Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Utah is now on the clock until 2PM

[Context]

"I had to suffer so you should too" is the wrong prism of thought

I didnt "suffer" I went to work!

What work could I have gone to with this roster? There was no asset or capital on my roster, 5 years into the sim.

which season and which month did you come in?

[Mecca]

My vote stands as no if (any player contract) can be amnesty.

But would vote yes if the rule was changed to require the player being amnesty to have more than a year left on their contract.

I'd be fine with this as well. Basically fine with anything that just gives someone that was given a bad hand, a chance to clear the deck without having to wait 5 full years.

I don't have it documented, but I also am basically a new GM, as I haven't made any moves or picks.. mostly because I don't have a single asset that anyone was willing to take. And believe me when I say I tried.

you have been here for atleast 3 seasons and you consider yourself a "new" gm?

1 full season & have had zero capital or free agency money up until this point and no one willing to take on ant of my players for anything.

[Mecca]

Willing to change rule to:

- Can clip one year off their contract
- Can only be used if contract 2+ years

- Instead of amnestied, can stretch contract like old NBA CBA had, but only paying 80% of total contract, so I'd pay Smart $40 for the next 4 years, rather than 190 next year

[Fat]

Would add to the rule that the team that amnesty the player shouldn’t have access to that player in free agency. They would have to reacquire them through trade

Just because the players contract is overpaid doesn’t mean the player isn’t good. You can’t give the GM’s leverage to offer him another contract for cheaper the price after you’ve just acquired the money from the amnesty

LATEST ROTATION

[Context]

well...for me - I think more than enough has been said...I will be waiting to see what the remaining GM's think...enjoy your day Baf...

[bringbackhoffa]

I'm out

Wouldn't be the first time...

Kind of ironic for someone that has already previously quit talking about the health of the league..

[SOUL]

To be fair that's a hard situation to deal from. No capital to get off of bad contracts and can't receive much value either.

I'm getting no bites to clear off $30 bucks from solid young guys with people with a lot of money so

Had to put my career first & thankfully that worked out

The mental gymnastics to justify calling yourself a new GM by saying because you were inactive and didn't make any moves qualifies you is silly. It's outright saying that because other new GMs were active and maybe had to do unfavorable moves to get rid of bad contracts they inherited they get screwed but because you decided this grand plan to fix the team you took over was to wait, inactively and try and propose a rule to allow you to amnesty a bad contract, while claiming it's about the health of the game, and saying that others are looking at it the rule way while also being unwilling to have this rule not apply to you and only to apply to BB and going forward shows that this is a self serving rule proposal and so transparent.

This what no one's realizing bro. Not a single trade-able asset or pick when I joined

No one was inactive. I didn't have a tradable asset.

[3toheadmelo]

It’s definitely possible to move off bad contracts. Ask about me for DSJ and Josh Jackson lol

[Mecca]

I'm straight up saying I'll accept making it that you can just clip a year from the deal and still have to cut him or just stretch the deal.

The way this is set up is not fair

What if we just grandfathered everybody into the "you can void 1 year of a deal but you have to cut the player" deal?

And then going forward, every new GM gets full amnesty rights.

You had assets to give and they were young
