Build a Franchise- Season 5 Discussion thread- Announcement on page 79 

Post#1 » by bishnykfan » Tue Jul 20, 2021 4:14 am

Previous thread- https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2092085

Our draft will begin on Saturday morning at 6AM when Houston goes on the clock. Free agency will begin a few weeks after the conclusion of the draft sometime in the middle of August, exact date to be determined. Below you will find all free agent ranks for this upcoming offseason.

Final bit of news for this update: Unfortunately, swisscheeseD has still not responded to multiple PM's. He has not reached out in anyway and has missed the entire offseason to this point. He has not even been on the site in seven weeks. And if he is unfortunately gone, we need to replace him in time to give his replacement a chance to acclimate themself with the league before the draft and FA. With that said, I would like to welcome HerSports85 to the game as the new GM of the Chicago Bulls. HS85 was top of the waiting list and responded within a few hours of my initial outreach to them showing an interest in getting into the game. HS85 has been on RealGM for nearly 10 years and has 12,000+ total posts. Losing swiss is another blow to the league in a year that saw many original GM's leave us. Hopefully HS85 can pick up where he left off and contribute as much as many of our newer GM's have already done. Good luck HS85.

If anyone has any questions regarding the draft or FA, please feel free to ask them here or via PM.

Where are we with the free agency process decision? Things are getting close.

After taking everything into consideration my preference is now:

• Private PM Bidding on Time Slots (w/ a maximum on the # of players a GM can bid on).

Full disclosure, I don't understand any of the FA process, list, or anything.

There are also a lot of discussions taking place about it that makes me even more confused.


So my goal is to just fill out my roster without needing to use it.

Probably best for you to sit this one out and observe, as you’re intending to do.

The free agent class is weak, due to be overpaid, and has too many GMs with cap space, so some bloated 1-year deals are due to be given out as GMs will look to preserve cap for 2022 in preparation of those bidding wars.

It’s a players market for sure, not a GMs market, so you won’t be missing much.

Agreed. I plan on sitting out as well.
