2020-2021 Max Contracts

[Deleted]

This is the guy lines for Max contracts for us at a salary cap of

$121,575,000


Salary Cap of $121,575,000

0-6 years $30,393,750
7-9 years $36,472,500
10+ years $42,551,250

These are the correct starting numbers for our salary cap we have all kinds of illegal beds we need to decide if we're keeping the 11% annual raises or not because technically by NBA standards those are the starting numbers and if you're a resigning team you can sign for up to five years at 8% increase if you're a new team signing a player you can sign for up to four years with a 4% yearly increase now I can completely understand if we want to keep 11% increase as the top one but we should use all these guidelines I am more than willing to volunteer to do these numbers and keep the contracts straight but I will only do that if I have zero challenge against me I'm not going to argue over money or what the contracts are because these are the numbers and if I put all this time into go in and make sure everybody's numbers are good or figure out what contracts need to be fixed and every time a new contract signed make sure it's okay but I don't want anybody challenging me because this is very hard to do and I need to teach my son how to do this and obviously all a lot of you GMS LOL so please when you're making your new pictures you're offers use the starting guide and we need to decide if those contracts for hardened Giannis all this other void or something because it's hard to make correct pictures and get the players when you don't even know the numbers like that's the first and most important thing is the money second is the years and I can promise you Superstars don't sign for only 3 years in my personal opinion we need to pull all the contracts and start free agency again because that's the fair thing to do for everybody now that we have a guideline and make new pictures based on Mex contracts because this money situations shouldn't affect people and if you don't got the salary cap to go to the top of the max well then it is what it is we also need to keep these pictures personal like we all know that everybody wants the player make a reasonable pitch and I'm not saying that everybody does but I've read some crazy stuff lately sorry for the length

This is unfair mentally , especially for those who've earned their players with pitches that they've stated and promised

This suggestion can start the next offseason if this will be implemented. It's also all about planning on who to get, not just forming a team with multitude of superstars getting offers from teams, without thinking about the possible depth chart and promises for the players. I'll give myself an example. I wasn't able to get Jrue, and Khris (not allowed, but I'm fine with it)... But, DLo as my last resort. There's plenty of opportunities to get great players.

And as for superstars not signing for only 3 years? There are a lot of players in the past who've signed 3 years deal. This year, Lowry and DeRozan got 3 year deals.

This is better suited for next year, and fellow GMs won't like this to be implemented now.

And I feel the complete opposite of you I feel like it's completely unfair that the teams that could have made better pitches are done a better job should have another chance because you guys won some players with wrong beds so if the bids are wrong then the pictures terrible you guys think that way because you're on the whole other side of the country and you don't think like a American NBA player would and Lowry and de rosner are older now hard not taking a three-year contract a three year contract for Lowry at his age is perfect Harding is not on is not loudly level you know what I mean I think there's a lot of unfair things and the rightful thing to do is to start the pictures over I mean the players that it doesn't affect I can understand or at the very least like Atlanta's contract for Giannis needs to go to the right numbers cuz it's pretty close Harding's offer is crazy it's too much in the first year and it's not for long enough James Harden wouldn't sign for just a three year deal he wouldn't mind as much money possible or you would take a one-on-one they've always done that because he's got those star power to get whatever he wants and if something goes bad he can dictate it and he's set up I'm not going to sit here and pretend like this isn't a difficult decision but you guys are running off of whatever numbers you want I mean the players that sign contracts only Max contract should start over because maybe I don't even think Atlanta has enough really for Giannis but that's just my stance it really is I'm not going to put time in on something that's not done right that's just the way it's supposed to be the numbers are wrong which means it makes salary cap brought so then get hard in the 5-year deal too on the Nets and make it right if that's what you guys want to do but the pictures we can go forward with these numbers a set.

If I may chime in here.

A mistake was found, and that has to be corrected. Great catch, Shawn.

That being said, it would be difficult to retroactively correct all mistakes made this offseason, since this will, in effect, destroy the league. This is also the reason why the MLB does not review and overturn all previous decisions made - like Galarraga' blown perfect game because Jim Joyce blew the call for an out.

Also, I am not sure if David's statement of 'fellow GMs may not want this implemented this year' is true. This is a generalization, which will prove to be false, if one GM explictly dissents on the matter.

I would wait on the commissioners for their decision. It's great that errors are called out. What matters is the mistake has to be acknowledged, and something is being done to correct the mistake.

This is an imperfect league, led by imperfect commissioners, played by imperfect GMs. Let's all have fun, and make the most of the game.

I understood your grievances sir @joker. In fact, I would like to thank you for it because it gave us the reason why there's still a room for improvement when it comes to the rules. We will assure you that this will be discussed thoroughly when it comes to the salary. However, if there will be rule changes, this will be implemented next season.

As for James Harden's situation, 44M was the first offer since James Harden was having 44M in real-life in his third year of his contract. From there, they made those offers increasingly by 11%. As for your request to reset FA, it is irrevocable now. It is what it is. Only we can do is to move forward and make it better next time.

This is the new era now, we are now less "draconian" as we are trying our best to improve our league in a right way. We can be meticulous without being a "draconian".

I'm also grateful for Shareef Abdur-Rahim that I don't have to make this a very long statement because he has stated some of the things I want to say.

Can someone spell out to me what's wrong with this offseason? I find nothing wrong with ANY offer, including those approved and signed. At most, I question PHX's starting offer that's beyond the 35% of the cap as per the RL NBA Supermax, but since it's not written in the rules that there's a player max, I find nothing wrong with this.

Heck, NBAX Brandon Ingram has a Supermax-like contract. How come no one raised this last season?

The 11% increases have been in use since Season 1. Or at least until Maro and Ben Wallace agreed to update the per year increases, NBAX timeline has been blurred in my memory. The five-year offers for non-Birds was raised and then clarified by Rick Carlisle himself that any team/GM can offer five-year contracts.

Lastly, what did I say about implementing new rules and retroactively and concurrently? Nothing good would come out of it.

If we want to revamp our salary offers to this, which I assume you took from an official or reliable source, I'm all for it. PROVIDED this be implemented next season.

I already made a thread for you for this particular concern.

I had over 40 million in cap space pre Giannis bruh… maybe my numbers weren’t 11% increases to the tee, but I guarantee you they were 10.99% correct, hence why I got a pass. I feel like as long as you specify the percentage increases and you have the appropriate cap space, an offer should be valid. I personally was doing math off a broken iPhone, whilst working so I do apologize for any slight inconveniences, but I 100% had legal cap space to retain the player.
