mostly older players. My interest in the game has gone up since the sale and I figure that's what I needed most of all.

Well at least they were gracious enough to give you HCA.

They need to start seeding that tournament. It would be simple to do.

That would be nice, but it sounds like a tedious task to me - too many teams to sort out. I personally like the idea of having an NCAA tournament bracket for teams that reach the round of 64/32.
