I'm just a small market team trying to make my mark felt. Should be a fun game 3

Well i will be the first to give Marsh his congrats. I dont see my team making a dramatic comeback to win this game. I have now been in 3 finals in this league and have come up short. I have made the executive decision to restructure my team. Going to take a different route to winning the league. This move may mean i am not a true title contender for 1 season but thats going to be worth it. As the current make up of my team is not one that will win this league next season also not knowing if we will get another D2 team thats built to win again right away.

Great season. See you guys in Season 31

see ya next season fellas. congrats to marshland, good luck in d2, represent III.7 well. it'll be sad to see nyc and snake river go. III.7 vets, i'm sure they'll be back up in d3 before long. fun season.

Congrats Marsh and good luck next year. BelBucs look forward to next year.

Definite congrats to Marshland and good luck in DII. Congrats also to BucsBlue for their continued success. It will be interesting to see which direction they rebuild the team.

Definitely excited for next season already!

That said, again I get an outstanding draft class.

Well Walnut & Homeboyz... I haven't completely decided the route i want to take in restructuring my team. I will promise you guys this... i will not be like my boy snake and just lose every game and relegate. Maybe i wont be a true contender for the league title for 1 season. Maybe i will who knows how the restructuring goes. But I will still plan on winning some games next season. My management and fans understand that we weren't built for D2 and even had we won we were aging and would have needed to find some restructuring if we made it to D2. instead we will have to make those adjustments in a bridge year here in D3. Season 31 will be one of patience in prep for season 32! Best of luck as you guys continue to improve your teams!

Nice job landing the highest salary guy in the draft too...I'm curious where I had that guy ranked.

I have to laugh...I undoubtedly missed a guy or two, and it looks like Crosstown dumped his draftees already as there were no 0 DMI guys on his roster, but here is the salary breakdown of some of the top picks:

(Round ups included listed in parentheses)

1-7K
3-5K (4971)
2-4K (3971)
8-3K (2977/2906)


Most of those guys went to upper division league teams, including the 7K guy going to the league runner up. I picked up 2 of the 5K guys (included Livingston, who was probably the 2nd highest salary in the draft at $5800+). They have really improved the draft in recent seasons, especially by making the 19 year old players much better overall. While it can be really hit or miss with some classes still, it is very much worth the investment. There is absolutely no reason for the best 5-6 guys in a draft class to end up with the best teams.

Here's whats going to make you sick... i didn't even know that the 7k guy was the highest rookie (19 yrs old) but i put NO scouting in at all. I saved all scouting points (mainly cuz i put $0 into scouting) and just figured i would let it go randomly and out of the 3 guys it drafted for me i got 1 pretty good PF. His potential is just allstar but he's got 4 things that are strong already and 1 respectable. So a year of training and he could be the new PF i am looking for to pair with Tommy.

To you guys point... BB has done a GREAT job realizing that a guy 19 can still be valuable. For like 20+ seasons in BB you were almost punished for getting a 19 yr old so they had 0 value. But now if you scout deeply (which i didn't) but if you do you could be left with a real decision of taking a good 18 yr old or taking a slightly more polished 19 yr old. in some cases if the 19 yr old has pretty good skills under the new draft format. losing that 1 year of training isn't all that bad. The guy i have thats 19 and 7k had he been 18 and a 3k or 4k guy i probably would have got him right around where they have him at 19.

Let the rebuild continue boys!!! hope your draftee's have promise!

Wow...I've had pretty good luck in the draft without investing on off years, but no single players like that.

Either way, it's another example of why people shouldn't completely forsake the draft.

I was looking strictly for 2's and 3's, so bigs were not a priority. I did discover a few and ranked them higher just because they appeared to be better players. While I did end up with 2 centers, at 6'1, I'm going to build Dowd into a 3.
