FA Notes [Please Read]

1) Please list first and last names.  Knicknames, or just first names, or just last names, don't work.

2) Only tell me "120%" of last years salary if the guy doesn't have 3+ bird years.  If a guy does have 3+ bird years, you can offer him any contract, specify the starting year.  The only way I can know 120% of last years contract is if the guy has less than 3 bird years, then 120% if the max I can offer and I can tell the computer that.  This doesn't work when the max is the league maximum because he has 3+ bird years.

guys, to give you an idea WHY this data is  needed, take a look here: this is the input field from the FBB application


So the data bods has to submit to the application is
- YEARS
- YEARLY RAISE (%)
- FIRST YEAR (contract money)

offering in this context will speed up the process ...

Yes.  As you can see, it doesn't tell me the amount he made last year.  So if a guy has less than 2 bird years, the max salary (like the one in the picture) is 120% of that, no problem.

If a guy has 3+ bird years, the max salary is 15,000,000 or so (league maximum based on experience), so I have no idea (without loading up an old archived save) of what last years salary was.

As an example, we'll take Nate Van Exel.  Nate made (roughly) 3 million last year or so.  Celtics tells me 120% of last years salary, which would be about 4 million as his intention.

This is what NVE's page looks like to me:


There's no way for me to tell 120% of his prior years salary.  Digging up old saves is just a PITA.

To Recap:
Basically:
2 or less bird years:
120% of last years salary is fine to say
3+ bird years:
tell me the starting salary.
