As soon as I saw that Ducky signed him I knew you'd be pissed. It is a fatal flaw in the game, but maybe we can start a discussion on it and try and fix it. This has happened in the past though too. All of a sudden it's a big issue lol I think we should always strive for rules that are the best around. This is an issue in every league but no league has ever made a rule that truly made 100% sense IMO. Why not strive to make a rule that gets copied by other leagues in the future?

The Westbrook signing is by far the worst in my opinion. He is terrible. And youd trade Ivan for him right now, lol.

It already fucked me over so I don't particularly care. I've just always hated this aspect of FBB. Not real sure what to do about it. It just makes me mad at sims. My FA luck continues yet again. It'll never cease to amaze me. Fucking gay game. As soon as I saw that Ducky signed him I knew you'd be pissed. It is a fatal flaw in the game, but maybe we can start a discussion on it and try and fix it. Yeah, it's really stupid. My contract would've probably amounted to something like 60 million over 5 years. I'm too lazy to actually figure it out, but still. A contract like that >>>>> a shitty one year fucking deal.

I don't mind a semi-competitive team like duck's doing this sort of thing but for example C.C. last free agency and Diop. He spent like 13 mill on a guy he had zero need for... that's unrealistic. You cant trade FA signings from other teams until after the AS Break? I mean who signs a huge contract with a new team and then gets traded right away? Never happens. I think something similar to this can work... For example some variation of any person signed to a non-MLE, LLE, or min 1 year deal can not be traded for that entire season? Or something like that.

I just don't see how it is fair to say player A can be offered a 1 year deal, but player B cant, and I wouldn't want to eliminate 1 yr deals all together. I know there are rules in other leagues that state a player under a certain age cant be offered one year deals, I just don't think it makes sense. If anyone is wound up enough to start a poll about it Id consider changing the rule though. It's just completely unrealistic and exposes part of the idiocy of FBB. A 25-year old player would accept a large, financially competitive deal that'd keep him paid until he was 30. Especially when he was on one of the top teams in the league. Making a large one-year deal like that is just an easy, lazy, cheap way to acquire a player. It's unrealistic and unfair to someone in my situation looking to sign him to a long-term deal. It it completely unrealistic? Yeah. But I think it's unfair of you to blame ducky for capitalizing on an opportunity... it's the whole point of cap space. Most of the time you're not going to get an absolute stud, but guys like Sven are available, and it was smart of him to recognize that you weren't going to be able to offer max money. Ducky is an idiot for offering him only 1 year though. Sven's 25 and might still improve a bit.

Not saying it would or wouldn't have had, but I don't mind someone like Ducky with some talent on his team signing Svenn then someone like Boston last year signing Diop.

You can see how he progresses and then decide if he deserves more cash in the future.

Ducky is an idiot for offering him only 1 year though. Sven's 25 and might still improve a bit. I'm not blaming Ducky. I'm blaming FBB for being incredibly flawed. It just sucks because I lose a solid player when I gave him probably the best contract he had offered to him. On top of that, it was for a one-year deal that a team in my situation couldn't compete with. I was willing to take the chance on giving him a long-term deal. It's unfair that teams willing to do so are punished because they don't choose to offer him a cop-out deal.

We had a conversation about this a while back and I think the general consensus was that you should be able to use your cap the way you want to. FA is about taking chances and Maniac took a chance not offering him a max for certain number of years. Not saying Sven is worth a max, but that's what it would have taken to get him back.

You can see how he progresses and then decide if he deserves more cash in the future. See, that's exactly why I hate the 1-year deal. It's a pussy way of offering for a player. If they are your own player, sure, signing them to a one-year deal each season is fine. However, stealing other people's players because the game is flawed and you don't want a long term contract is just dumb.
