    Free agency can begin as soon as Wednesday of this week, and with luck, the season can begin as soon as Saturday. When is the best time to do free agency? It would be good to do this as soon as possible, because we haven't had activity for a while, but we also need a time that everyone could be here. Which is the best option?

    (All Times Central)

    Wednesday Night
    Thursday at 5 p.m. - 7 (before Rockets game)
    Thursday at 10 p.m. (after the Rockets game)
    Saturday during the day
    Saturday Night

    We've pretty much established that Friday is a bad day. And remember, we also need to do the draft Saturday too, so if you vote Saturday night, we'd have to do free agency and the draft all at once, and the season would be pushed back to Sunday if not later.

    Please vote asap, as we need to decide very soon so we can plan. Personally, I vote for Thursday at 5, so that haven can upload the new season Wednesday, and we can have a day to look at new ratings, finances, etc. before free agency. Waiting until Saturday would push the season back at least a day, and doing it after the game Thursday might last until very late.

    Please post your vote below, btw. I am not creating an actual poll, because we don't need to have the chance of people not in the league voting for the hell of it, and messing up the count. Post your vote below.

    Saturday is an impossibility for me, I shall be in Waco.

    I don't want to risk the free agency spilling over into te Rockets game by starting at 5.

    Given these choices, I would be only in favor of having free agency after the game on Thursday.

    Wednesday night would be best for me. I definitely could not make Thursday at 5, since I usually am at work later than that. The other times are OK.

    Any time Saturday would be good with Thursday night after 10 being the next best. After that, it could be tough for me to be there.

    I would prefer Wed. or Thurs, any time. But I can accomodate any of these times slots, I believe.

    I can't be here on Wednesday until most likely after 9:00. Thursday is definitely out for me. Saturday evening would be the best time for me but i could arrange to be here in the afternoon also. If we decide to do it on Thursday or earlier wednesday nite i could email my offers but i would definitely need the website update tomorrow so that i could evaluate who i want to go after.

    Unfortunately for DBC and DH ;), the date so far that has the least conflict for the majority of GMs is Wednesday. So Castor can make it, how does Wednesday at 9 sound?

    9 is okay with me.

    Cat:
    Do you know or does only haven know if I was able to re-sign my free agents that I made offers to?

    Only haven knows that until there is an update. BTW, in case you wanted to raise or decrease offers, listen to them, etc., see if you can come in the chat around 5 or so this afternoon... haven should be in there and you'd have a chance to ask him about the resignings.

    I won't be able to make it until 9:30 or so. Could we hold off until then? If not, I'll live.
