You have a good 4th as well! This last game was the first I've watched the entire game and it was absolutely worth it! Sterling chucked every minute he was in the game which turned out to be a good thing as we went on a run each time, and Forman made me actually jump off the couch as he hit a 3-point buzzer beater to win the game! Only 5 games left in the season, I see it ending up coming down to who has the least amount of injuries and the most enthusiasm built up for the playoffs. GS might be an important factor to just make the semi's on our side. I think at this point LA is running away with the league but anything could happen once the playoffs come around, and there is still time for people to add pieces!

Also, is anyone in this league on the off-site?

Negative, but seems your boy Mick is quite the player. I'm trying to tank to build up my trainees for now and failing miserably. I really didn't think I would even win 4 games but I guess I need to trash my enthusiasm and game shape more as well. I can always go bigger. :-)

If I were you, without seeing any skills, I would train Marquez, Barbay, and Olsen and sell off anyone else that has decent value. I tanked out of III and got a couple young guys that I'm training with Mick, as well as saved up a ton of money that has allowed me to purchase other competitive players. I'm going for an all-USA team so finding players to fix holes is a tad difficult. If you're trying to tank, I would start out the year giving everyone a CT to destroy enthusiasm then do that all year and your team should be miserable. It wasn't a fun year doing that... But! You should join the USA-Offsite. Tons of training and tactical advice, fun threads on what other teams are doing, and, of course, the National Team and U-21 main conversations are on there and that is a lot of fun.

I've been M.I.A most of the season but I'm working my way back to being pretty active. I have a pretty decent team but I think LA might be too much this season for me to even consider promotion.

Side note, I currently go to Penn State but grew up a UVA fan and follow UVA basketball religiously.

@Hutch44: I know Malcolm Brogdon and he went to my elemntary school. I have his old phone number lol.

I have some young talent on my team and have added some older pieces to try and fill in some weaker roles. Training has been rough as I have not gotten as many pops as I would have liked to have had this season. However, I have a solid foundation for the future that should keep me in DIV and up.

I feel that Shrews will come out of my division (Big 8? too lazy to look it up atm). LA Lager will come out of the other side and then will promote.

Fan of the Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, and Indiana Hoosiers.

Uncle Malcolm! Dude he is the man, obviously a huge UVA fan here (alum as well). It's funny because I really disliked him as a ball handler but when he moved to more of a SG and Perrantes took over at point he turned it on and really stepped into his own. Really hoping for a Final Four run soon, losing Anderson hurts obviously but Bennett will find a way.

But as far as the game goes, any advice on how long to train high potential trainees (HOF, MVP)? Should I train them until age 25 or so?

I'm going to be training my MVP trainee Forman at least through his 24 year old season, but might continue to round him out through 25 and into 26 if he lines up enough with other trainees.

@Falcons that's awesome! I remember looking through all of his HS highlights on youtube when he committed. He's really developed over the past few years; I heard he's been holding his own against guys like DeMar DeRozan at the Nike camps this summer.

@UVA-JA I have my MVP SG Barney that I've been training for 5 seasons now and I've had a couple of guys who made the USA U21 in the past. I'm planning on making him my focus until he's about 25 or 26 because that's when training really slows down (he'll probably be close to maxed out then).

If you want to maximize the money you can get for selling them, I'd train them until 21/22 and sell while they're young and their salary hasn't blown up yet. If you plan on making them your franchise guys, I'd go until 26 before making them less of a priority.

I'm not sure if you already know about it or not but buzzer-manager.com has a pretty useful salary estimator which I use to plan out my guys' training.

Only 1 game left to go! The top seeds in both conferences are set. 2 and 3 in the Big 8 are also set, but the 4 seed will be determined by the winner of clipshipmen and Indianapolis Icers. Depending on how that game goes the Mingo Miners could jump the loser and dig themselves out of a Relegation series. For the Great 8, the 4 seed is known, but who has HCA in the 2/3 match-up will be determined on Saturday.Both teams are playing non-playoff teams, but they could expect a CT since if only 1 of the lower ranked teams wins, then they avoid a Relegation series.

Glad to see some excitement for the league in the last regular season game before we get to playoffs!

And then there were 2... Good luck in the Finals Mighty Moose Rockets! I've enjoyed your string of upsets and just hope I won't be another victim!
