Then doing it privately doesnt make sense, in the NBA dont you think the player is looking to get the best offer and telling GMs "top this or I'm signing somewhere else"Quote:

10-31-2012, 03:40 PMLoCo89Ya sure, I'll agree with that probably happens with a few of your own guys, but do I think every FA is gonna tell every team what he's making? NoQuote:

Again as I suggested... maybe a thread for the players that have offers out there just saying only top offers like "Lakers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Nets are interested"... Not indicating how much, but jsut to give people an idea of the teams interested and their cap space availabel

PS - whenever Eric Gordon comes out in the draft and someone drafts him in the first... be sure to draft a tampon in the 2nd round

I mean we'll be overpaying from the start because we won't wanna risk losing our star players. Your idea would certainly help in that regard. -
10-31-2012, 05:50 PMIamQuailmanI did it in one of those threads where there was arguing/idea sharing about FA rules (aka every other thread lol) but yeah.... Glad yall like the idea!Quote:

and can we make the 1 year deals untradeable? in the NBA a player who signs a 1 year deal can veto the trade

I Wouldn't add any rules, just make the bidding private and send out offers for what you think the guy is worth. Send all of your offers in one PM. Hope you get the ones you want

11-01-2012, 06:44 AMConroyThen there should at least be one sim dedicated to re-signings. You would either massively overpay your stars on your team or lose them. The team should have some sort of advantage when it comes to resigning their guys and not be on level playing field with everyon else.Quote:

If its so people don't get overpaid, some people will probably just feel the need to overpay right off the bat to be safe anywayQuote:

So if you want to pay what you think they are worth you know for a fact someone else is overpaying. And you can still increase your offer if they don't sign right away.Quote:

I thought the bidding war we were preventing was driving up the price then people backing out. But prices on Free Agents get driven up all the time, so I'm OK with it.

I think the 1 year deals that were thrown out to drive price up were a little outlandish. Which is why i kind of like the 1 year deals not able to be traded, but there's a significant drawback. If you don't allow that, a ton of deals will be off the table due to your min level players not being able to be traded because of teams needing a mill here and there to make cap figures work.Quote:
