NOLa.

I gotta get use to this. So I think I am at 500k under salary cap. Can I still use MLE even if I'm not over the cap?

yes, you just miss out on using that 500k on someone else. I'd say anything under 1 mill it's a good idea to go ahead and use MLE (or LLE of 1.2 mill)

Yeah, I think so. At least, that's my understand of it. You can use it and go over cap with it.

Alright thanks for the replies, need to work on my GM magic fingertips.

I bid for Sheed. I'm one of the six. I'm ok to say it now because other teams can't change their bids according to the rules.

I haven't bid on sheed yet... and I can offer him whatever i want... MWAHAHAHAHA

Meh, I may give him another shot.

I have a question. I want to bid on another PF, but really only have cap room for one. Will bidding on two people affect it?

Could get 1 or the other; could get none.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it works. I think I'm just gonna go for the home run for now and see what happens. Settling for Big Al starting isn't a bad consolation prize. Sheed seemed to be happy last time he was here until he started missing games by faking various injuries.

Could get the other first then not get one.

Yeah that's true. I think some team will get him before me, but I'm cool with that.

having the most cap space in the league should help, but I've already come up short this off-season, so who knows.

I agree with ohnosono. I think he will end up with Sheed as well.

Mike Miller signs with the Bucks? The Bucks?

That has to be a typo right?

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.

Didnt have a clue I offered him 73 million.

NOLa.

So there's one more sim or was that it?
04-23-2013, 10:50 PM
IamQuailman

Mike Miller! I'm pretty excited about that. He can play both 2 and 3... good! Woohoo!

Hope the Hawks realized that Sheed sucked as a Center... lol

Raptors are looking legit. Mo Pete, Peja, Miller, David Lee... not bad.

I know, and I am thrilled with that. Adding Miller actually would have made quite a conundrum with Webster and McCants waiting in the wings.

Quail asked me about Miller and I told him not to bother cause I was offering him the deal that I did. So it is kind of an inside joke, but I'm still in disbelief.
04-23-2013, 10:54 PM

Offered 12 million for 5 years, wasnt to interested in him figuring he will go else where. Not mad that I got him though, I shall see how he plays out with my squad.
04-23-2013, 10:55 PM
Inner_GI

Wow. I wasn't willing to go higher than 10 for more than 3 years. He'll be an old fart by the end of the contract.

I'm just happy someone signed, esp a guy who can play 2 of my weakest positions

I went 2 years - 10 million for Sheed. Should have offered Odom and Keon Clark.

I still have Jefferson starting at PF, but I wanted to use him as a 6th man as a backup center and PF and sign a starting PF short-term. Starting Jefferson hurts my defense. That's why Etan Thomas started. I'll have to find a stop gap for this season.

Are you a different person? Are you looking for some sort of pat on the back it'll be ok? I'm confused. You traded Thomas last night. Did you throw away a championship chance based on a hunch that you'd land Sheed. I hope that isn't true.

In the Cavs versus Sonics adequate owner competition, I'd say both have been surprising no shows this free agency period.
