1) If we are doin' trades before FA the players with exp contracts have very decreased value (Hibbert, Felton etc.), because the team has to re-sign them and re-signing is very tough! Especially UFA. You want to make a realistic offer and you lose your guy for nothing. To solve the problem we should include Extension Talks to the game. So that every team has the chance to talk with an agent about a contract. You make an offer, he says bla bla more money, more years, more options, the team is too bad bla bla, and you make a better offer, and than a final offer. This allows you to re-sign your guy before FA and increases the value to the standard.
2) If you sign a FA, you can't trade him the whole game. These one week, 4 days, 3 days, rules aren't effective. It's not realistic. You have a contending team, you want to re-sign your UFA, but an other team makes a better offer - ok cool. Accept that. I would also take more money. But the team just wants to use the capspace and get players. The GM waits a week and then he got the value for trades. It's so annoying, because if you re-think it, the player wouldn't sign with a team that wants to trade him.
Ok, just shoot me up with your opinions on that. Sorry for Grammar Errors, it's early in the morning here
