Both the Knicks and Jazz are open to anyone that wants them.

I have to warn you though it will take a lot of time and hard work to bring these once proud franchises back to prominence. Both of their rosters were dismantled by their former GMs, who then left the game.

So I'm pretty much moving into my new place, but here's the kicker. I have pretty much NO internet here, for now at least. It should be fixed in a day or 2, so I use the net about once a day for a limited time. I apologize for all those participants who proposed trades/buyouts/offers to me recently and I've been slow to respond. This is the worst time for me to have no net because I am going to be extremely busy starting Tuesday for the next 2-3 weeks, therefore I wanted to try and get my team all together now. Ugh... I'll try to check my stuff as much as possible.

Sorry all, but keep the offers coming.

I was away from the computer on friday night and Saturday. My god I missed approx. 35 emails about Memet Okur. Sorry Memet I let you down.

Not happy. I would have increased my offer but Okur's agent dropped the ball on this one.

Alas, I traded for Spencer Hawes to fufill my hole at Center/PF. God help me.

The business of having offers but not being able to sign a deal is tricky. Felton and Okur had offers mid last week but it wasn't until Friday after I'd checked the site that Okur had a sign-able deal. Then I wasn't around. Felton never seemed to get enough offers to be sign.

A: I can't believe this thread is 11 pages. That's nuts. You guys are insane.

B: Can someone please answer a question I have? I keep getting emails about someone offering Matt Barnes a contract, but I have his "bird rights". How do I sign him with my "bird rights". I see him nowhere on my roster, except when I got to set my lineup. I'm conufsed.

Not good form asking for help right after you insult everyone...

Yeah, I know. I was just joking anyways. Do the players auto-sign a deal if you agents aren't around... or are you able to have the final sign-off on every deal? It just seems that some guys get signed at weird hours of the day so I thought it might be automated? That wouldn't make sense though, otherwise why would they need an agent.

Oh, I didn't realize it was an insult, but I guess sarcasm is hard to pick up on over text sometimes... 11 pages on a thread isn't a lot? Regardless, I don't know what the hell is going on with this Matt Barnes/Bird Rights thing. I can't figure out if he is mine or an FA? It seems like somewhere in between, but I can't find an option to sign him or match these offers or anything. It doesn't help that this site is slow. It frustrates me to no end.

Well, if you would read them you would know the answers about Barnes, as well as to why Kobe is a free agent. Plus you are in the league so why knock others for talking about it? Lame.

Also, you would notice that a large number of the posts are Roundhouse and I explaining to the other people how the game works. So yeah, nice "sarcasm."

Anyways, you have his rights so just offer him a free agent contract as you would to anyone else.

whoa whoa whoa, someone is really sensitive this morning!!!

Fail.

If some agent wants a huge payday, go rep Mike Dunleavy and accept his buyout.

Alright, I figured out the Barnes' thing. Basically to anyone else out there who didn't know, if you have someone's Bird rights, they are a FA that anyone can sign, but you can go over the cap to keep them since you have their Bird rights. CWolf could've spent 30 seconds to tell me that, but instead I spent a half hour on that slowass site to figure it out. Thanks buddy.

Also sucks I missed out on most of the FA signings. Oh well, its just a free league so I guess it doesn't really matter.

I will agree that the site is painfully slow on our work computers. Its weird because its just fine and really fast at home.

Anyways, you just offer him a contract. You can pay more years and money than anyone else.
