We will use real life standings for the draft order

There will be a trading period before the draft since we have to see who is declaring for the draft anyway.

If you have a strong preference to either using 08-09 salaries or 09-10 salaries during the trading period; post your reasoning in this thread; and I will make a decision tomorrow night.

Do this.

Trading 08/09 salaries.
Draft
Trading (1 week max) either salaries, not sure
FA
Trading/Begin "season" 09/10 salaries

Like Bcortell said, I dunno 2010 contracts are now the expirings. Otherwise, we should simply start w/ rosters before the NBA trade deadline or even the season.

we have never used the real nba trade deadline like u guys are suggesting.

I didn't suggest using the NBA trade deadline? I said that there is always a deadline- a deadline that we make (usually once the game slows down significantly).

There's no way that we trade 08-09 salaries after the 09 draft. Do you guys not know how the NBA works?

I was thinking something along the lines of:

- Trading 08/09 contracts (roughly a week long?)
- 09 NBA Draft *switch to 09/10 contract
- 09 Free Agency
- 09/10 Trading Period

And from that point, we can decide upon the 2010 Free Agency Class and end the competition closely after that.

Count me on this one.

Wow, some of you are really being picky. This is not the NBA, why should we follow the rules the NBA has to the t? We haven't before so why start now?

Plus, I said we could do either. So I'm not sure why you're blowing up at me.

Thats basically what I proposed, so I'm in favor of it.

1 week is plenty pre draft trade time.

I would be up for scheduling time periods for each phaze right from the get so the game doesn't bog down again.

Agreed with TMac, maybe 2 weeks.

I'm not really in favor of having a 08-09 period, since there isn't one any more in real life. But I could go for it for a week or two pre-draft if that's the consensus. I'd really just prefer to get started.

BlackIce · Post #51 » by **BlackIce** » Tue Apr 7, 2009 10:10 pm

1 week starting today should suffice. I have plenty of expirings I can trade.

First off get your rosters up if you have not done so yet.

Next, there will be a trading period prior to the draft and 2008-2009 salaries will be used.

Also, I was hoping to wait until after April 27 (last day for underclassmen to declare) to perform the draft (3 weeks away), mainly since later on in the game if we plan to sim the 2009-2010 season, it would likely be on 2k10 and this way the draft picks that were picked in our 2009 draft would coincide with the real life picks; thus it would make for a lot more accurate sim. If you have a problem with this e-mail me about it skorf26@yahoo.com

I am going to send out an e-mail to any team's that still need a roster done up, and as soon as they are up; trading can begin (I'm hoping to open up trading tomorrow or maybe later tonight if a few more rosters go up).

Skroff, I think we should be allowed to sign people to extensions, have them all run through you of course. My point is, when there is a player who is a flight risk for the '10 FA period, and I acquire him in a trade, I wouldn't want to lose him because it would be more interesting for the game, when in real life he'd resign.

Does that make any sense? Like, if we have a player, have the money to extend him, and a great future for him, and it would be a no brainer in real life, then I think we should have the option of extending them.

Heres an example, obviously hypothetical. Lets say LeBron James is traded to the Magic where he is paired with Dwight Howard. The Magic have plenty of money to extend LeBron, and he is paired with Dwight so they are basically favorites every year. I think the GM should be allowed to extend him, it would be ridiculous for LeBron to still test the FA market solely to make the game interesting when one GM has done whatever to make a team that LeBron would for sure sign with. Make sense?

Almost done my roster, it'll be up 2night. 3 weeks is excessive, lets just do 1 week of trading and then draft. We have a pretty good idea of who is declaring for the draft (roughly).

I agree with Granger.

I'm going to agree with this. I'm trying to move some expirings that the other GM doesn't want to lose to free agency.

interesting and I also agree with that example, but I would say you can only extend people that have cantracts after 2009 (reaning do not kill the few FA's that are up now, or 2009 free agency will be super limited and boring

Agreed, and I'm not saying every player should automatically be extended, but when a team gets a guy through a trade, has the perfect home for him, and it makes sense, then let it happen.

Scroff can you let us know if this is possible? I'm hesitant to make any big trades with '10 FA's if I won't be able to extend them because "it would be better for the game if he was a FA" or something like that.

Alright it seems that several people would like this option. After the free agency period, there will be a week window where teams and players can negotiate contract extensions.
