Waves
This is wave 2 of free agency. There will be 3 waves.
Check who you got in wave 1: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/mOeVNfr1jMAQij/raptorsfan126-mock-2023-wave-1-free-agency
Checking this post to see if you were outbid
Make sure to check this post regularly to see if someone outbid you or not. I will updating the bids in order. I don't want to be going after 30 GMs to tell them that they were outbid lol. I will however remind teams with RFA's that received offer sheets.
Inactive Ownership
There are teams who's GM's are inactive or they don't even have a GM. I will be very lightly controlling those teams. The only thing I do is match offer sheets for RFA's of those teams if it makes sense. That's the only thing I do.
Player perspective
I play as the perspective of the player. Make sure to write pitches when sending an offer, that increases your chances of signing a player.
Soft and Hard Cap
I have decided to implement something like the luxury tax. It will be a hard cap set at 185 million. Unless its a league minimum, can't go over this 185 mil mark. Note that we still have the NBA soft cap at 127 million but you can go over it to re-sign guys, minimums, MLE, but not go over to sign other players.
Sign and Trades
You are also allowed to negotiate sign and trades. REMEMBER: Just because you agreed on a sign and trade does not mean it is official, you have to wait until the player accepts the offer in order for it to be official.
Cutting players
You can cut players at any time if you want, but if they are on guaranteed deals, they are still on your payroll
Offer Sheets and Restricted Free Agency
Each Team is allowed to prepare only one offer sheet contract in the entire offseason for restricted free agents. If an offer sheet is made and the team that his rights don't match the offer, he goes to that team that gave him the offer sheet if the player is okay with the offer.
Extending Players
This is also the time where you can extend your 2020 draft pick players.
No Cap Holds
We won't be doing cap holds in this mock. Meaning if you have cap space and you re-sign a player, he won't count towards the cap right away which gives you the freedom to sign other players and then the player you re-sign will be signed using bird rights.
