NBA Forum Mock:Free Agency

[SeanTaylorRIP]

The first part of the NBA Forum mock is now beginning the Free Agency stage. Here you will find the Free Agents list:http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2654216. Look there to see your free agents and other teams free agents. Restricted Free Agents mean that you have the right to match any offer another team makes. You have unlimited money to resign your players but I and help from another member will determine if you get that player, so obviously we will not allow Vince Carter or Chauncey Billups to be resigned as we will allow them to go into the Free Agent Market.This is the resigning period only so do not send me free agent signing offers yet, once we are done with the resigning period(Saturday Afternoon) then I will be able to give you the full free agents list
Email me all of your resignings at ghsermon@hotmail.com, along with a description of why you think your player will be resigned and to what length and amount of money, offer a realistic contract or I will reject it.
*As of now these are the only teams I anticipate being under the cap to sign players to max contracts depending on who they resign, everyone else will only have the Mid Level Exception to use and will not be able to sign guys like Rashard Lewis or Vince Carter:
-Charlotte
-Atlanta
-Chicago
-Toronto
-New Orleans
-Seattle

To view your cap if you resign no one look here:

How are we going to handle Team Options, and Player Options?

[D-Unit]

Hey Serm,
I think you're missing Orlando.

They are projected to be at 35M after the season.

[WMD]

I thought Milwaukee was supposed to be pretty good under the cap as well.. maybe I was mistaken.

[Big Mike]

i thought GSW was

Yeah Orlando is under for sure because of Grant Hill but I will post all the numbers after the resigning is done because you could be projected to be under the cap but if you resign a player to a big contract you no longer will, I will sort it out after the resigning period, use:http://www.hoopshype.com/salaries.htm to see where you are if you don't resign anyone.

HOW THE HELL DOES JEROME WILLIAMS MAKE 6.5 M

Because he's on the Knicks...

[Eaglez.Fan]

Hmm... I expected more cap room for Philly, with Webber gone, and Mashburn, Smith, and MacCulloch expiring with thme all making over 6 mil.

[ncst8fan83]

I want to move up from #6. Sign and trade with Rashard Lewis, 6th, 31st, and 36th are up for grabs. Give me your proposals!!

[cardsalltheway]

The Pacers are in desperate need of a first rounder. Anyone not named Danny Granger can go.

[Bearsfan123]

Miami is looking to cut salaries. Anyone not named D-Wade can be traded for.

[WMD]

Detroit is open to anything. We have two First Round picks. Sign and Trades (if we're doing them) for Chauncey Billups will be considered, but we have all intentions of re-signing him.

Are we going to keep this realistic or are people going to trade their stars and all that?

[TH3]

I would rather keep is realistic ,but if we going to go crazy I am have no problem palying the game that way either.

so obviously we will not allow Vince Carter or Chauncey Billups to be resigned as we will allow them to go into the Free Agent Market

Guess not.

As long as GS lays down the law we should be fine.... but realisticly from past NBA mocks and such the record shows things have gotten out of hand myself included.

[D-Unit]

I'm keepin' it real. Jameer Nelson can be had. ...as well as anyone else other than Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, JJ Redick, Darko Milicic, and Hedo Turkoglu.

Otis Smith has been open about wanting to trade Nelson and adding someone with more leadership to the team. Billups' name has been in the rumors, but I'm not so sure of it. I definately want to trade Jameer.

[thetedginnshow]

Trailblazers are looking to shop Zach Randolph, as well as a possible sign+trade for Magloire.

[P-L]

Ghetto, you told me in the mod forum that I could be Memphis. But you have princefielder28 listed as both the Cavs and the Grizz. Can we get some clarification?
