Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Announcement on page 87

[Strick]

It’s super early in trade season and some BIG moves have already been made. I can’t wait to see the rest unfold

[ezmoney707]

You can go over the cap to sign rookies like you can go 10% over the cap to sign FA's...that was a rule added years ago.

The problem is you can't extend those rookies over the cap so that could be an issue for him if he wants to extend his rookies for the cheapest price.

I stand corrected on that rule, but a team in his circumstance shouldn’t even be capped out/over the cap to sign a rookie.

But anywho lol

to be fair, I think this is the first year he owns his first pick so first year he will able to help his team via the draft. The team he took over had to be one of the worst (insert the cap gif).

He didn't do himself any favors with the exempt list...I don't think he took a year off JJ, Warren, or Cousins which he should have absolutely done (Bish mentioned multiple times if you don't PM him the contracts freeze)...that means another year on the books for those. That was a mistake.

Oh I know he inherited a bad situation , but that bad situation gone bad to bad.

You combine the NTC contracts,
the exempt deals, long term bad contracts, etc. and to make the move this offseason to take on a bad contract to move up one spot in a draft that doesn’t have a clear #1 is….yeah

There’s paths to dig yourself out of hole, just don’t think doubling down on poor decisions of your predecessor is the way to do it.

He has built up some decent draft capital in future years but the contract situation with the NTC is not great, so he's going to have to dig himself out of that hole. But I can't really knock the move up to #1 move...if you believe there is one guy and he's your guy I don't mind it. Just because you or I don't see a clear #1 doesn't mean there isn't.

My biggest issue is not knocking down a year from his exempt list guys...Warren would be a needed $65 expiring this year...that basically helps fund a early draft pick. But now he's not and on the books for another season after this one.

dagawd better have JJ Reddick coach his team as well with all the $$$ he's paying him on his exempt list.

Ight somebody explain to me what’s going on in Washington like I’m 5th grader

Is there a master plan I’m not seeing or his team the dumpster ground for bad contracts and low talent youth for the rest of the league

As presently presented he can’t even afford the salary for the 1st overall pick

These moves are head scratching and if no one else will say it publicly I will ….

We both have more trades coming. The trade we actually agreed upon hasn’t been completely posted yet… Bish probably wanted to get this into the world simply to get the draft started

“Wizards get:
1st overall pick
Moses Moody- $33/1 year
Bogdan Bogdanovich- $109/3 years
Total = $142
Suns get:
2nd overall pick
Kris Murray- $16/2(3) years
Seth Curry- $125/2 years
Total = $141”

My target was Keegan’s Twin

Seth is in another trade that involves pick swaps & Wiggins

yeah i was late on the exempt list thing. tried to hit bish up after the fact but it was understandably too late by then

[TerrenceClarke]

My man Strick trying to figure out what Im going to do tonight....

Spoiler:

[DaGawd]

Gotcha that makes the deal a bit better since he’s getting off that Curry contract, understandable

that was "sarr" funny wasn't it!

[Manhattan Project]

Man GM's here don't give a F about franchise talents

Imagine in the NBA you see all these franchise talents get dealt year after year. That Piston lineup is crazy, it definitely needs some shooting so it'll be interesting to see how the team gets rounded out.

[Manhattan Project]

not a lot of buzz because I think we are waiting on a lot of those big trades to drop but the draft starts tonight...even though it doesn't have any marque type players there are always good players in every draft just might have to do a little more digging this year.

This is one of those drafts that it all depends on where some guys land, there's eight guys I really like in the lottery that could really crave out a nice niche in the league. I'm just praying sim wise Edey doesn't become the new OKC version of Allen

So does this Mean Giannis is already on the move after just one year?

[TerrenceClarke]

So is Context is trying to stop 2010 come up?

Did he Say not so fast Mr 2010 secretly?

[El Poochio]

Jevon Carter available for 2 future 2nds, had 83 FG3 and 68 DEF in the sim last year. Shot %46 from 3

[2010]

So is Context is trying to stop 2010 come up?

Did he Say not so fast Mr 2010 secretly?

In the spirit of competition I love it!

I have no intel/insight but it appears he has:

PG: Doncic | X
SG: X | X
SF: Barnes | McDaniels | O’Neal
PF: Davis | Portis
C: Lively | Portis

With a lot of money still to play with… and I’m sure there are more announcements coming for Detroit.

[MrDollarBills]

I literally have no idea where Chris Paul is. I've already got my return for him though

I mean, I figured you would.

All I know is I got Cole Anthony in a 4 team deal and the team he was originally on wasn't in the deal

I was so confused when I saw that but I figured I should just shut up
