Day 1 FA Results

[PacersGM]

Raps in my opinion are winners of day 1, and yeah Blazers have plans with guy we singed altough he's on block

Yeah, a maximum 6yr contract to a PG with a CAREER HIGH 12 points and 5 ASSISTS (!!!).

I LOVE THE SSBA ...
 

couldn´t agree more here...  

with around 10 pgs available and telfair already there a max offer for a guy who will never be more than a backup is just amazing
maybe telfair is one the block????

winner for day 1 should be bucks

getting both ferry and arenas is great... biggest problem will be TOs
with pierce and possible davis back this team will crush the record for TOs in a season  

[MagicGM]

Bill Begay

best free agent available.

I have NO CLUE whatsoever how the Magic could choose NOT to resign Arenas, who they gave away their present greatness for (remember, they were 3rd or 4th in the East before the deal).

 

[MagicGM]

he was a cancer.

anyway, I opted to go for the petit and ferry. unfortunately I offered a bigger contract than what was possible. oh well..

also, with the addition of Brice. I don't think I'll be needing him.

also, I did a risky move that didn't pay off.

[KingsGM-old]

Wow...Danny Fortson, Ty Prince and Chris Bosh. And it's just a day 1  

[NetsGM]

Wow...  I looked at the main roster page last night and it said next day was last day of Draft, and now it is Day 2 of FA and I am fucked out of Del Negro...  Just fucking lovely...  I guess that's what I get for not following the draft...  this truely fucking sucks as does my team...

As someone already said, the announcement that the last day of the draft was postponed was posted here:
The first day of free agency was run according to our calendar.  
The season calendar was posted on October 7th [10 days ago]:
That's 10 days ago.

The roster page was correct, the last day of the draft was the next thing to do.

You knew JDN was going to be a free agent as of the end of playoff round 1 [October 5th, 12 days ago].  You knew all the Free Agents (sans undrafted free agents) on October 8th [9 days ago].

So to recap:
October 5th - You knew JDN was a free agent
October 7th - Season Calendar posted, full 2010 year
October 8th - Entire free agent class declared
October 16th - Day 1 FA run

Why it was imperative that you procrastinate to get your offers in (offers that you admit are able to make or break your team) until the last possible second, I don't know.  Why you failed to check the calendar to see when a day that could make or break your team was, I don't know.  And how that somehow became my fault [this is in relation more to a pm than tthis post) I REALLY don't know.

Maybe I should send mass e-mails to everyone in the league when every sim is run?  Maybe I should collect all of your phone numbers and call each and every one of you to remind you when submissions are due?  I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I have to do, since it appears not only do I have the responsibility of running the sim but of taking on each gm's responsibilities as well.

I do not plan out a full years worth of sims on the calendar for myself.  I know things are going to happen. I do it so everybody knows when things are going to happen.  It is your responsibility, and yours alone, to check the calendar.  Enter it into Outlook (or another PIM).  Enter it into a palm (if you have one) or your phone.  Print it out and tape it to your computer monitor, I don't care.  But it is your responsibility.

[RaptorsGM]

Kings, you did well.

I personally would have signed Prince to a multi-year contract, as I think he is a bit of a steal at the level yo got him.

Great signing with Bosh.

You don't need to do anything.  People need to follow the calendar.  Simple as that.

[RaptorsGM]

Yeah Bods, the fact that you feel the Pistons are saying it's your fault is stupid.

The calender was posted a long time ago, and it was followed. The fact that last nights sim was postponed did not effect FA Day 1 in the least.

[NetsGM]

Anyway, back to free agency.

I really like my depth.

Lo, Miller, Jamison, Salmons, Snow, Turkoglu.  Another pg (solely for depth, in case of injury) and I think i'm set.

Until the finals, at least.

You know, it could be time for you to have a bad TC too.

[NetsGM]

could be, but i don't put a whole lot of stock in the fickle ratings of before and after tc.  It's just not very representative.  

I mean Carlos Boozer has fallen off one in inside and one in defense.  Last year he still pretty much hit his career averages in both ppg and fg%, and held opposing pf's to 44% shooting (not great, but not terrible, either, and not a dropoff from his days as a B+ defender).

Every year the teams who have "bad" training camps usually have good years, and vice versa.

Especially when you get guys in their prime.  TC can be important for young guys and for old guys, but I feel that I know about what Emeka and Pettit will give me regardless of TC.  

I remember Keith being worried that KG went down to an A- offensively.  Then he put up 27.2 ppg on 46.5% shooting, and would probably still be in the 30 ppg range if it wasn't for gatling.

Ha, last year I was worried about Yao going down to A- inside...and look what happened.

Good point.

[KingsGM-old]

Yes, but there was no Peja and Baron on your team. Natural, his ppg went up

[RaptorsGM]

Right, but the fact that he went down to A- inside didn't affect him.
