Good question it's not mentioned but it will be daily

Option 2 for salaries is what we are rolling with.

Also 1 more very important thing I completely forgot to mention- Any players with team/player options will automatically be picked up

e.g. Lebron opted out in real life this off season but he will be property of Cleveland-at 33.3m-if anyone ends up with them).

However, for any FA with expiring deals this off season and no options I will allow the team to choose whether they want to retain them for 1 year at the 2017-2018 salary or let them become FA- no cost and would not count as a free drop either.

e.g. If anyone ends up with the Pelicans they can choose to keep Cousins for 1 year at 18.1m or let him become a FA.

If anyone has objections to this feel free to post but I figured this is a relatively fair decision.

Important change- player/team options will actually not be picked up as it gets too complicated to figure out specific salaries (it's hard enough to ensure I base salaries pre any potential extensions this off season). So All starting salaries/years will be only based on players under guaranteed contract years as they were to end the season, with the exception being 1 year deals for expired players this off season if chosen to retain these players.

With this said- players who had team/player options this year like Lebron are now in the same pool as those who just had regular expiring contracts, i.e. you can now choose if you want these players for 1 year at the 2017-2018 salary. I hope no one has issues with this change.

As mentioned in PM real life team options will get picked up but player options will not- final decision.

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?

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.
