I agree that Wallace won't walk on $9.5M, but I do think many GMs would like him in play. He signed the deal because he knew there was a new CBA coming. With a $13M cap in this game, why would Deron move? A case can be made for Paul and Howard. My 2 cents.

The starting max for Deron (and Howard/Paul) is $16,000,00.

1-4 Year Players: $13,000,00
5-8 Year Players: $16,000,000
9+ Year Players: $18,000,000

I also have to admit I am shocked to see that so many people think he would opt out, I don't think he'll make anywhere near 9.5 million (or whatever he was owed), but I could be wrong.

Wallace is 29/30(?) Probably his last payday.

I am still deciding how to run Restricted Free agency, but it will be open Sunday in one form or another.

Looking for people to help with free agency. We won't be doing sign and trades this time around EXCEPT for Tier One restricted and unrestricted free agents....please note the changes listed, they essentially allow you to sign and trade your own player, but prevent other teams from signing your player with the intent to trade them:

If you sign a player that is not your own you must wait a week before they can be traded, if you resign your own player they may be traded immediately (which, in my eyes, is the same as a sign and trade).

Also, do you all want a panel for Howard, Williams and Paul, or for me to just handle it. I would need volunteers not in the running for these three free agents to be on the panel with me....I am looking for two volunteers.

What about Jason Maxiell and Anthony Paker? Will they opt out of their contract?

If you need another person on the panel for Tier One I can be on it.

I don't need anyone else for Tier One, but I could use help with any of the other tiers and restricted free agency. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are going to be really tough for me to get on the computer, much less run free agency....I could stretch Restriced free agency over that entire timeframe and get 1.5 on Monday, 2 on Friday and 3 on Saturday, but I think it would be better if I had some help. Also, trades have slowed to a standstill, so I think we should just end the game as soon as free agency is over.

I can help you with tier 2 since I don't want any of these players.
