Well the 4 relegating teams were

1) Tokyo Yahiro team a bot.
2) Higashikurume Lightning #12 in Nippon. Went to II.4.
3) shibuya #14 in Nippon went to us.
4) Kanazawa Kings #16 in Nippon went to II.3.

So I don't think it was just me, 3/4 of them were fairly tough and we got the second best, as close to average as possible.

When you look at his roster it is amazing compared to mine but nothing like Sharman. He has some great players but he paid a lot for them too.

Grégory Le Quère 65k paid $5,000,000.
Samuel Zavadil old 40k pf paid $2,000,000.
Martial Ginestet 35k old c $2,000,000.
Horea Radu 23k sg $2,000,000.
Chen Zhi Fu 15k pg $2,000,000.
Nicolás Ricard 15k sg $1,500,000.

But he has spent 6 of the last seasons in the JBBL so those players must be incredible with top secondary skills. Anyone with a $13,000,000 starting 5 seems scary to me.

Compare my starting 5.

Daisaku Kawaida $100,000 Bought season 1.
Noritada Konoe last years draft pick - free.
Jotaro Kinjo Original team player - free.
Lu Shuanghua $250,000. Bought season 2.
Martín Magallanes $175,000. Bought season 3.

Just over $500,000 for my whole starting 5. Quite a jump between teams like his and teams like mine even in my 3rd season (when I bought Martin).

You can't measure a team strength by how much he purchased his players. A good measure in strength is his income and current players salaries. It's true that Shibuya has a bigger arena than me and has not purchase anything since last year. This means he already has a big saving and can buy any strong players at the end of this regular season. Though, having looked at his transfer history, he did spend $50000000 on a 24-25 yo SG with only $64000 salary. This makes me curious and suspicious.

This will be my 3rd season, too. I joined in season 13 with 3 games left in the regular season. Although the team had a decent record, all the player got reset so I had to start over right before the playoff.

Season 16 should be a fun season. Sapporo has greatly improved his starting 5 toward the end of last season. Ramen and Shogun are catching up big time. Best of luck to everybody, at the eve of a new season!

Yes you are wise. I am very cautious and traditional. I keep my players and change them very little. I had my two imports for all of last season. Now I have two more for this season. For example my draft pick YY I have been really considering training him because he was my draft pick. If he wasn't my draft pick I would never train someone with atrocious OD. I have come to my senses and will sell him now even for $1, someone else can suffer the pain.

It is an exciting new season and I want more wins than last season's 14 wins but it may be difficult as several teams are better this season and we sold one of our three trainees as we could not abide his 6'9" slow training.

We thank you. But we have already listed him at $1 so he is no longer our draft pick. I hope someone does train him, but we shall not. Instead we have bought another Kuzu High School trainee an 18 year old perennial allstar with average OD. In the same time we can get him to prominent OD and he can contribue to the team. No-one is perfect as he has awful passing but I think trading atrocious OD for awful passing is a good trade.

Here, he is no secret :)

I wasn't too impressed with my draft picks either and picked up a trainee recently. I made an effort to look for a Nippon player. He is pretty similar to Masamitsu.

Yoshito Sada (19825155)
Weekly salary: $ 5 275

DMI: 13900
Age: 19

Not sure how I will fit him in my rotation yet but he is not far away from being a solid backup for me.

That player must have great starting skills.

A good win today over kusoz. That trainee - Eiti Toshishai - got 18 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and two blocks.
