Previous thread- https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2211988

All bidding is closed. A few people sent in bids after 6PM which will have to be resent when we reopen FA.

I will start announcing signings in a few minutes. Have to plug in the laptop and grab something to eat quickly.

Any player who has a signing time posted after 6PM will carry over to tomorrows window. I’m driving to Philly tomorrow morning and should be home around 6PM. I’m hoping to restart then. Assuming that works out, if you have a bid time of between 6-8PM then that time will hold for tomorrow night. If you have a bid time post 8PM, then that signing time will revert back to 8PM.

I will be able to get back on my laptop shortly to announce signings and answer any questions.

Wow. So... that's why Soul didn't.

The Washington Wizards have agreed to sign Malik Monk for $80/4 years.

[mpharris36]

monk is a good signing there. Young enough and going to a team he should be able to score.

His numbers on LA were really strong and good EFF for someone that can put up 15 ppg.

(WAS) malik monk is a really good signing. he was top on my radar. i needed shooting. just didn't get him. 80 seems fair for him. should be a 2.5-3 star guy.

(WAS) fultz might be a great gamble. not sure i would've given him 4 years. he was a 2-star guy, due to a big injury. ended up having another major injury last year. if fultz comes back great IRL, he could go back to being a 3+ star guy, which would make this contract look a lot better

(MIA) lonnie walker is a solid signing. pretty cheap for a guy who has good upside. could be a steal, if he has a breakout season. will be a 2-star guy, maybe even 2.5.

(MIA) jam green should be an alright signing. cheap contract. a versatile guy who will at least be 2-2.5 stars for the following 5 years, barring major injury.

(MIA) the prince signing is fine. it's cheap. he's trending downwards since his solid years in atlanta. will likely be a 1.5-2 star guy. that's fine for $10.

(MIA) matthews is a cheap signing. not sure he has 4 years left in the tank, though. however, at $2, who cares. will be a 1.0-2.0 star guy. likely a 1-star to start this year

(CHA) hoford at 1 year is a great signing. he was 3-star last year. has breakout games in SIM from time to time. will likely be a 2.5 star guy, maybe 3 star if they pad his defense ratings

(CHA) terrance mann was on my radar. he went a lot cheaper than i thought he would. that's my fault for not trying to go after him for my first 5. was a 2 star guy this past year, will likely be a 2.5 star this year

(CHI) gary harris for $10 is great. yes, he has been trending downwards from a few years ago, but for $10, he'll be a solid 2-star for the next 4 years, and possibly 2.5 or 3 if he can get back to his old self.

(CHI) niang might be a good signing. he had a bit of an uptick this past year. great 3PT shooter, hopefully the SIM will account for that. was a 1.5 star guy last year, might be a 2 star guy. at $5, who cares.

(CHI) dammit. john wall was one of my main targets. only 2 years is what i gave him. great decision. IRL, this year decides his future. i predict he'll be fine, moving forward. was a 3-star last year. will likely be a 2.5-3 star this year. if he has a stellar year, he could end up going back to a 4-star guy. at $50, that'll be amazing.

(UTA) derrick white is a solid signing as well. did take a bit of a statistical hit, due to being low on the totem pole for IRL BOS. was a 2.5 star guy. will likely be 2.5 again. $25, 5 years for a guy who will pretty much at least be a 2.5 for the whole contract is great

(CLE) nunn could potentially be one of the better signings. if he comes back healthy and hungry for his next contract, and breaks out in IRL LAL, he should be a guaranteed 2.5+ star. he was 2.5 in last year's SIM. i think he'll take a hit for this first year, though, due to missing the whole year (a la Fultz). probably 2 star, but they may keep him at 2.5

(CLE) reggie jackson getting $15 for 4 years might be one of the better signings. this past year jackson was only a 2-star. he'll AT LEAST be a 2.5, maybe going back to a 3-star like he was a few years ago. he'll be a 2-3 star player for all 4 years. for $15, this is one of the top signings so far.

(CLE) the melo signing is another good one by BAF melo. he was a 2.5 star this past year. will likely be a 2-2.5. for $2, at that 3PT shooting boost he'll likely get? great, cheap, low risk signing.

(CLE) at $15, the oladipo signing might be okay. he's predicted to have a better season. again, at $15 for 5 seasons, it shouldn't be a big deal. i think oladipo will take a hit, and likely be a 2-star guy, maybe 2.5 star.

(OKC) the holmes signing will be an interesting one. he was a 3-star guy. took a decent hit statistically. think he's going to take a dip, maybe back to a 2.5 star. but if he can play out of his mind in a cluttered frontcourt in IRL SAC, this may turn out to be a great signing.

(MIL) my bledsoe signing i'm not too upset about. could've maybe had him for less. for 2 years i'm okay with it. was a 2.5-star last season. took a hit in almost all statistics this past year, so will likely drop to 2-star. for only 2 years, i'm okay with it.

(MIL) $30 was definitely too much. but for 1 year, i'm not too angry about the lopez signing. been consistent 12-13 ppg, 4-5 rpg the last 5 years. big uptick in outside shooting, which i need. was a 2.5 star last year. will likely be 2.5 again this season. for a backup C, i'm okay with it

(BKN) mo bamba was on my list, but not in that price range. he's young, so 4 years is fine. he ended the year pretty strong. was only a 2-star player. will likely be a 2.5 star guy. think that's a bit much for bamba. but if he breaks out as the lead big man in ORL, it may be a great choice.

(POR) wow. the richardson signing may be the best one so far. not because he's that great, just because he only cost $1. he was on my list, but i figured he'd be too expensive for what i wanted to pay. was a 2.5 star last season, will likely be a 2.5 this year, and AT least a 2-star for the remaining 3 years after

(LAC) biggest gamble so far, with warren. only 3 years, so it's not as long as oladipo. he was 1.5 star last year, due to injuries. will likely be 1.5 again this year. that said, if he can go back to his pre-injury level of play, he'll go back to being a 3-3.5 star player. at 65, this could potentially be a hell of a signing

(SAS) covington at $44 should be a fine signing. he was a 2.5 star guy last year, and improved upon that. he was a 3-star guy at one point in the SIM. if the SIM does a better job factoring in his defense (should be higher than the 67 he got last year), he should maintain that 2.5+ star status for all 4 years

(DAL) a great signing by dallas. plumlee was a 3-star guy last year. he will likely take a small hit, and be a 2.5 star guy this time around. but for only 2 years, he's a great backup/low minute starter, especially at that price.

(GSW) fournier at $16 for 4 years is fine. he was a 2.5 star last year, and will likely be a 2 star guy this year, and moving forward. $16 for a 2-star guy is fine. his scoring was a 69 rating last year. it will likely drop, but still not bad to have that, and his shooting, coming off the bench for that price

(DEN) i love caruso. his defense is great. small bump in a bunch of his stats. but his EFF wasn't so hot. he was 2.5 stars this past year. will likely stay 2.5 for the next 4 years if he doesn't break out. at $45, that's not too bad.

(DEN) i'm a delon wright fan, since i love me tall PGs. he was a 2.5 star this past year. he'll likely take a big hit, after dropping stats moving to IRL ATL. will likely be a 1.5-2 star coming in; maybe they'll keep him at 2.5 because he was consistent prior to this past year. at $10, it might be fine.

(DEN) the josh green signing might pay off for DEN. as a 3rd stringer, he might be fine. he was a 1-star guy, but got some more minutes IRL. at $2, not a big deal, especially if he can keep carving out a bigger role IRL.

(NYK) this is a good rose signing. he was one of my targets. for only 2 years, it's not a big gamble, which is what you want with rose. he was a 2.5 star guy. he'll likely stay the same, MAYBE drop to 2-star. as a backup PG, this is a good signing

(BOS) a 1 year deal for hardaway is fine. if BAF BOS doesn't compete (are they still tanking?), a team might want to take him on as a rental, since he was a 2.5 star last year, with 66 SCR rating

(MEM) $30 for bryant might end up being a bit. he was only a 2-star guy, and will likely drop to 1.5 stars after going through another injury year. that said, he's only 24ish, so he could bounce back to a 3-3.5 star guy like he was in the past.

(MEM) well, i'm a Cuse guy, and i never would've guessed anything about cole swider. he wasn't in the SIM last season. $10 isn't a lot, but 4 years for a guy who might not even make it in the SIM might be a head scratcher. but more power to you (like when Taco drafted Joffrey Reynolds, https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f07a0033-6267-4de7-95b6-e743b8d0f060)

(POR) nerlens for $1 is nice. was a 2.5 star last season. will likely be a 2.0 or less moving forward, though. but for $1, it's a great backup/3rd string signing.

(POR) $1 for dunn is nice. he was on my radar. good defensive player, had a nice, short bounce back after ATL. we'll see if he'll last. but for $1, it could be a great signing.

(POR) $1 for aldridge is a hell of a steal. aldridge likely won't make it all 4 years. but for $1, it's no big deal. will likely stay a 2.5 star next season, MIGHT drop to 2 star. but for $1, that's a great signing.

(POR) $5 for whiteside is fine. a 2-star guy whose best years are behind him. but for $5, will be a solid backup for the next few years. should stay a 2-star for those years, as long as he doesn't get hurt, or lazy. we'll see if he can make it all 4 years.

The Miami Heat have agreed to sign Taurean Prince for $10/4 years.

[E-Balla]

Not sure about Fultz at all but Monk is a good deal. Fultz will at least be great in the sim next year I think.

Miami with good back to back to back ones. Especially Lonnie he's loved by Pop.

[mpharris36]

lonnie is a interesting signing...Monk got much more EFF playing with LeBron.

Gotta think Walker can too.

[HEZI]

I thought about making offers to Fultz and or Monk but decided not to and took a different route. Looks like I made the wise decision as I wasn’t going to match those bids. Good pickups for a young Washington squad

Sent in one pm today with three offers to 3 guys and looks like I landed all 3. Exciting!

see, i think fultz is going to take a big hit in the SIM this season. coming off 2 consecutive injury laden seasons most likely won't bode well.


that said, i think it's a good gamble because i think fultz, IRL, will bounce back and have a solid rest of his career. so i think this season won't look good for fultz in the SIM, but the rest after that should be fine.

$100 was a lot more than what i was going to do, but it might turn out great in the long run

The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to sign Al Horford for $92/1 year.

[mpharris36]

yeah charlotte is good....the metrics look really good for Horford

[Fat]

Pretty sure I could of signed matthews to $1 but whatever lol. He only gonna play if injuries happen $2 will do

[Buzzard]

Solid signings all around. I had big AL on my radar but not enough cap to even make him blink.

someone probably had to go into the 60's at way longer than you want for Horford if you wanted to beat that.
