Jim Finley

[CelticsGM]

bods, Pacers said he can't offer on day 4, since technically there might not be 24 hrs between sims. That was my reference to the "written Rule" about.

well i agree that pacers shouldn´t be allowed to make an offer on day 3. But what is if a gm is active enough to read this post and makes an offer on day 3?
are they allowed to get an advantage here?
and if it is allowed why do the pacers have to wait another day?

and what is that about? of course, anybody can offer for a player once a cut is postet. on day 3, because the player has to be cut BEFORE simming day 3 (in fact before entering bids, or it won't be possible) ... that is anybody BUT the Pacers and Magic, who were involved in the deal.

Does this put all the other GMs at an advantage? Heck, yes. Thats what the rule was made for ...

:still shaking head:

after thinking about it, I think Magic and Pacers should be able to bid on him beginning at day 4.  More precisely, I don't think preventing them from bidding on them day 4 does anything to achieve the goal of the rule.

I have manually added Jim Finley to the free agent database under GM actions, so he will now show up in the list (but NOT the one under "Current FA's" on the side).

Thanks.

Glad common sense finally prevailed over just following written law. Too late for me, but good for the league.
