FA day 2 will be Monday around noon
(in all fairness, just want to make sure nobody misses a day of FA because of weekend plans ... and the 4 day delay of day 1 made it pretty impossible for most guys to find out when something is going to happen)

Natt is back, but we need more!

note:

upon removing the signed FAs from th list i realized two errors:

First I removed Marcus Williams, the SF, from the list. My bad, only Marcus Williams the PG had been signed.
Then I realized I made a mistake on the Raptors signing of O'Neal. He thus was put back into the FA pool. And the Raptors have their cap space back.

You need to put in a "custom FA offer" for these two if you want to bid on them
(as well as for anyone else who was cut since the draft, those are NOT automatically added to the bidding list ... but that we all know already ...)

Big, big FA for the Celts.  They get a former All-League player in Larry Johnson and a good pg in Kenny Anderson...I'm happy about getting Reggie Miller.  He will start and should free up a little space for Hakeem to work inside.

This is almost surreal....thanks, Tom. A lot of work FA is.

Happy to get Byron back and Kevin. My backcourt D is right where I want it. Still have the MLE to use and still plenty of talent on the board.

Also happy to see some player movement, should help out with balance in the L.

Big day for the Celts indeed -quite the impressive one-day FA haul. Don't know if I can recall one team scoring two premium FA's on the same day before in my sim experience. Congrats.

Meh, another bad FA. Ill never clear cap for FA ever again.

Boy, am I glad to have had traded for the Celtics pick last season and not this season..


Marcus Williams could quite possibly be the future backup PG of my team, really thrilled to have him here.

I'm glad Ralph Sampson is already 33. Coz him going back to the East means more frontcourt problems for my team. I wish I can play all my frontcourt players, 7 in total, at the same time. :(

Premiere? I conisder both 2nd tier FAs, but I'm happy getting those after being rejected by the real top guys (i assume thanks in large to my horrible win rating after those past mediocre seasons)

Not sure why LJ couldn't crack the Pistons starting lineup, and KA having A handling and averaging 3.3 to's and not enough steals make me wonder whats wrong with him. But again, despite overpaying both I can't complain. A season ago I lost Timmy Hardaway in FA for nothing, but at least it got me 20+ mill cap space

... and thankfully I do have a starting PG again now (after that ugly rotation of Pressey, Wyatt, Lister and Jacobsen)

One more: Add Byron Thomas to the list. His signing by the Nets shouldn't have happened, the offer was removed already. He's back to the FA pool, too.

You would have started LJ over Len Bias???

Willingly overpaid to bring 'Nique back. Think he is a perfect vet to lead my team of babies. Hopefully things start to look a little brighter in Bulls land.. All depends on TC

you were the 6th seed going 48-34 ... and didn't find a roster spot for a guy averaging 21/8 a season earlier ?
then i guess something is seriously wrong with LJ.

Not saying Bias was a premier defender, but LJ seemed a lot worse...

well some real horible contracts imo. ralph getting such a big contract and scott getting over 20mil per year is way too much.
glad to see my starting pg back for such a bargain and upgrading my front court as well. losing kukoc is tough but i already drafted his future replacement so no real problem here.

true. I think Ralph got payed. but then again, its unlikely he'll finish out the contract anyway.

Do you happen to know Wright's potential? Coz I think it Kukoc will be hard to replace. :-s

Not that I want to say that this number of signings didn't give Tom a hard time.

BUT IMO, for a Commish, and all the GMs in fact, it is enlightening to see that the activity of GMs haven't dropped even if there had been a really look break in the middle of the season.

 :cheers: to everyone.

Sigh of relief, bringing Kemp back inot the fold...

keeps me away from a full rebuild for now...

He's still been a 20/10, and I needed major height given that everyone else was 6'9 or smaller.  And yeah the contract is backloaded on the assumption he's not going to last another 6 years. 

it's a gamble but it gives my team hope with Sampson/Durant/Ellis and a glut of guards.

Well shut out on day 1 but that was no shock or big surprise. Considering the contracts handed out I really only had a shot at Kemp and Gilliam.

Excitied for day 2. Seems to be one borderline max player out there and a large handful of guys that could sign on a decent contract.
