True rebuilds are a big commitment, it can be accelerated with cash, though.

What do you think your emphasis is going to be? Are you going to train from scratch, or pick up a young, but developed and trainable core, and go from there? The journey of the rebuild can be quite fun. When I played BB with my first squad, I started in Season 8 and eventually promoted a couple of times and spent some competitive seasons in Div III. When I opted for a true rebuild, I signed my own death warrant, lol. I dropped into a really good Div IV, combined with a real-life career change, and dropped BB altogether. You'll probably do a great job, however.

This time around I have managed to keep two of my core players from day one, Rucker and Muller. It's been kinda fun to watch them develop over the past year.

I'll take Bearden and Papp off your hands if you don't mind spotting me the cash LOL. It's only 2 plus million, chump change right? Good luck with the rebuild. I never can stay patient long enough to do a bottom up rebuild. I always have the intention but then get side tracked cause look OH shiny. I am making a bid this season to try and win it all. Since a number of usually suspects are building, could be the time. That is one of the reasons I picked up some older help. Guys I usually wouldn't look at. But the price was right at the time. We will see if my gamble pays off or I end up shredding the team at the end of the season.

I'm thinking some 18/19 yo guys with hall of fame potential and maybe one or two more developed young guys that will keep me from regulating and investing in a good trainer

If Bearden doesn't sell then I will keep him and just do a rebuild in my front court with some young guys with potential

Sounds like a plan. May want to keep Beardon and build around him. Not a bad idea to have an established player. Unless he would eat up too many minutes someone else needs for training. Lot of ways to go. Good luck with it. I think an upgraded trainer is a good idea. Mine is a step up from the bottom. Problem I have is I am not making enough from my arena to pay big bucks to a trainer. May be the way I go though if this season blows up in my face. I'm not going to over think my strategy any more. It costs me games in the previous seasons, and one already this season. Just go with what my guys can do and don't sweat it.

Of course Papp gets injured. Now he isn't going to sell and I will probably have to lower the price or hold on to him until he is healthy. Ugh.

You have my kind of luck. And a two week injury at that. That sucks, maybe hold on to him and try when he is healthy again.

I might just come back at a 430K price tag. It is only 60K price reduction from the net $ I would get if I sold him after two training updates at the current price, assuming he would sell.

Somebody will likely buy him. Two week injury early in the season isn't as big a draw back as if it is down to the last few weeks.

Someone bid on Bearden and I am not sure how I feel right now. I am losing the best player I have ever had but I am getting 1.5 mill from him alone towards a good rebuild. I guess I just need Papp to sell now.

Yeah you're making at least a 500k profit on him (excluding sales fees) so that's definitely a win for you lol. Assuming your other guys sell, you can acquire some young studs and mix in some experienced guys and you should be good to go. Seems like your rebuild efforts won't take too long. I am also thinking of doing a partial rebuild, but that would most likely be after this season. I'd probably sell my veteran PG and I'm even thinking of selling my young center (after only 2 seasons) should his salary increase more than I'm hoping. That way I can maybe make a quick profit. If not I'll keep him for my core, expand my my arena, and train my young guys. Just hoping I can stay disciplined and stay away from spending my little cash on a likely 1-and-done player (I'm right there with ya Mr. Hoops) haha.
