RCF Redraft Free Agency Period

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
So.

Does bird rights for everyone basically mean there will be next to no free agency signings?

Yeah i think so. It depends on how mid and small market teams cope with the lux tax issues. If we ignore them then it might lead to a very stagnant market as teams over the cap now will just go up and up and run a huge 5 year deficit

Not necessarily. Guys will simply decide not to resign with teams without their input. Usually only teams that don't make playoffs, but I've lost Isaiah Thomas even after doing well. You can try to sign them with everyone else, but even then they can refuse the first couple days.

Not entirely clear how FA is going to be handled yet so I won't hazard any guesses on what it might be like. But I have seen LeBron James out there during 2017 preseason when Milwaukee doesn't make the playoffs. I don't think that's the computer choosing not to sign him.

Also as I understood it all the markets were the same size. we all start even

I picked him up in season four of my sim in a salary dump, and traded four prospects for a blue chip number one pick and kept my core of my best (current) prospects.. Went 76-6 with a MOV of 26.

About to win my third final in a row against them new York Knicks

Ran a sim to double check and I had it mixed up the season they are signed for they will play that season.

so a guy signed through 2017 will not have to be resigned until preseason of 2018
 
Aright I spent like ten hours on this in the last three days. Won five rings in 9 years with a winning percentage of .800.

New York, Lakers and pelicans were up there with me every year.

This thing is addictive. Might bow out
 
Nicolas Batum is on the block
I need youth... If someone has a young wing player who has a specialty (3pt, perimeter defense, etc.) PM a trade. I want someone who is in their first three seasons in the NBA. I'd be willing to take a talent downgrade for Batum.

@Simon is trying to move abrines
 
gonna let this weekend run its course. then make trades official as well as launch free agency. period.

Then we can set up final rosters and kick off theseason
 
I mean, I thought we had a deal David lol.
I'd make a deal centering around Batum for Oladipo. I'll take Abrines if you find someone on my team you want. I'm the Lakers.
 
Is there a final version of the Google doc somewhere?
 
Okay I need all GMs to declare what trades they are accepted. no trade will be final until all gms involved with trade confirm trade.
