2031 FA day 1 results & discussion

[MagicGM]

This is almost surreal....thanks, Tom. A lot of work FA is.

Happy to get Byron back and Kevin. My backcourt D is right where I want it. Still have the MLE to use and still plenty of talent on the board.

Also happy to see some player movement, should help out with balance in the L.

Big day for the Celts indeed -quite the impressive one-day FA haul. Don't know if I can recall one team scoring two premium FA's on the same day before in my sim experience. Congrats.

Not that I want to say that this number of signings didn't give Tom a hard time.

BUT IMO, for a Commish, and all the GMs in fact, it is enlightening to see that the activity of GMs haven't dropped even if there had been a really look break in the middle of the season.

  to everyone.

Sigh of relief, bringing Kemp back inot the fold...

keeps me away from a full rebuild for now...

well some real horible contracts imo. ralph getting such a big contract and scott getting over 20mil per year is way too much.

He's still been a 20/10, and I needed major height given that everyone else was 6'9 or smaller.  And yeah the contract is backloaded on the assumption he's not going to last another 6 years. 

it's a gamble but it gives my team hope with Sampson/Durant/Ellis and a glut of guards.

Well shut out on day 1 but that was no shock or big surprise. Considering the contracts handed out I really only had a shot at Kemp and Gilliam.

Excitied for day 2. Seems to be one borderline max player out there and a large handful of guys that could sign on a decent contract.
