As expected Unrestricted Free Agency will start at 7.00pm ET of Sunday, only a few hours from now.
RULES FOR UFA
- Only 20 players will be bidded simultaneously
- A team must start a new thread with the desired player’s NAME and AGE
- Every bid must include NUMBER OF YEARS, ANNUAL AVERAGE SALARY and OCV
- If a TEAM OPTION is offered, it must be stated on the offer (remember that you can only offer 1 TO per year)
- To make a better offer than the standing one a team must make an offer that is at least 0.50pts higher in OCV
- When an offer stands for 24 hours without a better offer, that player is signed by the last team to post an offer
- A signed UFA cannot be traded for the following month
- The League’s Trade Deadline will be one week after the NBA’s Trade Deadline
RULES FOR CONTRACTS
- Duration
o 18-29 years old - 4 years max
o 30-33 years old - 3 years max
o 34-36 years old - 2 years max
o 37-99 years old - 1 year max
- Salary
o Minimum of 500k for each year
o 10% increase every year (Use the Salary Calculator Tool)
- Salary vs. Duration (For players 33 or under)
o Maximum for 1 year – 8.0M AAS
o Maximum for 2 years – 14.0M AAS
One quick note on the issue that would arise when offering a 2Y 14M AAS offer to a player over 34 years: The Maximum allowed only applies to cases where age restrictions do not come into play, basically with any offer to a player 33 years old or younger.
