SSBA

I'm still wondering what happened to my offer for him? Since i'm litlle bit thin inside i could use him. I offered him a one year deal but he's still a free agent and now Raptors signed him. I would like to have him back if possible.


p.s. Is it possible for free agent not to accept any offer and just stays a free agent?

yes, that is possible. it doesn't mean that since they got an offer, they'd re-sign with you right away.

Not right away. But to not resign at all and stay a free agent!

yes that is possible. especially for a losing team. well, Nick collison signing says so. haha. just kidding ;)

I haven't seen any free agent NOT take an offer during the FA period but wait to become free agent, especially when his former team wants to sign him back. That would be the worst a player could do, since he loses the bird years and won't be eligible to anything other than min/MLE/LLE contracts for years ...

So if he didn't sign during FA period he has most likely not gotten an offer. Even if you only offer a 1yr minimum deal to Brand (which would be the most stupid thing to do when you have 3+ bird years on him and risk losing him for even an LLE offer) he should have accepted.

So either you offered LLE or MLE to him which was used for someone else. Or your roster was full. Or his offer wasn't put in.

I belive i offered him a max deal over one year. Just like i did with Turkoglu, Murray and Posey.

well, that would be unthinkable then.

I thought i found a possible solution, but i didn't.

I assumed that you might have had all 15 roster spots full before the Dirk/Gasol trades. But that's not possible, looking at the transaction log there is no way you had more than 12 guys on your roster at any time.

So there's no possible (logical) reason he didn't sign.

maybe you should check your offers? If it is true that you offered him a max 1 year deal he should have signed in a hurry. That is way too much for that guy :lmao:

Yeah, beats me too. Or the program made a mistake. I don't know.

Well talk to me about a trade then  :tup:

The offer was submitted.  And the "max" offer was about 60k more than the min offer he took from the Raptors.  I have seen players turn down offers before, especially what's essentially a minimum offer.  And no, you can't have him back.  He never signed with you.

didn´t the celtics trade brand for a second rounder?

wow, I wonder who retires as a King next year? do you guys want to make a guess?

ivan, max huh? hehe.

Whew, I was worried there for a 2nd I would be losing him, whihc would totally suck since I got to the FA pool first and had my choice.

But again, Kings, we can work something out for him.

I'll take a draft pick, which you are likely just gonna get a fictional player anyway ;)

Not that i care much, i was just being curious. It was a mistery to me.

And Raps, lol, you'll be very dissapointed. He's bum, i'll tell you that.

Oh and Celtics likes him soo much that he traded him for 2nd round pick.

A bum signed for the minimum who plays A- defense ;)

A bum who someone felt the need to start an entire thread about  :tup:

There are free agents with A- defense that no one wants every year.


Nah, as i just said, i was just being curious cause i haven't seen that before. FA rejects the offer (regardless of what kind a offer that was) and rather stays the free agent. It just doesn't make sense.

Oh Kings, where would we be with out you?


There are alot this year!


So you don't really care either way? Funny, since I got a different sense when I read your first post...



 :lol2:

Ha, yeah, not that i wouldn't mind him, i could use him somehow. But with Booth, Dirk, Gasol and Collison i don't think he'd see any minutes anyway. Actually i don't even know why i wrote that. Cause i was just being curious that's all.

You'll see what i'm talking about once the season starts. And i won't be suprised if you trade him for a 2nd rounder as well. :)

Sorry guys, check the season ending roster pages. Brand had 5 bird years, when I traded him on day 1 of last season (for FA pickup Parker Kidd) and still when the season finished.

There is NO way a 1yr max deal should have been anything less than 10.9 mio.



Unless the Kings cut him, which i find no evidence in the t-log for ...
:?:

Smells like a conspiracy!

Dirk is no PF/C, Booth is 500 years old,  and Gasol/Nick can break down any day. There is hardly a team in the league needing brand MORE than the Kings.

And I say it again, what a poor mistake giving Brand to this crappy little punk in the first place. I guess 27 other teams would have been glad to get him for free AND valued that. And NONE of these teams would NOT have resigned him ...
 :moon:

You just earned yourself a triple sweep.

yea i thought the same when i asked if brand wasn´t traded and the bird years should have been more than 3. But i guess even ivan didn´t know he had bird year rights on brand  :bash:

I know that Ivan could be so .... but if he entered "max" in the DB it shouldn't matter. After all, the new FA entry system was made specifically to take care of ignorants who still don't get the cap rules after 14 seasons here in SSBA ...
;-)

Yeah, he did have bird years.

That sucks, not sure why it wasn't entered correctly.

Oh well, at this point there's nothing that can be done.  Just like what happened with Shaq-gate, live moves on. 

Well, the Kings don't need him and trev values him.
So let's close the case since there are just happy campers around ...
 :cheers:

Sweet words won't save you from tripled sweep. Decision has been made and it can't be changed.

I might been wasting my time on alots of useless things, but checkin Quentin Brand's bird years is probably the last thing to do.  :lol:

Mildly disappointed ...

I was assuming the phrase "to take care of ignorants who still don't get the cap rules after 14 seasons here in SSBA ..." - which was aimed at no other than the joke of a KingsGM - alone warrants a quadruple sweep.

But I guess you take the safe road nowadays ...

Well, since you're good friend of mine, i can't sweep you all the way until the 2029 season. I'm a good person.

:lmao: :lol2: :lmao: :lol2:

BODS, PLEASE, CAN WE PUT UP A PANTHEON OF SSBA QUOTES.
THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST NOMINATION IN THE CATEGORY "Good luck, I'm sure you find another league"

You guys are too much.

I like the idea.

We could also name you a director of  the "true potential of 2nd rounders" department.

Your goign to play Dirk at PF?
Oh, happy days...  I tried that...  he could not play more then 30 mpg, due to foul trouble.
I think Dirk was the worst A defender in the history of SSBA.  But probably the best offensive player in SSBA history as well.

During my two Finals runs, Dirk was my PF and played a little at C.  He didn't do much at the SF position, because I had Dickau and Stojakovic.

I think in his old age, he started to shy away from contact.  When I played him at PF, he averaged about 30 mpg...  at center, about 26 mpg.

All this, my friends, while the real Dirkster finally starts to tear the NBA apart as well (forget about the last night, the matchup with Duncan was his coming out into NBA stardom).

Not if anyone ever doubted the positive effects of SSBA onto real life ...
