no chance that t-mac will change the conference. i am pretty sure except of okafor or pettit none of the max worth players will change teams.

will this depend on the highest bidding salary? or just the normal free agency thing?

I don't know what is more detrimental to a league; having a commish win, or giving 1 or possibly 2 superstars to a team that doesn't deserve it, and greatly undermining the prestige of winning the title for the next 5-10 years.
If this is truly necessary, then Okafor and Pettit should be given to the two teams with the worst records: the Suns and the Lakers.

That is something I considered, but don't you think that's a slap in the face to be "given" a player because you stink? And why do they deserve to be given a player? At least the person who gets them in FA will have managed the cap. They managed the cap to try to make a run at a superstar. Their odds have increased, but the goal was still the same.

Ahh, but how about a special restricted free agency...
Whoever sign Okafor or Pettit has to sacrifice 2 of their own 1st round picks... A semi-restricted free agency, baseball stye.

Instead of FA why not put them in the draft? That will increase the odds of them going to a team that could really use the help.

I discussed that with Emeka and Pettit, they both told me they will not play for rookie contracts  I will consider that. I will also think about holding them out a year and making them FA's in 2013 (keeing their age and potential the same). I'll mull over this and have a decision tonight. The thing that worries me about the draft is it gives someone too easy of a chance to rebuild, getting that quality of a player on a rookie contract. Maybe make it known that whoever drafts them gets their current contract, not a rookie contract? |

That would be a good solution....then the top 2 teams in the draft have a decision to make. Also it pushes the rest of the talent down a couple notches. |
