I was planning on selling my starting sf, and replacing him in the line-up with my current backup sf, but I just realized i won't be able to train him if he's starting at sf. It would be too many minutes if hes playing sf in games and playing 48 in scrimmages. After thinking about what i should do, i decided it would be best to not sell my starting sf, pick up a pg trainee and then train single position at pg, and have my current backup sf play pg in scrimmages. Is this the best way to go, or does anyone have any ideas for me? I would really appreciate some help.

I will be going back to single position PG training soon. If not late next season then season 13 for sure. A good SF is sooo hard to find. I bought Alfredo many seasons ago for 2.5 mil and he's been worth it. It all depends on if Braid is like most other SF's (which means he has high JS/JR and few other strong skills) or is Braid balanced? If you think Knowles will be the better player, then keep training him. There's nothing wrong with two SF's starting a game. Depending on their skills of course.

You def need a better PG to distribute the ball to your big three. That should be your priority.

Yeah Briand is a better shooter, and Knowles is better all around player. I originally wanted to sell Briand for salary reasons, but in the recent games with John Barr on the bench Briand really showed how much of a reliable scorer he is, which I why i reconsidered not selling him, and then i realized i can't sell him because I need to train Knowles more still, and then I was planning the get a new pg anyway so i thought of switching to a single position training. Thanks for the input, the pg position is definetly going to be my main focus next season.

Agree with Booshes. Briand and Barr's shooting percentages will rise with a good PG. But, be careful and don't overspend for a one dimensional guy. I am still focused on team first, but I continually train my two PG's. Find your training guys and stick with a plan. Booshes is well positioned to be successful in DII because he has a plan and he has built depth with players who can do many things well.

Well if anyone would like to know, i screwed myself over this offseason. I didnt add depth, I didnt find a new pg, and I found a new sf but not one as good as i wanted. I did however find one good center trainee and am in the process of finding another, and the most important thing is i did lower my salary costs and put my team in a better position for growth in the long term.
