BaF Discussion Thread #14- (2018 Free Agency and Offseason continued)- Announcement on page 98

[bishnykfan]

ANNOUNCEMENT

Today is the final day of our initial 30 day free agency period. 13 teams currently have 17 open roster spots. 29 of our 30 teams have legal rosters as of now considering every team now only needs a 13 man roster to start next season. I will be away next week at a place with questionable wifi so the next stage of free agency will begin Sunday 8/5. Any undrafted college players, G-Leaguers and any other eligible players not yet put on the free agent list will be available for bids during this next stage of free agency.

Now, after 80 offseason trades, our initial draft and our first attempt at free agency, we are going to hit a bit of a lull before our season starts back up again in November when the SIM comes out. I would like to keep people involved and active during this time and have thought about a few different scenarios to do this. First, I thought about having anyone who wanted complete a preseason power rankings. Basically, what I was hoping for is for each GM to rank the other 29 teams and send them to me via PM. I would tabulate all of the rankings and release a BaF preseason power rankings before our season starts. No GM would be forced to do this, but any team who doesn't participate, will not be ranked. If you want to see how your team is viewed, then take the time to rank them and send them in to me anonymously. Maybe we can kill some time and have some fun over these next three months.

My second idea to kill this long dead period is to have a season preview. Basically, I would assign one team at random to each team to do a preseason writeup. Nothing crazy, just strengths, weaknesses, predictions, etc. Again it would be anonymous and could be fun to hear another GM's thoughts on your team (similar to an SI preseason preview with the quotes from the anonymous front office exec). And again, there would be no penalty if you don't participate, other than your team will not get previewed.

Finally, as far as yesterday's topic of the day, extensions. I've been thinking about a fair way to come up with something and think I have an idea that could work. I will spend tomorrow refining it and maybe next week and then write something up either tomorrow or when I get back from my vacation.

Any thoughts on any of this, let me know...

Hoffa's that guy that thinks he's playing 5th dimmensional space chess and everyone else is playing checkers but in reality everyone is playing Uno and he's been staring at his hand for 15 minutes when he only has 3 cards

On Billy Preston, who signed a two-way contract: “The guy needs time, but man what a profile! He’s got the size we all want and the skillset we all crave. When he went undrafted, we made getting him a priority. And he showed here in Vegas that we made the right decision.”

just remember I was the one who put u on billy

Thanks my friend...

Am I the only one that is curious about where Bish is going? Everest maybe?

Some more from NBA execs and talent evaluators from Vegas Summer League on my rooks and young vets ready to make the jump...

On Collin Sexton: “We needed someone who wants to be the guy. He wants that. You can see it. He’s a bulldog and takes on all comers. We’re very happy to have him.”

On Kevin Knox: “No one is booing now! [Laughter] I think we could draft the entire Dream Team in their primes and the fans would boo. That’s kind of their thing. Look, the league is in a spot where if you don’t have a bunch of guys who can create their own shot and switch on anyone, you won’t win. Kevin is huge. He’s 6’9’’ and has great strength. But he’s also very quick too. For what we are building, he’s ideal.”

On adding Mario Hezonja: “What do you guys call it? Second draft? That’s an interesting term. Mario has a ton of ability, but has only put it all together for really short bursts. He needed a fresh start. We think he’ll thrive here. He’s got that attitude of someone who wants to be great. You need that in New York.”
