I'm pretty happy with Martin's contract, specifically that I didn't have to increase it over the years. I overpaid up front to avoid the bigger hit in the long run.

Hollywood, you want to start working on a Miller trade?

Not with the new Lux tax rules that may happen lol.

Hornet getting morris peterson is ridiculous. Best move by far.

Im happy to have wesley back in the fold as my 6th man.

Im not sure what was going through the Hawks GM when he gave Rose that contract.

Not really. I dont even know if he'd consider it an upgrade from Turk from last year.

Are we going with cap+5m or cap+10m as the luxury tax cap?

question for you cap guys.... I was under the cap and then i re-signed Mihm and Wesley which brought me over the cap. Do I still have my MLE or no?

Yes you do. Assuming you didn't use it on Wesley.

Was in a rush to turn in offers...
Oh well lol.

Jason Williams signs with Lakers.
Peja Stojakovic signs with Grizzlies.
Mike Miller signs with Knicks.
Cuttino Mobley signs with Wolves.
Antonio Daniels signs with Wolves.
Bo Outlaw signs with Celtics.
Nazr Mohammed signs with 76ers.
Ron Mercer signs with Suns.
Greg Minor signs with Magic.
Derrick Anderson signs with Raptors.
Brent Barry signs with Wolves.

The lakers finally got their point guard... Nazr is definitely gonna bring some Nice d off the bench.

Damn the Lakers and Grizzlies :D

I really like the peja signing for the grizz, still dont understand the one year deals. Glad I got Bo if you don't mind me asking BSH did you ever play him at SF?

Yes he will. Good pickup. Just don't ask him to score any. I even spent big $$$$ trying to improve him in that department. He still just wouldn't shoot.

Sweet, got some good SG depth with Mercer.

when is the next sim?

I will say that Peja turned down a 4yr $26 mil offer from Raptors to sign big for that one year.

And I'm pretty sure my offer wasn't the best.

Saturday

No but I also had a ton of sf depth over the past few years.

I'm really loving how my team is rounding out.

As the owner of your first round pick I am not.

I'm not :hihi:

FA started out really good for me and now has turned into a big fat dud. I shouldve done 1 yr deals.

Lol. Well I've gotten a lot more luck than last year, when I couldnt even get someone to take my MLE. SMH.

Yo Balls, clear your inbox brah

Done

Damn I should've made an offer to Peja, I figured someone would give him a max and he wasnt the best fit so I used my cap on other offers, but great deal for the Grizz

Hmmm wasn't really expecting to get Peja... Makes things interesting

Do we know how many FA Sims we're doing?

If there was a sim today I was going to do a first take tomorrow. Unfortunately it's tomorrow :/

I was really excited about this off-season until you signed Peja.

:grphug: lol sorry

Had to do something, felt like I was getting passed up by everyone. Not having to pay Zo 20,000,000 is amazing

Was a good move. Will be interesting what you do at the 1 spot though. I know the feeling lol.

Meh not too worried about it yet, just wait till the end of the FA sim and snatch someone up

That'll be tough but you never know ! I would say that about iverson but I don't think that's happening lol.

Really looking forward to training camp. Key battles at center, power forward, and backup PG.

Jason Collins and Dan Dickau are available for 2nd round picks.

Speedy Claxton may be available after training camp.

Yeah to get Zo for 12 mill and only 3 years was amazing. I imagine I'll have to sign Webber to a 5 year deal starting at 15. At least AI is a couple years younger.

Mamadou Ndiyae signs with Magic.
DeAngelo Collins signs with Mavericks.
Donyell Marshall signs with Lakers.
Brevin Knight signs with Grizzlies.
Cedric Ceballos signs with Heat.
Vonteego Cummings signs with Grizzlies.
Eddie Robinson signs with 76ers.
Dorrell Wright signs with Blazers.

Don't understand this game. You offer a guy long term for a mil less and he turns it down for a 1 year deal. Then you offer a short one and he takes long. So frustrating, this FA has really ****ed me (outside of corliss).

Damn Blazers kept me from being perfect on FA targets/FA signings

Wow another big signing for me. Marshall was a complete luxury signing and i'm happy to have him.

AD23forMVP
Are we adopting the new points system?
Are we adopting the new Lux tax rule?

smh I offered Marshall 6 million more :confused:, and the guys I offered my exceptions to didnt even sign
