GM A Team Winter 2010 - Free Agency

[TMACFORMVP]

Congrats on keeping LeBron, Wade, and Johnson guys. It sucks I wasn't even an option they considered though.

[roc]

Mos def congrats. I am not surprised they all resigned as the teams all finished pretty high in the draft rankings.

[bryant08]

Still plenty of prizes left on the FA market. I can't wait to get in on some underrated guys.

[SabasRevenge!]

Amare Stoudemire has reached an agreement with the Portland Trailblazers.

The deal is for max money/max years. With so many teams offering Amare max deals, we had to cave to his demands even though his agent was only requesting a 74/4 extension from the Suns last year.

Like many other deals in this FA we're overpaying for him, but we're also very happy to have him locked up in Portland for the rest of his prime.

Needless to say, Amare is also pleased to return to a contender and looks forward to the next several years in Portland with Brandon Roy.

[LeQuitterNotMVP]

How'd you guys all know about LeBron before I did lol?

Regardless, the Cleveland Cavaliers are proud to announce that we have come to terms on a 6-year max contract with the King of the NBA. LeBron is thrilled to be returning to play for his hometown ballclub and help them win a championship.

Not sure why Buike would not pick up his option after having been injured an entire year. I can understand why Frye didn't though.

Anyways, the Warriors will match any offer to Morrow (who can't be offered more than the MLE anyways).

[crazybranman360]

New orleanes matches, it sucks too overpay him but we can't afford to get worse

[Mascot]

The Next round of FA signings (which I will post) will be at 1 am est tonight.

[bringbackhoffa]

With Rudy Gay's offer getting matched the Hawks have decided to go a different route and welcome Josh Childress back to the NBA. We may have overpaid slightly but with many teams left with cap space after failing to land a top free agent we didnt want to risk losing our new Starting SG.

Terms of the contract were:

6.7M
7.2
7.83
8.23po

for a total of 4 years and 30M

Year Two: $1,512,000

'10-11 5,000,000
'11-12 5,525,000

Happy to have him be part of our core for years. Looking forward to him growing and getting better. Love my young core of Jennings, Morrow, Iggy, Beasley, Biedrins, and Motiejunas.

WOW! one of the 1st FA's to bolt and he takes a huge pay cut. He would have made more money keeping his current deal thn playing 2 years at vet min

[MJallday59]

The Orlando Magic are thrilled to welcome Ronnie Brewer to our team.

[lukekarts]

Any idea what's happening?

Mascot, have you got a huge backlog of mails?

I put in an offer well over 36 hours ago (04:19 EST, 12th March to be precise) and haven't heard anything

[Mascot]

doing up the list now, with the new additions from last night I have to check a lot of players over.

The Orlando Magic are thrilled to welcome Ronnie Brewer to our team.

Minnesota has not matched and was informed via email of the signing, approved

[TMACFORMVP]

The Bulls, and Manu Ginobili have agreed upon a three year deal worth 28.9 million.

Year One: $8,944,765
Year Two: $9,660,616
Year Three: $10,376,197

GM TMACFORMVP was available to comment. "We're excited to bring a true winner to the Bulls, and help us fill a void we were lacking. His veteran experience will serve well with our young players, and his ability to play on both ends will be the perfect compliment to Dwight on the inside. Ginobili is currently averaging 15/4/5 off the bench for the Spurs in only 27 minutes of play. If you look at his averages over the last eighteen games, Ginobili has been putting up nearly 19/5/6 on 47/40/88. He's playing at that level in which he was an All-NBA player, once again all those stats in under 30 minutes of play. He can shoot the three, one of the better slashers in the game, and an above average passer at the SG position. We're excited to bring him to Chicago."

[Snakebites]

$5 Mill
$5.4 Mill
