Tnx!

I was hoping on actually building the team around him.
He deserves every cent he gets in my opinion, infact, he was probably the main reason we made the playoffs last season!
I think if I can assemble a good enough supporting cast then I could get promotion to div 2.
Anyway, sure if I did do what you are implying then all of my financial problems will be solved, but what about the basketball side of things? Remember im aiming for conference finals! I dont think getting rid of him so close to the start of the season would do me any good!

My arena is over 10k now, and if I land this PR Manager then I think he could give me solid income with attendance.
I made about 20 transactions last season, and that upset the fans alot, due to the fact that they were not familiar with any of the star players! getting rid of another star will only distress them more, which means more empty seats!
I did not have one sell out last season, and my last 3 home attendences were around 50-55% full! Another reason for that is because I put the ticket prices up to high last season, but that is no longer a problem because ive put them down again.

When I first bought aimo dettori, I realised quickly how much debt I was in, so therefore, I cut my roster size down from 25 to 15, downgraded my staff and diminished all money spent on scouting. That bought everything back under control in terms of finaces, and then thats where the arena problem hit.
I dont think aimo is the root of my problem.

Thoughts???

He may not be a problem anymore but he is still the best solution by selling him in my opinion. Depth is more important than one key star in buzzerbeater. That is a fact. There is a guy similar to your teamin my league that i play the first game. He has a 154k center and then a 10k player. Other than that his team is scrubs. He went 9-13 last season and i bet you i will be him because i have more depth than him. I will most likely put my 30k PF on him and try to hold him under 50 points, because they wont be able to score any other way. Thats what happens when you have no depth. You can do whatever you think is best but i would still sell him.

Thanks bro for nice advice! Now i am regretting getting olders player, I am blinded by their skill not realizing that they will diminish. Getting in DIV. III will be more difficult but i will try my best to avoid that 8th spot. I will now begin to build my arena and train all my young players. Do u thinks its reasonable to sell one my player to get money?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting older players, they're cheaper to purchase on the transfer wire and their added experience helps. Plus you promoted so it did work out for you. To me, finding cost effective older players is an absolute key to promoting more quickly.

That said, once they hit 33+ age and diminishing skills do become a problem for some (it's random, some players hardly diminish at all ages 33-34, others diminish quickly) and you have to be prepared to turn them over more often. To me the solution isn't necessarily to stop getting older players but to shoot a little lower in age. Maybe 30-31 and as I said be prepared to turn your roster over more quickly.

I think you can help me and I like your advice, but I still think that keeping aimo is in the teams best interests.
I cant blame you for not knowing my players but, trust me, not all of them are scrubs!

Dedy nurman plays on the thai u21 national team and has an overall rating of 95.
Aimo dettori plays on the italian national team and has an overall rating of 144.
Juan ley has an overall rating of 94.
Machlin north has an overall rating of 79.
Roger Vaca has an overall rating of 97.

Thats my starting 5. the oldest is north who is 31.
As I said most of them are young.
I was hoping to buy a better, more established player to back him up, but I feel uneasy about buying players when I dont have any weekly income, but I can always save up.
The main point is that, I do have other players that can score, infact, all of my starting five are very capable of playing div 3 basketball.

Well if you're stuck on keeping him, then do so ;) You probably know better than me about him. I just think you need some more key players (Maybe find a cheap PG on the TL with a salary of at least 15k if you can afford it. I just don't like 80%+ of my teams salary going to 2 players.

Thanks 4 advice.! From now on I will try to buy players that in 27-31 bracket.

As Beener said, look for the cheapest good player, regardless of age. Many times, you can get 33 year old quality players for half (or even less) the price of younger players. Sure they'll go down in skills and you won't get much back for them but you've invested less also.

Tnx 4 d advice.! IS PR manager important now that i am promoted? what level is enough 4 me?

Aimo dettori plays on the italian national team and has an overall rating of 144.

Aimo Dettori has played in 0 competitive National Team games.

This seems to be completely unknown but I would say that you don't need an expensive guy when you've just promoted. See what your attendance is and you always have time to buy someone.
