Fucking awesome. I need TC NOW WOOOOO
We got Bass back. Nice. I really wanted this year with him to see a) his TC and b) his production in a better lineup. I figure we're going to improve a lot in TC, and maybe he can be a better contributor in a more structured DC. I like Gai but he's a backup. My FA period couldn't have gone better. Maybe I'm over the HC though. Let me look.

Also, looking over FA, maybe it's time to make a rule about one-year deals. This is kinda weird.

Sick, got Lamar back. That's a little more than I wanted to give him (my initial offer was at 10.5 for 1 year) but after day 1 of FA, I decided to up it a bit and guarantee getting him back. As of now I'm going to run with the some SL as last season: Baron-Redd-Odom-Brand-Oden, with Thornton as a supersub. I have a few moves I'm working on to really shake this team up though, so we'll see how that goes.
I'm a few million under the HC, so I have a little room to maneuver.

Good signings for us. Got a solid big man in the snake. Also got two potential guys, one with B, the other with A. Maybe they will amount to something.

No, deals like Akyol's, Dixon's, Blatche's and a ton others are just a matter of overpaying a guy because one year doesn't burden you. It's not a realistic contract offer. They should get those amounts over three years. The turnover every year between teams isn't realistic because so many guys are just overpaid year after year and thrown from team to team. Or, it's also silly for them to re-sign for so much, because no team with cap space should be offering those guys that much money, but the team that has their birds can just steal them back by offering a ton more than they deserve and only having to pay them for that season. None of those contracts are realistic, really. MLE guys, sure, but overpaying guys just because you had them or because it's just one year in order to steal them kind of sucks. I did it with Bass, and I know why a team would want to, but I think we should have a rule in which any player under age 35 offered X million must be offered a contract for more than one season. The idea of signing guys as filler or just overpaying to have them since it's just one season kinda sucks.

I don't mind signing olders players to those type of deals, but signing a guy coming off his rookie contract to a big 1-year deal to ensure that he comes back to his previous team is really unrealistic

I don't really mind the deals, but to look at the middle period of FA and see nobody is actually landing long-term additions, well, it's very much bizarre.

Im not against change, but then again I dont want to implement a ton of restrictions. Added rules are overrated. the more complex things are the less fun it is. Shit, I still get a handful of questions each year that IMO are either completely common sense, or could be found by looking at the rules page. I dont want to add rules that make things more confusing for people.
Realism is great, but not at the cost of relative ease.

Akyol got a big one year deal after his contract expired, and since then has been getting those big deals

Nice 2/3 for us after losing Rip on Day 1. Got Lee back at a reasonable contract, so that should give him some trade value. Also got Jason Terry with my MLE. If we can just shore up our depth a little bit with a LLE and some minimum bids, we may be able to contend and get to 40 wins again this year. But I at least have my pick if I decide to rebuild if things don't go well to start with.

IDK, it seems like tanking teams sign him every year with the hope he'll explode. I dont think its a reason to start changing rules.
