How in the blue hell did he pass up a 4yr 24,000,000 contract for a freaking MLE.

Quail, you just made my ignore list.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't get Mo Pete!!

Can I ask what contract you offered? Just trying to figure out how this game works.

Ball I wanted to ask about what I should do with my situation with the luxury tax bill from Bee-Fence. He hadn't kept up with his points since January I think. Will the bill be waived on my part and I just start over?

Done with FA this season. I signed a backup PG/SG. It was definitely a learning experience.

I can't find the lux bill post, but I do think you'd have to pay that bill. You also keep his points, so If he has 40 points now, you inherit 40 points.

You keep his inherited points like Inner said, but unless commish states otherwise you'd be due for the bill. If your team does not make the playoffs; then you will get points redistributed and it should almost be a wash. I think if you got a 2 you could still be a playoff team if you wanted it.

Anyone find a good proxy?

Alright sounds good. Where is the luxury bill thread with what each team owes? I saw it when it was released but it might have been lost in the transition of the forum name change.

Contract for Mo Pete? 4 yr 7.4and change 10%. My original proposal to him was the same exact contract as Peja, 5 yr 8mil 5%, but since I got Peja and he didn't sign I decided to change it to a contract that paid more total over the 4 years and not offer the 5 yr.

So I shortened the years, made the first year smaller, and upped the percentage. I prefer to keep the raises each year lower, but I don't think the players like that as much.

If you're asking about Miller, 4yr 5.2 (good bit above the MLE) 10%

There is no figuring out how this game works, no science to FA whatsoever.

There was a lot of good deals handed out. There were a lot of bad deals handed out. the Hawks have really really handcuffed themselves kind of like the Hawks IRL. I forsee a lot of 6-8 seeds and first and second round exits for them.

I offered Mo Pete 3 years 7mil 0% increase. So you can change your contract proposals in between sim rounds?

I came in last year during the 2nd round of the draft. I was completely unaware about how FA or what to do so I bid on no one lol

Yep. Every round u can change wither increasing or decreasing the offer. You can also remove bids and add bids.

In between sims, yes.

Things change after players sign so you sometimes have to make changes.

Changes made to an offer before a sim is frowned upon.

You're a sneaky pick to win your division IMO.

Edit: Actually if you find a good Center or a Backup that can play the 4/5 ; you'd be a sneaky pick in the West.

Exactly, In my case I would have withdrew my offer for Mo Pete but thankfully it worked out. Thanks for the info guys.

The real question is, what is going on with the Knicks and Wizard's franchises?

Thank you sir. There's been a lot of ups and downs for me this offseason but I think in the end, the ups outweigh the downs.

I have to admit that I had some help and good input from a few members here. You know who you are. Thanks guys, I'm great at making decisions for other people but can't ever decide for myself.
