Day 4 FA Results

[CelticsGM]

FA is really crazy that is now the 3rd time this year that i lost out on a FA with the same offer. guess winning % is for nothing.

you offered 20mio / 2yrs for Tanner? After trying to shop his expiring all of last season? I'm surprised. I thought you'd go for a big expiring again ...

you think he would take 17mill before he take a 2yr contract?
and since i had a backup plan to get back under the hard cap during the season i couldn´t offer more.

wow... i signed Lamar odom for only an MLE that's really surprising...nobody offer him more than that?

Actually, yes.

If a player makes 17 million this year, all he has to make is 3 million next year to make the same amount of money over the same time span.

Obviously, a player who got 17 million this year thinks he's going to be good enough to command more than 3 million in the open market next year.

don't try to explain everything with logic. there's a player "satisfaction" rating that have an influence on the decision
I even have witnessed a player take a MLE offer from one team over a 3yr deal starting at 5.5mio from another team, apparently making the decision because of potentially more playing time

Can a player think at all in this game?

there's obviously an AI built in for decision making process.  I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to think that they can:
1) See what teams they're less likely to get PT on
2) Make a self-determination (a combination of their abilities and greed) on what they think they can get.

I don't have verification, but as a programmer, it wouldn't have been hard to implement.
