Day 1 FA Results

[MagicGM]

I'm not surprised to see Quentin Brand get signed at least 8 million per year. I'm shocked. No way is he even worth the MLE, IMO. He's a chopstick that could block a lick even for a 7'3. ust look at his averages on 2011 when he started for my team.

[CelticsGM]

This is the FIRST TIME EVER.. I saw someone walk away from a team which has he's BIRD RIGHTS and has a BETTER OFFER. FIRST TIME...

Anyway.. I am left with two options after this..

One, to quit the league.

Two, I will try to trade my whole team and rebuild again.

I'll opt for number two for now.

c'mon, don't overreact. You lost ONE player, that has happened to other teams before. Sure, Tyler was instrumental to you contending, but you're still a pretty good team now.

And let me go even further. Would you really call a guy averaging 13/11 on 44% shooting (including 20% from 3pt and 56% from the line) a FRANCHISE player ? Cause you acted like you just lost one. Sure, he may get better, but he's 27 already and entering his 5th season, so he better start that quickly ...

I had the experience a year later. Nice one-dimensional injury insurance. And the prototypical token white guy at the end of the bench ...

Sure. You're well known for piling garbage that no one wants.

and promote them to the best player he ever had at that position and if no one bids overpay for them

of course. But sometimes I manage to correct those mistakes ...

from the 2013 transaction log:
2013 1 Celtics Trade PF Quentin Brand to the Kings for PG Parker Kidd
2013 1 Kings Trade PG Parker Kidd to the Celtics for PF Quentin Brand

But did the Cavs offered him the max money and years?

Sorry, but I really haven't encountered such thing before.

[KingsGM-old]

I've seen that in that retro league i won a title. I've stole Kevin Mchale and Othis Thorpe from the Celtics although they've offered more money. Seen that before, just not in this legaue.

But.. I did built this team AROUND Tyler. He is the anchor of my frontcourt. And even with him on my team, I can't hardly content. What more if he is already not on my team? I doubt I can find any kind of replacement for Tyler.

I just have too much emotion right now, a mixed of anxiety and anger. So sorry if Im acting like this..

Sixers is on the block right now..

yup, Max everything and he bolted. it is now known as "pulling a LeBron"

[HeatGM]

too bad i lost Bibby to the Heat, not that i wanted him back but his nice expiring would have brought some backup to Beantown
(note to Bibby: "hey, dumbo, great idea signing a LLE on day 1 ... in your final season ! Probably the worst move in your career, even beats not retiring before last season and avoiding the embarrassement of watching you play ...")

Bibby isnt as dumb as you think  he is playing for the title in his last year ...just like wat gary payton did for the HEAT last season 

[NetsGM]

John Tyler's nice, but this talk of him destroying any plans is a little overboard IMO.  In fact, I think he's probably overpaid as a max player who's never really been worthy of one at 27 years of age.  He's certainly replacable, and with the amount of scoring you have on the team, it's really just the defense and rebounding you're looking to replace.

and yeah, definitely look to buy out the last few years of Quentin Brand's contract.  You're new, and learning the salary structure of the league.  But for future reference, there's no way a guy who has averaged 16 mpg his career in 8 years is going to command a multi-year deal, much less one starting at 8 million per.  Definitely learn from this and move on.

I mean I had Luke Jackson last year with a $17mil salary...LUKE JACKSON.

Of course, Luke Jackson averaged 19 ppg the year he got that contract.  And has had seasons of 19.6 ppg, 16.8 ppg, and 14.5 ppg with A- defense.

Brand probably wouldn't have gotten more than the MLE, and that's the key to free agency.

[WizardsGM]

I will just keep hoping for a miracle in TC. Even if his rebounding goes up 1 rating that will be nice. I plan to start him regardless, hopefully he can keep himself on the court long enough to get a couple blocks per game and play nice defence.
