Yeah, but I gave him a bigger offer than Ducky. 5 years/48 million or 1 year/12.5 million? Any player with a brain would take the first offer. If a bad team, in real life offers a player a 1 year max and this player knows he's going to get plenty of playing time and probably get any contract he wants next free agency, how unrealistic is that? I don't it's unrealistic a player would choose a contract like this, it IS unrealistic a team would offer something like that though, I think it's fairly unrealistic both ways. I don't think many players would leave a 57 win team offering them 48 million dollars for a mediocre team offering a one year deal. What if that player would shatter his knee next season? His career would be left with no stability. He would've passed on a big five year contract that would've secured him for life.

My finance class got out 20 minutes early, again. I didn't pay attention is that excuse for offering Ivan the worst contract in FBB history?

I think another underlying theme here is the FBB was not developed to mirror real life. After all, it is only a computer program. So many things happen in FBB that could never be explained in real life. I think the one year max is just another aspect of the game you have to be prepared for.

Yeah, but flaws in a computer program can be corrected, or at least controlled, by people.

It is not utterly absurd that somone would accept a one year max in real life.

It is not utterly absurd that somone would accept a one year max in real life. No player would pass on a good, long-term contract with a winning team for a deal like this. Plus, like Marty said, no team would actually offer something like this. The NBA Player's Association would slaughter someone that passed on a long-term deal like this.

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. 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 mean Herb Pope? He averaged 18ppg and 11rpg for me last season. Don't see how that's unlrealistic to give hima 13mil /1year deal..

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. It is pretty stupid, but then why don't you offer him a 1 year deal? haha But at the same time, I don't think it's terribly unrealistic. Maybe Sven wants to sign 1 year max deals until he gets like a 4-5year max offer. Had you offered like a MAX deal with more than 1 year and then he still signed with me, then you'd have a legit argument to be pissed.

Had you offered like a MAX deal with more than 1 year and then he still signed with me, then you'd have a legit argument to be pissed. Yeah, because that's realistic. It is absolutely terribly unrealistic. What if he gets injured? What if his play declines next season and nobody wants him? You can't just take the approach of getting guaranteed one-year max offers for 4-5 years. It just doesn't happen. That's why players always look toward the security of a multi-year deal.

Although MLB is very different with contracts, this example is still similar: Manny turning down 25 Mil for 1 Year

I'm just saying, maybe he thinks he could get a bigger offer after a year with Denver. Maybe he thinks he could get a multi year max offer next FA? Although it's still unlikely, it could happen. Anyway, I don't really care. You know what FBB is like and you know how I bid, so whatever. I got 5 badass SFs right now, that's for sure.

It's just a cheap way around a flaw in the game. It's all good. I prefer not to take advantage of it.

I'm still pissed Baron left me back in 04. So I offered more money and had just won the finals, but nah, go sign with Cleveland for less money and an awful team. Makes sense! He hated Kobe.
Got Dyson back.
