Re: Questions Thread
I honestly never know how max works, broph could probably explain it. But I noticed for resignings, the max started at 7.5-11.25 over 6 years. So I'd assume pretty similar. When I get home, I can sim ahead and do a quick max bid just to see how much it would be.

Re: Questions Thread
that 6.75 is the rookie max. Usually the max is 120% of the previous contract.UOducksTK1 wrote:I honestly never know how max works, broph could probably explain it.

Re: Questions Thread
You can offer Max salary without offering max years though. So if you had a kinda bad player with bird rights it might be smart to sign him to a 1 year max so you have a big expiring contract to match trade offers. Also if you have a good old older player a 2-3 year max might be worth it(like Parish) otherwise a 6-7 year max will kill your team when that contract is still on the books and the player is awful.

Re: Questions Thread
MAX CONTRACTS:
1st Year of a Max Contract:
1-4 Years of Experience: 25% of Soft Cap
5-9 Years of Experience: 30% of Soft Cap
10+ Years of Experience: 35% of Soft Cap
If the player was previously on your team, the first year starts at 120% of the last year of his previous contract. This is how gigantic contracts are born. Keep this in mind.

Sorry if this has been asked, but do teams over the cap have a Mid Level Exception to use?

Re: Questions Thread
Yes they do. You get one MLE each year. They are worth 4.5 so look for guys that would fall into that type of contract. You won't be able to sign an All-Star but you should get a good 6th man or starter.DmoneyDuck wrote:Sorry if this has been asked, but do teams over the cap have a Mid Level Exception to use?
Also you can offer up to 12 guys so don't fall in love with one guy and only offer him, have backup plans.

Re: Questions Thread
Is there a preseason? Or do we jump right into the regular season?
