I've run into a problem using a salary cap. With free agents, what do we do? Do we use their 2010-11 salary, or try to guess what their new salary will be? For example, Deandre Jordan's qualifying offer is just over 1 mil, but we all know he will be paid at least 6 mil. Should his salary cap number be 1, 6, 7, 8, etc?
This damn lockout is ruining the salary cap for this draft Screw it, if we're using 10-11 stats, might as well use 10-11 salary. Now we gotta wait til the final members only vote count for the salary cap.
Yeah, you click on the number of votes to see. It says 3 to 2 right now, but it's really 2 to 2. The 3rd vote must've been a visitor.
If we don't use salary caps, there's no new worthwhile dynamic to this exercise. its essentially the same thing we just did. and even though that was fun, i have no interest in doing it again.
Um.. so I take it no one cares about the teams they just put together? With all the problems in the last draft.... (2 for 1 trade are you freaking kidding me?) you really expect a cap to work? this could get too complicated for some. Just have to be honest.
how is it complicated? we know what the salary cap is. just keep a running total of the salaries of the team you're building. if you're getting close to the salary cap, then you'll have to pick up players for the vet min the rest of the way. i cared about the team i just built. i put a lot of thought into it, and i honestly think that i built the best overall team despite starting out with the biggest disadvantage. but people are taking advantage of the anonymity and voting based on the person instead of the caliber of the team.
I appreciate your opinion and your honesty, but the draft we just did is getting out of hand. There's a few people who might get eliminated due to confusion or cheating. The salary cap will be 75 million, using hoopshype's salary listings. I'll post a link to the salary page in my original post.
What??? Please explain why your team would have a chance against mine. There is just way too much complaining and delusional thinking for me to not reasonably assume this will be a failure. You all want to redo something because it didn't come out exactly the way you wanted? The prospect of a team being better than yours is too much to handle? I'm sorry but I'm out. Find someone else to take my spot. I can't take the whining anymore. Christ are you people serious?
I hate to skip Ubigman since he has the 1st pick in the draft, but he has about 10 more minutes before it hits 3 hours. I emailed him through the board around 11 also.
We're not all whining, we thought it was fun and wanna do it again. If you wanna give your spot away that's fine, but please don't think 15 of us are drowning in our own sorrow because our original teams weren't good enough.
I was gonna give it the full 24 hours to see the results. Having a salary cap or not shouldn't affect the 1st round. The star players are gonna get picked up no matter what. I really want the cap, but I know it will cause confusion. The extra challenge of building a real team and being under a real cap makes it more fun, but everyone seems split about this.
