GM a Team: Free Agency Thread

Mascot · Post #41 » by **Mascot** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 6:37 pm

just to let you guys know the contracts for Bynum and Granger are done wrong.

it should be this
15,475,000
15,475,000 x 1.08 = 16,713,000
15,475,000 x 1.16 = 17,951,000
15,475,000 x 1.24 = 19,189,000
15,475,000 x 1.32 = 20,427,000

its actually based on first year for all years increases not the previous year.

we had this problem last time as well when people were doing up salaries.

also

from the CBA:

Here's a summary of the differences between an option and an ETO:

* Options can occur only when one season remains on the contract, while ETOs can occur when two seasons remain if the contract is for six seasons.
* Options can be included in any multiyear contract, but ETOs are allowed only with five or six year contracts.
* Options can be held by the player or the team, but ETOs are always held by the player (i.e., there's no such thing as a team Early Termination Option).
* Option years may not have a lower salary than the previous season. ETOs have no such restriction.
* A contract with a player option can be extended when the option is not exercised. A contract with an ETO may not be extended if the ETO is exercised.

so the Player Options could only be in the 4th year of the contracts.

thanks and I should have remembered that about the salaries; I'll fix it in any future signings.

I was told Danny Granger would either sign with me, or sign an offer sheet with another team today. I just want to make sure I'm not out of the loop again, what happened?

If you look at skorf's post (it's quoted in other posts), it clearly states that you can match it. So if he does decide to sign with another team, all you have to do is email skorf.

Minnesota Timberwolves have signed undrafted rookie Wesley Matthews
1st year - 457,588 guaranteed
2nd year - 736,420 unguaranteed
3rd year - 825,497 unguaranteed
-Wesley is happy to get the opportunity to play in the NBA

The Atlanta Haws have signed undrafted rookie Marcus Thorton
1st year - 457,588 guaranteed
2nd year - 736,420 unguaranteed
3rd year - 825,497 unguaranteed
- Marcus is also happy to get an opportunity to play in the NBA

The Detroit Pistons have announced that they have resigned Andrew Bynum
1st year - 14mil
2nd year - 15.4 mil
3rd year - 16.8 mil
4th year - 18.2 mil
5th year - 19.6 mil ETO
6th year - 21.2 mil
-Andrew has decided to go with the Detroit Pistons offer and is very happy to be back. He knew that whatever he decided the Pistons were going to keep him around, but he felt that there offer was slightly better because of the 6th year that was offered. Andrew realizes that he has had a few injuries and that extra year could be really beneficial to him down the line.

The Sacramento Kings have extended an offer sheet to Danny Granger.
1st year - 15,475,000
2nd year - 16,713,000
3rd year - 17,957,000
4th year - 19,189,000
5th year - 20,427,000 (Player Option)
-Danny Granger loves Indiana and hopes that they will match the offer sheet. If they don't however, he is excited what a young team like Sacramento could do. Danny seriously considered Oklahoma City and Indiana's offers as well, but he felt that he was a better fit in Sacramento than in Oklahoma City; and even though he loves Indiana, Sacramento's offer was over 10M dollars better; it was a hard choice not to pick Indiana's offer, but he felt that the extra money was worth it especially since he hopes Indiana will choose to keep him.

The Memphis Grizzlies have signed Ronnie Price
1st year - 2,500,000
2nd year - 2,500,000
-Ronnie really liked the offer from Memphis. He likes the young talent on Memphis team and thinks he will fit in very well.
