    Free Agency is next on the FBB schedule. I will post the rules again from a previous post by bgm:

    Also, if one of your former players is currently a free agent, and you feel it is a player worth the max, you can bid the max salary REGARDLESS or your cap sitution...or anything with the max starting salary for the first year. Just give me the starting salary, the # of years (you can go up to 7), and the increase % (you can go as high as 12.5% if it is a former player of yours)

    Or, if this former player is a star, and you want to offer the max salary, %, years, just tell me MAX.

    I've noticed for some of the players, the max that the former team can offer for the first year of the contract is more than the max the other teams with enough room can offer for the first year.

    If one of your former players is a FA, and you wish to try to get them, but they are not worthy of the max, ask me about them, and I will tell you what the most you are allowed to offer is (assuming you don't have more cap room already )

    If you are bidding on someone that isn't a former player of yours, if you have the cap room, you can go up to the max initial salary, but the max # of years is 6, and the max % increase is 10%.

    If it is a star and you wish to offer the max possible, you can also tell me MAX on them, it just won't be quite as big a deal as the former team can offer.

    Also, if you are wondering what the first year max that your team can offer on specific players, just ask.

    I will sim the first 2 of the 5 free agency days on Thursday at 8:00 PM central. So start emailing in those bids to SteveFrancis0003@yahoo.com

    Thanks

    Also, it turned out a few teams have too many players, and a few had to drop their 2nd round picks because of a full roster. Some teams also may have 13 or 14, meaning they might want to cut a player or two if they are looking to get multiple guys in FA.

    Haha. Does she think you'll be "petting the one eyed-snake" or something?

    No but if I don't have a good excuse I will have to put my 1 year old in the room with me and he likes to type stuff on the keyboard.

    Also, since I am seeing everyone else's bids now, I felt everyone should be able to see mine. So my bids...nothing fancy for rounds 1 and 2.. just Max that I can offer to O'neal, Marion, Terry, Payton, Mourning, Maggette... that is all.

    Well, pretty much everyone was in chat, and we ended up doing all days. Site updating. Signings can be seen in Transaction page if you missed live FA. Training camp was done to, really nothing to it, just ratings occasionally change then..
