BBA Today Ep. 46 - Ron and Ted Begin Something Fun ...

I think you threw the wrong guy under the bus at the end there. If you look at the transactions made under my watch and my past trade blocks, I was attempting a rebuild the entire time...

Possibly. I feel like I remember you trying to sell some parts for a retool on the fly an having trouble getting buyers, for sure. Huber was definitely available.

Either way, a transition period for Vegas was inevitable after the buildup for the championship team, and it just hasn't gone ideally. No judgement there. The best of management still has to have some luck, and it hasn't really worked in the Hustlers favor.

[RonCo]

Well...there was also the Sell/Buy year. Was that 2042? Dunno.

I can always be wrong.

[bschr682]

If by buy you mean add different players sure, but I didn’t trade anything for them. Just took on salary which I think all rebuilding teams should do.

[RonCo]

If you read my recent team releases, you'd have noticed that there are only three players left from my last Landis team.

When Cannon becomes a free agent this offseason there will be two.

So I've already transitioned into Rockville 2.0. The question is whether there will be a Rockville 3.0 or not, and that I can't answer.

Fair enough...but I guess the main point here is that the Pikemen seem to be at a bit of an inflection point. One assumes you'll have to eat Cannon's salary, which is a pretty big chunk, and at 35, Dempster's contract is a fairly long risk. If things go south, they could go south quickly. So, 2.0 or 3.0, there's a movement happening, and those two will take some work to replace.

[RonCo]

All risks can be managed, though. Life is not for the timid.
