If you’re aware of the rules for free agency, please go to the signups page (https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/VbjRnAL3ZKIHxJ/the-reset-mock-by-kumingathebest-and-totems) and read them. To sum up the rules for free agency, it will take four days. This will be the ONLY free agency for this mock. The rest will be simmed. To help out teams a little bit, the salary cap will go up by 15 million for more flexibility in signing players. Before we get into the protected players, if you didn’t put anyone on your team in their prime, you can a free agent and put them in their prime. For example, if I’m the Rockets and I protected Sengun and Amen and I don’t have anyone in their prime, I can sign Klay and put him in his prime. Also, you DO NOT have to write long paragraphs about why you want each player. Just make your offer.
Here are all the players that are protected. EVERYONE ELSE IS UP FOR GRABS! Have fun!
