Thanks man! and if, by chance, I do end up promoting, I'll deff stay in touch.

Hey can I ask you a couple questions about how you train? What level is your trainer and do you usually just do single position training? Usually every year, I try to pick up at least a new prospect and then start to train him. I'll get a few pops, but then I always get away from it and give up. Compared to a lot of teams, i usually have a pretty young team, but that's because I'm a pretty savvy trader. It never has anything to do with training guys, unfortunately.

The best thing to do is to have a MAIN project trainee that you know you will train for a few seasons (3-4) And then pick a plan for what's going to best for that player... so each season look and say ok this season will be jumpshot and passing, or this season is outside defense and ball handing, etc. I NEVER train jump shot range. then you need to find 1 player to be a compliment to the MAIN trainee. So a SF or a shooting guard that maybe a year or 2 older than your main guy. The plan is on weeks that you have easy wins, or easy cup games single position train. On weeks you have important games 2 position train and make sure that your complimentary guy is getting training then. That way you main trainee ALWAYS trains and your compliment gets training also about 80% of the time. i only have an advanced trainer. its cheaper.

Hmm the 2 guy training thing sounds like a good idea. I never thought about it like that before.

I appreciate the advice. No matter what happens, starting next season, I'm going to have to start taking player development more seriously.

Hey, maybe I'll actually get a decent trainee in the draft...haha, well at least I can dream. In the 10 seasons I've been playing this game, I don't think I've ever gotten a good trainee. Would be nice to get a good one for once though.....

Nice win! congrats best of luck moving forward!!!!! I was unfortunate. I had Wilburn get hurt early (7 mins into the game) and then Paulo Fouled out in first half also.... Thats 2 of my 3 BEST players out before half time. But hey its BB just hoping next year i stay healthy and my team improves and keeps getting after it.

Good luck man

Thanks man. I appreciate it. It was a good game too... my backups made it way too interesting at the end.

I know how you feel though...I just lost one of my better players (Tant) for a week. It's going to be tough winning the league without him. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that he comes back and can play in game 2.

Awwwwwwwwwe yeeeeeeeeeaaaaa feels good to win that relegation series. I don't expect to see myself in this situation next season. I expect to compete for a playoff spot next year. Might not get one but I should be pretty close. Shooting for 12 wins. Anyway see y'all next season. Good luck to both lambda and cheeks. Congrats to both

If Martinazzi comes back I have a shot... without him, no chance. Still a sizable underdog in this one.

If I don't promote not sure how the finances are going to work going forward, need to figure out how I can afford this team - somehow need the stadium situation to get better. Maybe need to charge more and accept lower % attendance for more money.

Congrats on staying in the league. I believe that both teams from your side won the relegation series... Which is tough cuz that means that Our side is going to look REALLY different next year. Could be good or bad. Basically we will lose the 8th seed team, the 6th & 7th, and then i still believe Cheeks wins the title so he's gone also. Which means that our side will lose 4 TEAMS! Good news to that means that we will for sure get a D4 promote to our side who will probably be a little weaker upon entering but you never know could be a D3 team that relegated and is now back. but then we will also get 1 or 2 D2 relegated teams also. our side of the league is either going to become REALLY REALLY competitive or we will get a few teams that are overwhlemed. But sadly we are adding 4 new teams which is always tough

I'm just hoping i can make a few changes to the players around my BIG 3/ Big 4 and get over that final hump. I'm confident i will be a playoff team i've been from day 1 in this league... it's preparing myself for a title run i have to somehow figure out.

Thanks man. It was a hard fought game. I actually thought I was a bit lucky winning that one. I was expecting to lose and play on my home court for game 3....especially when I lost my SF early on.

And I just have to say that it feels really nice to finally promote to division 2 after 7 long seasons. I had a lot of great battles in this league....a lot of ups and downs. I just hope to see some of you again soon in division 2 (and hopefully not with me dropping back to division 3 haha)

Congrats Bud!!!! Hell of a season by you and great story to stay with it and battle to promote. We all take different routes and you've been extremely successful. I'm looking forward to keeping up and seeing how you do. I am a little nervous that now we will have 4 teams added to our side. Going to be interesting to see how every adjust and prepares for next season. I sadly have a feeling my team is going to take a step backward. I am not very deep going into next year and i dont have the funds to really add bench depth.

BEst of luck bud!
