i know why. mpharris, you gave me your 9 man rotation, but i only have 11 guys on your roster. let me look at team page

If you using 2k 20 you probably don't have my rookies

Kind of an unfair advantage giving the Spurs players the power of invisibility

Yeah I like the system too but didn’t like the fact bird right players numbers were hidden.

[br7knicks]

so, i legit didn't know this was a thing.

on twitch, clicked on "sports" category. found the "exotic pole dancing championship" taking place right now. two things:

1. this isn't much different than floor routines in the olympics. add this, and viewership will skyrocket.
2. enjoy the game, everyone. i'll be around

[br7knicks]

mpharris vs buzzard

[br7knicks]

gonna give my computer a break for now.

i can jump back on around 730ish. if you'd like your team simmed, quote me, or PM me your roster. tell me if you have a specific team you'd like to run against.

The Chicago Bulls have officially resigned Montrezl Harrell for $65/3 years.

I like this deal.

[2010]

I did like this system, I think having to be within $10 of the next bid to even get feedback on what it would take to beat an offer pushed you to be a bit more aggressive with your earlier offers on players you were keen on. I think after the initial first PM you kind of got a good sense of who will be attainable and who you should just move on from.

One thing which caught me by surprise as it was not the case last year was that dollar values for bird right free agents and cap space remaining for those teams signing bird right free agents was unknown. Caused a bit of a deviation as those teams knew other teams cap space availability while teams such as myself who had their cap space visible were operating blindly when you knew you were likely going up against one of those teams for a certain free agent but could not determine what their max bid was while they knew your max bid.

I liked making the bird rights FA team’s salary info confidential. Stops others from being able to use their salary info as a means to figure out how much funds they have left, to then bid up their guys and increase the Loki hood of taking their players.

Stop counting other people’s money!

The Houston Rockets have waived Willie Hernangomez.

[2010]

Now that we are through the first week of FA, a couple of thoughts:

2020 FA week 1

90 total players signed
$8982 total spent
$100 average per player, as


2021 FA week 1

82 total players signed
$6481 total spent
$79 average per player


Couple of things in my opinion are the reason for the differences. First off, Booker was signed for $2590 by himself last year. Take away the top two players by year (Booker in 2020 and Siakam's $1000 in 2021) and the numbers are incredibly similar. Taking those two players away you have an average of $72 spent in 2020 compared to $68 in 2021. So, as far as money spent, the main difference between this year and last year was that the top overall FA last year was much more desirable and therefore got paid substantially more bringing up the average money for the entire FA class.

In general, I think that the two classes of FA were similar outside of Booker which is why the numbers are close. Other reasons IMO why the numbers were slightly down were the number of one year deals handed out this year in anticipation of the reset next offseason. This season, 34% of all FA deals were one year deals compared to only 26% of last seasons deals. Of those one year deals, only two last year were for $50+ (Wall and T. Young). This year there were six $50+ deals of one year (Wall and T. Young again, plus Griffin, Howard, Gafford and Hardaway). So overall, even though the FA classes were overall fairly similar other than the very top player, the teams seemed to be a bit more cautious in committing long term money considering next years FA class.

So, my overall question is, how did people view the new FA system? I have my own thoughts on it that I will share later but wanted to hear other peoples thoughts first.

I co-sign every element of this new system. It far exceeded my expectations. Hope it’s here to stay. But curious to hear your feedback on it, since you are the engine driving this whole thing. As long as it’s feasible for you next year.

The Houston Rockets have agreed to sign Kevin Love for $200/1 year.

[NewEra]

Every player needs Kevin Love’s agent!

I'll be out driving my son back to school for the next 5-6 hours so I won't be able to get to any moves that happen at least until I get to his college around 3PM. There are no current bids on the clock for the first time since this time last week.

When I get home tonight I will give my thoughts on the FA process and how we can move forward. Also been talking to melo about setting up another 2k bubble tourney to kill some time over the next 10 weeks or so before our season will begin. Will have a bit more to say about that too when I get back to my laptop tonight.

[2010]

One more thing. I’m no longer in favor of anything public. Keeping FA private is a must. Bish was right, there’s just something about the drama and suspense in these bidding wars that has you waiting to find out who the GM is that eventually wins the bid on the player.
