#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

WHERE AND HOW TO SUBMIT BIDS:

RFA BIDS ARE DUE AT 5 PM CENTRAL ON WEDNESDAY 1/11/2017

Bids should be submitted to The Negotiator via Private Message (click here to send a Private Message to The Negotiator). This Private message should have the subject "TEAM NAME- RFA Bids 2012" (substitute your team's name for the words "TEAM NAME" in quotes). Place all of your RFA bids in a single message, with one entry per line, formatted as follows:

Player Name; Initial Year's Salary; Yearly Raise Percentage; Total Number of Years; (if desired: Team Option/Player Option)

For example, the Hawks' RFA Private Message should have the subject (note values below are not indicative of the current cap and are for illustrative purposes only):

"Hawks - RFA Bids 2012"

and might have the following as the body:

Eric Montross; $10,069,134; 12.5%; 5
Khalid Reeves; $7,632,314; 10.0%; 4
Brooks Thompson; $3,000,000; 3.5%; 3; Team Option

The following players may be bid on during Restricted Free Agency ("incumbent" team follows player name, players are listed in order in which they were drafted in 2008):

RFA List:
Kevin Love, Suns
Russell Westbrook, Spurs
Derrick Rose, Trailblazers
Goran Dragic, Magic
DeAndre Jordan, Warriors
Omer Asik, Celtics
Serge Ibaka, Heat

Remember that Restricted Free Agents may not be traded for a full season (i.e., until after 2013 RFA) except for within the limits of a "Sign and Trade" between the "winning" and "incumbent" team (see the RFA Rules explanation).

RULES ON LEGAL BIDS:

Please see the cap checker at http://pbsl.ijbl.net/check.htm to calculate maximum salary amounts.

Each team may submit up to ten (10) RFA bids. Bids in excess of ten will be ignored.

TEAMS WITH AN OUTSTANDING LUXURY TAX BILL MAY ONLY MAKE VETERAN MINIMUM OFFERS TO RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

Teams bidding on players that ended last season on their roster (i.e., "incumbent" teams) may offer:

• A starting salary of up to the current maximum for a player with 4 years of service regardless of cap situation.
• Yearly raises of 0% to 12.5%, in increments of 0.5% (i.e., 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% etc.)
• Contract lengths of anywhere from 2 to 5 years. ONE YEAR OFFERS ARE NOT PERMITTED DURING RFA. SINCE VETERAN MINIMUM OFFERS MUST BE FOR ONE YEAR, THIS MEANS VETERAN MINIMUM OFFERS ARE ALSO NOT PERMITTED DURING RFA (INCLUDES OFFERS THAT START SO LOW THAT RAISES FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS RUN UNDER THE VETERAN MINIMUM FOR THE LATER YEAR).
• 5 year contracts may only be a "supermax" (maximum first-year salary with 12.5% raises). Contracts of 2 to 4 years may be for any starting amount and any raise amount (e.g., 4 years starting at $8 million with 11% raises)
• If desired, may designate the final year of a deal of 3 or more seasons as "team option" or "player option" (if neither is selected, the default is "guaranteed")

Teams bidding on players that did NOT end last season on their roster may offer:

• A starting salary up to the current maximum for a player with 4 years of service OR the amount of salary cap space they have available, whichever is LESS (teams that must offer less may be found at the end of this post).
• Yearly raises of 0% to 10.0% in increments of 0.5% (i.e., 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% etc.)
• Contract lengths of anywhere from 2 to 4 years. ONE YEAR OFFERS ARE NOT PERMITTED DURING RFA. SINCE VETERAN MINIMUM OFFERS MUST BE FOR ONE YEAR, THIS MEANS VETERAN MINIMUM OFFERS ARE ALSO NOT PERMITTED DURING RFA (INCLUDES OFFERS THAT START SO LOW THAT RAISES FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS RUN UNDER THE VETERAN MINIMUM FOR THE LATER YEAR).
• If desired, may designate the final year of the deal of 3 or more seasons as "team option" or "player option" (if neither is selected, the default is "guaranteed")

Use the "Contract Helper" portion of the PBSL Trade Checker tool - link here - to figure out what those raises make the contract look like in dollar amounts and what this will do to your cap in the future if you need to.

TEAMS WHOSE MAXIMUM OFFER TO EXTERNAL RFAs IS LIMITED BY CAP SPACE ADJUSTED FOR RFA SALARY HOLDS (A NUMBER BELOW THE MINIMUM, INCLUDING NEGATIVE NUMBERS, MEANS THAT TEAM MAY NOT BID ON EXTERNAL RFA'S):
(All teams not on the above list may offer maximum initial year salaries to external RFAs)

Note the above includes your cap figure as of the index prior 2nd round picks being cut (i.e., with 2nd-round draft pick salaries INCLUDED as part of your cap); if you are planning on cutting your 2nd round pick(s), you must do the math to figure out how much cap space this will make available for RFA.

Oooo rfa
