Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 14, 2005, 12:00:09 AM I noticed an issue in last year's free agency process I would like to discuss...
A couple teams last year waited until the deadline to submit their free agency information. That is not an issue, but the reason they waited util the deadline was... It appeared teams were waiting to see who came available in free agency, and deciding their own free agent decisions based upon what players hit the market. It seems like this give an advantage to teams that delay their free agency decision. A possibility would be to post all free agent decisions only once all teams had made up their minds... I do not know if anyone else noticed this, or anyone even cares but me... Just thought I would bring it up. Title: Free Agency Issue..

Delay on resignings is what I mean. Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: MavsGM on August 14, 2005, 08:49:42 PM Darn it, I was going to do it this year but now... :?

Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: PacersGM on August 15, 2005, 02:17:43 AM there is no real sense in it since most teams will anounce asap that they are going to resign their star player if possible.

And I get the feeling that may happen more this year then in year's past (considering the talent of the free agent class) Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: BullsGM-old on August 15, 2005, 04:48:42 PM So FA decisions won't be announced now?
Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: NetsGM on August 15, 2005, 04:52:08 PM Not until all are in, no (or until the deadline comes, whichever's earliest).

Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 15, 2005, 10:40:26 PM Well, last year, I did notice about 3-4 GM's holding out on their decisions, waiting to see if Carmello signed...
Gives everyone the same chance, makes decisions on resigning a little harder, and does not penalize the GM's who make their decisions first. Of course, there is nothing stopping anyone from asking about players :D And if you wish to publicize the players you have signed, please do... I am just hoping more players will hit the free agent market, if some of the resignings are shrouded in a bit of mystery.... Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 17, 2005, 04:22:30 PM Might as well post the free decisions...
The positive decisions are on the team pages as accepted anyway, it just makes it a bit harder to find out who has signed and who has not... Title: Free Agency Issue.. Post by: NetsGM on August 17, 2005, 05:37:55 PM Haha, yes, I messed up.
I didn't want to upload the team rosters last night. I accidentally messed up and overwrote the old files. I was hoping nobody would notice. it will not happen again until FA is over. |
