Build a Franchise- Season 5 Discussion (Free Agency Edition)- Free Agency schedule on page 82

[bishnykfan]

- EDIT- All Bird rights players being resigned will officially sign their contracts on Sunday August 29. Teams who wish to use additional cap space must do so before midnight on August 28. The only exception will be if a team is actively leading a bid on a different FA. If the team is actively leading a bid at midnight August 28, they can continue to bid on that specific player only using whatever cap space they have before their Bird FA officially signs.

Added this to the FA announcement on page 17. A team asked how long they have to use the cap space they would have leftover after unofficially signing their Bird FA(s). Last year, no FA signed after day 5 for more than $3. This edit will allow teams to use their cap space for up to a week before the Bird FA officially signs their deal and uses up the teams remaining cap space.

I agree. Spinning my wheels gets old after a week or two.

Also wanted to remind teams of the rule that was put in place last year. Once Sunday at 6AM hits, no mentioning any player who has had a bid placed on them in the discussion thread.

In respect to free agency- Once a player has a bid placed on them, no GM can mention them publicly in the discussion thread. Bringing up any players name or anything that can be used as an identifier of said player once he has a bid announced in the free agent thread will be prohibited and deemed as tampering. Once the player has signed his contract, then all discussion on that player can resume. This rule is meant to stop the manipulating of bids and tampering with free agent negotiations between player and team.

I will be out most of tomorrow and will be prepping for FA on Saturday afternoon. Please take a last look over your roster and make sure everything is correct. Please make sure that no transactions got lost from the sites glitch the other day and all rosters and salary info is correct.

If anyone has any final questions on FA, please don't wait until Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Can I claim a player off of waivers with my exception if the player only has one season left?

You can use your exemption any way you choose. You can acquire the player via trade, free agency, waiver claim, etc as long as he fits in the spot you have available, $12/1 year.

Mine is more like "that dastardly Buzzard better not bid on Dusty Hannahs."

[Capn'O]

If dusty hannahs is still available next year I'm taking him on general principle.

Just typed out what I am going to send to Bish Sunday morning. Not a ton of dough to spend, but I feel pretty good about my plan.

Now the trick question. I pick up said player and put them in my 15th spot. Porter becomes eligible to be active. I have no cap space to buy either of them out. Do I get to choose which to release/waive and carry on?

If a player on the EL is no longer eligible to remain on the EL due to them signing with an NBA team and also being in the sim then that player must be activated immediately. A team without the cap space to activate him must waive, without penalty, the player that they used their exemption on.
