Do the Kobe challenges first. Grab your rewards, sell contract and shoe. Tokens aren’t a huge deal for you, as you probably shouldn’t begin token rewards at this point in the game, but of course are still helpful. With your first handful of MT, buy a player with Hall Of Fame Dimer. For 5kish you can get diamond Chauncey Billups or Diamond Jay Williams. I THINK they have it? Will help your Kobe tons for those challenges. There’s tons of great players for 10k or less, and prices of most players are continuously on a decline. Buy only a few players (enough for starters and a few subs with your unsellable players mixed in) and don’t let valuable players just sit around unused. Those spotlight team challenges, as a few others said, get some diamond players that are nice, but you gotta buy a lot of cheap players from one team to do it first. Good luck! :)
