Stupid Questions Thread

I'm thinking of firing my coach. I've had numerous Injuries this season . Nothing too bad besides James Young. Is that normal? I'd guess that I've had at least 12-15 injuries this season.

Any coach out there that doesn't include the injury bug? Lol

Ask Manu about his Bulls days in the NLL. He probably got 15 injuries per month lol

Yes ... those were the days. I miss them (injuries included). If I remember correctly, in three of our peak seasons we had a key player missing the playoffs.

What are the East and West PO seeds? Are best records the higher seeds or division champs?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if this has been answered but when are contract decisions announced? Player options and whatnot?

After draft and coach hiring, the latter of which may run during draft

So a guy like Eric Gordon, he had a PO on his next year, can I move him now?

You can try but the trade will be voided if he doesn't opt in, IIRC

[mgtr81]

There's nothing against it in the CBA.

The way the NBA operates, no you can't. A trade is contingent on a player or team option being accepted. So you would have to wait till that happens to make the trade. Don't post a trade until it is legal.

Also while it sounds pointless, that means that Melo has to accept the PO before the trade to Milwaukee happens. Obviously he's going to, because it's impossible for him to make $25M in FA, but it means that he can't be traded until after options are completed.

Maybe in the NBA, but not here, as there's nothing in the CBA against trading a player with a PO.

There doesn't have to be a section specifically stating that you cannot trade a contract with a player option because it's already addressed through logic.

In the offseason, we switch over and begin using salaries from next season. Since a player does not have a salary for next season until he picks up his option, he has no salary for trade purposes and thus cannot be traded until he does.

Ok, but it is not "through logic". All other leagues I've been in players with PO's could be traded. If it was a TO, then the receiving team was forced to pick up the TO.

if game allows it, we will allow it then. If not, we won't. Let's stick to game rules cause I think there's nothing written at the CBA, though if there is, anyone point that out to me please!
And whatever game decides will be inputted during CBA update so we dont lose track of that rule!

[OneNole]

Why would anyone want to trade for a player with a p.o. anyways. We had this same issue in the nll. So a team will trade for a player just to potentially see them opt out? Why not just have an agreed upon trade to be posted after decisions?

[drumr]

Why is mentioning a players name bad form? It's my opinion and if someone is uninformed enough to take it and potentially ruin their franchise that's on them. Jist curious? Don't we want people discussing who can go where and who's falling? It's not like we don't all have the ability to look on the forum and see who's there. Isn't on the best parts of drafts commenting on who's falling and the storylines it generates? Never noticed that rule last season and wonder it's intent is all.

We don't want people influencing other people's decisions on draft day. We've always done it this way. Wait till that player is selected and then talk about it all you want.

[Jestor]

Yeah it's been a rule since the beginning

[Myles]

Yeah we implemented that rule when I founded the league and took it from the NLL who had been using that rule since I joined in 2011.

[lakeshowak7]

I'm fine with either route.

[drumr]

Thanks for answering like I said just curious

[drumr]

So if were at contract decision that means players have picked up or rejected their options already? I thought they did it before FA?
