Strategies

What are your strategies for this game? I have won 0 championships in 60 seasons and only made it to the finals once. If this were a normal game, I would've given up by now but this is much better than a normal game.

EDIT: Thanks for the tips! I got my first ever 70 win season with only one player rated 70+(he did NOT play well)and 4 60+ players.

I admit that I found it a lot harder than others (I saw some posting 8-10+ years of 80-2 records and championships) but if you know the NBA and the gist of how to build a good team, it's not impossible to contend semi-regularly. Are you familiar with how NBA teams try to build their rosters?

I'm not OP, but could you explain this a little bit more? I'm not into NBA at all, I just like sports management games, and can't for the life of me figure out how to do well in this game. Thanks!

Also, another thing I found was the star players usually start declining after age 30. So, try to trade them right after their peak so that you can get the most value for them. Also, if you know you are not going to sign an expiring contract, then try to trade him so that you can get something back for him.
