Someone's trying to buy a NBBA title... I'm jealous. Wish I had that kind of cash.

I think there are better ways to buy a title to be honest. Nearly $10 mil on two old players that still don't get his team in the top 5 in the Great 8....From where i sit, looks like he sacrificed his future to be on the same court as the big boys, but still finish behind them.

I guess it looks cool to have NT players on your roster though.

i don't know -- A-Dub is doing a double-switch which would leave him in good shape even if it doesn't happen:

a) he sells Kearney and effectively buys Hunt for $1.5 million. his team salary goes up by $100,000, but that is only to $680,000 or so, which is relatively low, especially with the revenue boost. if you throw in the mechandise boost, then that drops to well below $650 or $640,000. and 144 sp means Hunt can be declining a long time and still be an NBBA all-star, if not MVP.

b) he doesn't sell Kearney. add $40,000 to the above salary totals, and A-Dub still has an acceptable salary level. (he would be fourth-highest salary in the league.) and he is stuck with a 26 yr old, highly skilled SF that had trouble finding playing time on the squad last year. such a burden, we should all have.

there has been a weird pattern in this league since i got up here: at least one new team each season made a big splash (Tucumcari made the finals their first season, GH won the title their first season, last season you made the finals). perhaps this year's team is Upsyndrome.

i remember when Tucumcari was rolling, everyone knew they would play LI, and couldn't do anything to stop it. i could see the same with a front line of Hunt and Bowens.

Michele Bello Sold Lonely Hero 10/25/2015 $ 4 431 000
Teo Vučeraković Sold Manila Bombers 11/11/2015 $ 2 300 200

M'hmmm...

Bello for 2.7m doesn't sound so bad anymore. Darn.

Better ways than winning with Hunt, and Bowens? Nah.

The puzzle isn't finished.

I hear you, and you make some great points...I just feel that $10 mil could/should go a lot further than landing two players.

All I know is if I were sitting at the top of the league, and I knew a guy had $10 mil, I would be nervous that I could be knocked off my perch....but after seeing $10 mil spent that way, I'd be relieved :-)

Like A-Dub said, he's not finished yet....so we'll see how it finishes up. My prediction at this point, is unless one of the top 5 teams in the Great 8 from last season decide to sell off or pull back this season, Upsyndrome will be playing in the relegation series at the end of this season.

Nothing against A-Dub, I think he's a great addition to the NBBA! Great personality, and gotta love a guy who comes out swinging....I'd love to see him stick around....I just think he mortgaged the future for short term moves that don't guarantee a playoff spot, let alone give Magiker any reason to be nervous.

But, like i have said many times before...the awesome thing about BB, that makes playing this game for years possible, is that there is more than one way to have success in this game :-) It's not just a cookie cutter approach to winning.

I'm actually proud that I was able to get a NBBA championship without ever having to tank/relegate to accumulate cash or snooker newbies into paying me millions for bad players. I understand that this is primarily a cash management game and there are teams that tank/transfer to accumulate $10-$20 million to buy the (for me) unattainable skill players; and likely next season, I'll have to sell off and tank myself down to III or IV, just to get new trainees and cash to build.

My team has been built around my trainee, Crowe, and careful bargained purchases over the years. Those bargains seem impossible to find now, so the Horde's time may have come.

wow. Carlton and Luna out on fouls in less than a half.

i wonder if that is related to the fact the refs are Xtc's brother-in-law and roommate from college. i saw the three of them sharing some beers before the game at Hooters.

Arizona shoots 57% in the first half and lead by 2...that's concerning!

I really like the combination of Hunt and Bowens playing together. Combine them with Meeks and that's a frontcourt that most of us should envy. If only you could have gotten Bello too. The things that could have been...
