SEASON 5 LUXURY TAX BILL THREAD:
viewtopic.php?t=15124
The deadline for exercising RFA rights is the end of the 1st Round of the 1985 rookie draft or 5 pm on the day the rookie draft begins (whichever comes 2nd). If you do nothing, it is assumed you are declining to exercise your RFA "right to match" and these players will become Unrestricted Free Agents. Exercising RFA rights means your available cap space will be reduced by the noted amount during the RFA bidding period only. Please refer to the RFA Explanation thread (here: viewtopic.php?p=170) for questions and ask them in that thread, not this one.
To exercise a player's RFA rights, you must post in this thread with the name of the player whose rights you are exercising and note "Exercise Rights" for example: "Kings exercise RFA rights on Jeffery Duren." Note that one of the penalties for having luxury tax payments outstanding is that you are not permitted to exercise RFA rights; if you are not paid up by the close of the exercise period, your players will become UFAs. This is the only reminder that will be given. Only posts exercising or declining RFA rights should go in this thread. Questions should go in the RFA rules thread linked above or you can PM the commissioner.
