Title: Re-signing players Post by: ClippersGM-old on July 18, 2005, 06:58:28 AM I believe Gordon will make an offer at the end of the season to stay with the Clippers. But just in case... I have this question about what I can offer him.
This is in the rules page: For Teams Over The Cap: [return to top] If you are re-signing your own player (with 3+ bird years): Max Length: 7 years Max Raises: 12.5% of first years salary Max Starting Salary: League Maximum or 120% of his prior years salary, whichever is greater. You may also offer them the MLE or LLE. Check table below based on experience Gordon has 3 bird years. Does that mean I can offer him a contract starting at 10,950,000 eventhough I am way over the cap? Title: Re-signing players Post by: KingsGM-old on July 18, 2005, 07:07:41 AM I belive you can.

And since you cannot offer him more than the league maximum your only advantage (to a team with enough cap room for a max deal) is the higher yearly incease and the extra 7th contract year.

Ok, thanks! Another advantage is that Gordon has 91 loyalty. But I guess what you wrote does not count for players with less than 3 bird years. Is that right? Being over the cap and trying to re-sign a player with less than 3 bird years is really hard I think.

It is indeed - and it's inofficially called the "Bird-problem" since all 2nd round picks are among those :-) Title: Re-signing players Post by: NetsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:31:30 AM Gordon will actually have 4 bird years by the time free agency gets here.
But yes, you can offer him a contract starting at 10.95 million with 12.5% increases. If he only had 2 bird years you would be limited to 120% of his prior years salary or using an exception. Title: Re-signing players Post by: ClippersGM-old on July 18, 2005, 09:34:50 AM Thanks for all the explanation!
However I doubt this will be nessecary for Gordon. He will probably make an offer himself. |
