WOW, huge shakeup in the league.

What's the 1 year max for Batum and Rondo?
I didn't think we were allowed to do 1 year max's on a player under 29. But isn't $10million a max for those years of experience?

[bellsduck]

I cannot believe I was outbid for Michael Redd.
I didn't get one trade offer for him last year when I was trying to trade him, so didn't think the interest would be that high for a bad defender.

[FlDuckFan]

Didn't sign anyone but there's still a few good guys out there.

Can't believe you stole Traylor from me, very underrated guy

Seriously was a terrible Free Agency. I was praying I would have a chance at Bosh. Only offered him a 3 tear max cause of his age and wouldn't have cap space next year with Hawes and Belinelli.

I've always been a fan of Redd's scoring.

I feel like Redd, Curry and Hawes can hopeful contend. Just need to bring in a few more pieces.

9.5 should be max I believe. I think the contract should be voided.

You are right, I forgot about the max for players under 29.

9.5 should be max I believe. I think the contract should be voided.

If I resubmitted their bids at 9.5 they would be re-accepted b/c the offers for the other GM's do not come close to 9.5. Pulling back the curtain, I was the 2nd highest bidder on both players and it was a sizeable gap. There was then a gap between me and the 3rd highest.

10 million is max for 0-6 years experience, but players under 29 require a minimum of 3 years commitment for a max.

The problem is if we void them at this point then no teams have any money left to make anywhere near a competitive bid. The fact that these are 1 year deals are less hurtful in the long run I guess, but I think there should be some penalty. For instance, next year I don't think the Bucks should be able to offer the 10% or 20% extra on these two players for a long-term deal that they normally would be able to since they're on the roster.
