I like it giving guys a hometown discount, and allows teams to keep high-end guys they either grew or traded for on more team friendly deals. As for the franchise tags, I am not a big fan of that because they can be a cap killer, with large $$ values. I would rather see something like comp picks than franchise tag. Like if I am the Wolves and I let Butler walk and the Suns sign him, get a comp back at the end of round one. Only do it for like top-10 players leaving teams or something, with the top-5 bringing back a 1st and the bottom 5 a second. I personally would prolly not use the tag if it follows the NFL guidelines of median of top-10 salaries per position or 110% of last years # which ever is greater.
How is the draft going to shape up? Is it how it went down in the NBA or are we doing a draw?
2 quick things I'm considering and may make official when I send the next PM but I'll post here to get some feedback first.1. Allowing for 2 Franchise Tags (but you have to use them on a different position). I think if a team can afford it and wants to keep 2 players at the franchise price it should be allowed 2. This is a rule from the Gridiron Franchise NFL and I think it is even better suited for us with the fact we don't have traditional resigning:Awarding a 10% discount on any Free agents won who were previously on the same team last season. Example I traded for Barnes on his expiring deal this year and don't think he is worth keeping with the franchise tag but I want to go after him again in FA next year- if I win him at, for example 15m per a year, I would then get him at 13.5m Thoughts?
The NBA is garbage for a lot of reasons, but the trading of future picks is one of them. I'm glad this is nipped early on as I would hate to be the guy who takes over a team in a couple years only to find out that they have no picks and no players to show from it. 2 years out may be too far, current year +1, would be better, IMO.
Exactly my sentiments, and thoughts.But with the current trade the decision was made already. Could’ve easily have just made the 2 teams trade their 2019 2nd rounders though
I see valid reasoning as to not allowing it but I also think given that the rules require potential pick compensation for RFA's and then also trading for any guys that get Franchise Tagged I figured allowing everyone 6 picks to work with in a given season is fair- though my initial thought was to allow 2 future years but cap it at max being allowed to move 4 out 6 available picks each year. So if someone moves both 2020s and both 2018s they must keep both 2019s or any other combination. However, I figured to keep it simple and not put a restriction but if there is more support for this I am fine with it either way.
I see the reasoning, but as someone who has had to take over neglected teams that need rebuilding numerous times on this site, I tend to lean more towards not allowing GMs to totally ruin a team. If X player who they trade their future picks for ends up getting injured or in a situation where they don't produce to warrant pick compensation when they are lost during FA, they the team has no players, no pick compensation and no picks.
