League Wide Vote- Cash Exchanged On Player's Contract

[seebnova]

Option 4

[DynastyDeacon]

I am giving this vote till Friday night at 10 PM EST. If no one else votes, option 5 will be the winner and that will be the new cap exchange rule moving forward.

Another vote was cast, but it was for an option that now has only two total votes.

A few questions.

1) Are we able to post trades starting at 10 PM EST tomorrow night that involve cash exchanges or do we have to wait for you to make a post declaring that option the winner?

2) I am assuming the 25% max contract rule applies to the max paid cumulatively by all teams. IE: De'Aaron Fox has a $26m per year contract for four years. Washington Wizards trades him to me and pays $26m on him in 2023 making it 25% of total contract. Can I then trade him again and pay $26m in 2024 making De'Aaron Fox fully paid in 2023 and 2024, which would be a max 25% of total contract per transaction, but 50% of total contract overall. I guess the question is whether the 25% max of total contract is per transaction or max of 25% over the course of the whole contract across all transactions?

*EDIT* As IndianaBuc pointed out to me via PM there is also the option of 25% of remaining contact (25% of $78m after $26m of original $104m contract paid per the Fox example).

Option 2

I would like to change my vote from option #4 to option #2.

I believe that makes the voting as follows:

Option #2 - 11
Option #5 - 12

Not looking to cause any drama or add to this long thread, but?

I just wanted to once again double down on my decision for voting on option #5.

A very strong chance I would step down as GM if we eliminate cash exchanges completely. There has to be middle ground here? and I think option 5 is it.

Thanks!

It's 25% overall. If Fox is traded with the 25% covered, he cannot be dealt again that season with more money covered)

@jojowalkwalk & @seebnova you have voted for options 1 or 4 and are the only ones to do so. Can you change your vote to whichever of option 2 and 5 that you prefer?

So are we operating under 5 now?

Part of what Billy said was "If no one else votes", which several people did vote or changed their votes so I am guessing we are still undecided? At this point I am waiting for a definitive rule change before I assume anything.
