FREE AGENTS

*- Eligible to be signed once free agency begins

Players without an asterisk are eligible to be signed at any time


I’d like an interpretation of this stipulation from any one of my 28 GM counterparts. Since apparently I can’t get clarification from the commish himself.

Has any of you attempted to sign a free agent who didn’t have an asterisk by their name?

If you did, did you have to go through the bidding process or were they signed immediately to your team as per the red font language above?

If you don’t feel comfortable answering in public, please pm me.

Thanks!

Players without an asterisk were eligible to be bid on as soon as the new league year opened (such as Jordan Poole). The others needed to wait for the free agency period. You still bid and have to wait to see if others up the bid. You don't get them immediately.

Players without an asterisk were players who were not on a roster when the last season ended.

Gotcha. Thanks! I was under the impression they would sign right away without having to be bid on. Appreciate the correction.

If possible, I'd appreciate you taking out some of that bitterness on a different team this playoffs. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I think it's a six hour period. They get the "Dusty Hannahs has been offered a contract. Will sign at midnight with cool jazz playing in the background if this offer is not beaten" message next to their name until they sign/Bish wakes up.

No bid but you have to wait a day I think. That's what happened with Frank Jackson and Dekker IIRC and that was pre free agency.

Honestly I think whoever has the best shot is the best shooting and defending team. With that said SOUL might be able to pull it off if he can get lucky and make it through the West or get another big signing.

Same for New Era since Harden is a great defender on the sim and he has 2 guaranteed sources of efficient high volume offense. Anyone that tops you is going to need a bit of luck on their side though.

You're a great defensive PG away... Conley is good but not enough you need someone to match PG13 and Gobert.
