Nooo ... Do not spend 40k/wk on draft points. It's not worth it. Stick to 10k/wk ... Do you have any draft points saved from previous seasons? Me, I've just kept it on 10k/wk since forever, most drafts I don't spend much if any, then when I do want to invest in the draft ... Right now I have well over 100 draft points, ready to go any season I drop down and get a high pick.

Even 28 points would hopefully be enough to find a diamond, with a little luck. Group demo to single scout 19 of them, and interview 9 5-ball prospects.

As for the community tab info ... It's something I've seen before, but I've never paid attention to it.

Failed to set a line-up today. I blame both the site and my body clock being messed up as of late. Moral of the story is that it pays to have a proper default set, as I just about got away with it tonight barring the loss of enthusiasm for the next few games.

I posted this in global suggestions, but not a lot of managers read global these days so I'll briefly mention it here too. I think the game would benefit from HCA being removed entirely. Whilst I have quit other online managers in the past for the results being too random, there are times in Buzzerbeater where it goes too far the other way, and an otherwise exciting matchup can be instantly called based on who has home court (see; most ABBL finals series). So I feel it might be time to scrap it. Thoughts?

I think HCA adds some realism to the game, without it the chances of an upset become less likely? Like everything in this game I think it probably needs a review as to how strong it is.

I agree. I think it has a place but seems to be a little overpowered to me so should be reviewed and potentially tweaked.

Other factors such as game day prep, or pr manger could also come in the calculations as wel as couple of other things. Doesn't mean that its may not be too strong still but who knows.

So SHP has done a total reshuffle of the roster.

It's strange ... The purchase of the high salaried 27 and 30 year olds suggests trying to compete and win now and over the next 3-5 seasons, but the big "fire sale" suggests trying to bottom out and rebuild.

I'm curious what's next, I'm thinking we're not yet done with the turnover and particularly the new acquisitions to this club. I think maybe he's trying to prioritise something in his new players that might not have been there or as carefully planned with the old roster, maybe?

If I had to judge it purely on the players in vs players out now, I'd say Surry is playing to retain ABBL position now and wait for the trio of Koop/HBG/WA to decline somewhat. It's basically what I'm doing too. But the salaries of the two recent acquisitions make me believe they are all-in, but haven't found a supporting cast to invest in yet. Could put them on the back foot if it takes too long for the right players to hit the market.

Your speculation is pretty close.

The guys I let go had basically topped out and weren't going to cut it and had hit the sweet spot for selling to get reasonable value. The top guns have some pretty heavy salaried guys and will be hard to overcome.

It's a chess game and includes a bit of luck, TBH I just love a competitive game and hope some scouting and tactics provide some upsets.
