As you can see, my team is not very good. Should I just start selling and get a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds? or should I stick with what I got? Help would be greatly appreciated...I need it haha

try to make as much money possible in your first year, do this by only having say 8 or 9 players on your team. Invest what little money you have not into better players but into your arena.

SOME ADVICE

I made the mistake of getting to many young trainees. The more trainees the less time you can spend on improving each player. If you are trying to improve your roster stick to getting trainees at one or two similar positions. For instance train PF and C or SG and PG or SG and SF. This will allow you to improve the players. Fill out you team with players who are veterans. you get great bang for your buck buying players 30+ age.

My arena? But if i can't fill the seats now then what good will more seats do me? also what if I sell off some of my guards to make room for very young guards to develop while i keep some better big men to help me out while the guard come along?

than your prices are too high, dont worry about winning right now. spend 40k per week for the draft that way you'll probably get 2 good prospects you can train.

You are in a bit of a bad place, a really bad start they gave you.

Wow cant say I agree with almost any of this advice. If you are a new team there are a few critical things to do right away.

1) Get a level 4 trainer and decide what positions to train - considering many factors the best to train is probably pg or c
2) start training some 18 and 19 year olds (3 or 6)
3) cut all the useless old players you are given at the start - be brutal
4) buy cheap but functional guys at the non training positions
5) start expanding your arena
6) adjust your ticket prices
7) consider how much you want to spend on the draft - I suggest $20,000 a week is ok for your situation

You have no-one worth training at all and you have about 2 days to get some before the trade deadline - dont spend too much, an 18 year old is already nearly 19 etc.

You are certain to be relegated so watch your money- you have no income for a while.

You do get 2nd pick in the draft so try to get at least enough scouting points to do the scouting combine - that tells you the age and height of everyone,

Then i would just put all the 18 year olds on top in height order (if you want to draft a pg go shortest to tallest and vise versa) - you can ignore the "word on the street" rankings - unless they have changed from last season they were worthless.

Then start scouting the guys from the top of your list down, any with less than 3 balls put right to the bottom.

Hope that is helpful, but honestly you are in a bad way. You spend $200,000 on Aldo with 4 x atrocious skills and 6th man potential. Ouch! And you sold him after the trade deadline! Ahh!

Ya i understand i've screwed things up pretty bad, i did it before I started actually reading these forums and stuff. So how long do you think it'll take for me to right the ship?

not too long. You will go to D5. You can build a winning team there quickly. Just be smart with your decisions.

Save lots of money.
