i dont see what the big deal is, he was a minimum player....
minimum players in real life sign with like 10 different teams during the season
example = shaun livingston
anyways, that trade came up, i wanted josh powell for my depth, but this deal came kinda out of no where.
ness, it has nothing to do with your deal, just the priciple. In real life, newly signed FA's can not be moved till December. This is still the offseason (about 1st week of August with our sped up timetable)
Powell is not like Livingston because livingston was on unguaranteed and 10 day contracts, Powwell signed a guaranteed contract (in real life he would not be tradeable till Dec). These deals happen all the time in these games (hell i am in the process of doing it myself). It is just something I personally would like inforced. I suggested it last game and everyone was on board then once FA started commish changed his mind and allowed trades.
I made an offer to GS, so I am just as guilty, but the fact that Tyson Chandler signed a MLE deal with GS then was traded less then 24 hours later should be against the rules since it is basically a S&T. It was noyt intended to be, but as it turned out GS sined him for Miami. I am not calling anyone out since I know that was not what happened, but that is what it ended up being. Just something to consider for future games. Again, this was not ment as a shot at mj or AITN because I know it was not done to work around the rule because like I said I was in talks with mj for a deal
