Big Winner is obviously Suns.  Good choice by him as well.  He originally had his offer as a max for 3 years then switched it to 5.  Still shocked he got him, considering the Warriors offered him 140 mil.

[KingsGM-old]

Lol. Warriors lost Hinrich for nothing! He's not going to be happy.

i'm satisfied. resigned most of my fillers.

[SunsGM]

Very, Very excited to get Hinrich, I'm shocked I got him, almost cant believe it. now i feel my backcourt rotation is set, now i need to add a couple of bigs.

Bods: do our offers still carry over to the next day with this new system?

[CavsGM]

Re-signed Sweetney to a good contract and got a nice young talent in Fisher. Not bad.

Yes.  In fact, if you go to the free agency page you'll still see your active offers (signed free agents should have been automatically removed).

[SunsGM]

Yeah, sorry, i saw that after the page updated. Thanks!

[HawksGM]

I'm thrilled to get Wooden and Holton.  I feel both will be great in my attempt to field a defensive team.  Wooden was on the Hornets last season, who made it to the finals.  Holton will block about 2.5 a game for me and gives me a defensive shot blocker that I haven't had since Stromile back in season one.  These were the 2 I thought I would get and I still have a couple more out there that are potential additions to the Hawks.

[KingsGM-old]

Ah, what a beauty, endless MLE offers....

[HawksGM]

bods: How much time did this new method take off of your day 1 FA time?

[GoldenStateGM]

I think it is absolute load of crap I lost Hinrich.
I think it is obvious that the loyalty, greed, and play for a winner numbers mean absolutely nothing, considering Hinrich's 88 loyalty...

But, well done, Suns...  You got a great, great player.  A real leader, and a real winner.

Glad to get Ahye, he is young, with potential, and has excellent shot percentages when given a chance.
Also glad to keep Holt, at a decent price, especially since he is noy my starter... lol

Probably cut it in half easily.

Yeah?  Did you see what Stro Swift (who still put up 15/7 last year) ASKED for?  The stro swift of 71 loyalty, 6 greed? 

Kirk's going to make more in the 5 years of his current contract than he would have in the first 5 years of your contract.  Shocking, yes.  But not completely unheard of.  Besides, I'm sure the ratings mean more to some players than others.  On some I think the ratings did affect their decision.  On others, not so much.

Now wait a moment, couldn't the Warriors offer more to Kirk than anyone else?

So if they tried to get him cheap(er) based on his loyalty that strategy didn't work. This is bad luck, most would have done the same (unless they KNEW - like me - how badly the Suns were after a PG, and Kirk's the best on the table)

But I wonder what his resign offer was. With 33 greed i doubt he asked for a max contract in the first place so the Warriors might have blown 2 chances here ...

[GoldenStateGM]

Started him at 14 million, with his 88 loyalty, for 7 years...
And he never offeerd a resign, another reason why the loyalty was useless..

[MavsGM]

Got Garrett Ward for MLE now I have too many PGs.
