$100k+ salary range are going to be harder to move with their salary increases


I would go higher than that and again it seems to vary by position. I noted that one of the best PGs in the world still commanded over 9 million this week (with a salary of 300K+).

I suspect that everything will trickle down but it could take some time. I have certainly noticed a down turn in the market, even before the salary increase, but others said I was wrong. I personally think there is more supply than ever in the 80k+ range and that is probably reducing the prices more than anything. For example, I noted that prices for balanced PGs and PFs have basically not been impacted at all. But they certainly have taken a turn for SGs and Cs.

I think if you are in Naismith and you don't have at least one player like that, you are in a bit of trouble this season.


uh oh

There is always at least one exception to the rule, though. ;-)

The New Brunswick Maddogs in II.1 just sold their 150k PG and he went for just over $9.5 million about 2 days ago. And I have Teo up to see what kind of offers I can get on him for the future

Well, it is like I said. In my recent shopping experience I have not noticed much of a price drop for PFs and PGs... On the other hand, I have noticed a definite drop for SGs and Cs, especially if they have higher salaries.

I am glad to see that the PG the Maddogs had up went for $9.5 million. It makes me feel like I got value for my money with Turcan.

I don't recall saying anything about mono-skilled beasts specifically. What I did say is that over a long period of time all the top teams in the game will eventually have at least one or two HOF/ATG players that have been trained up really high. With the latest salary increase it seems like this may happen later rather than sooner.


Perhaps I misinterpreted what you were saying - I don't have time to go back and look now.

In any case, unless there is a significant change in the salary structure going forward (which seems unlikely at this juncture), my opinion is that these fully trained HOF/ATG players will be completely useless, anyways. They will bounce around from team to team and constantly have game shape problems. You will see from some of the NT discussion out there that managers are already thinking they will have a tough choice ahead as to whether or not they keep these players on their roster.

So, like I said in the debate before, ATG potential is pretty much useless. I would not waste too much time scouring BB for these guys. The only exception will be players that are multi-skilled enough to make their high salaries worthwhile.

If Feeney is trained properly this season, he should be well over 40k/week in salary by the start of next season.

He's being single position trained right?
