FA Days 4 and 5

76ers Sign PG Trey Burke for $3,005,410 over 4 years

Not to be a grinch here. But I don't think this contract is legal per our rules? DMo didn't have bird rights on him and should have only been able to offer a two-year min (or an exception). Obviously FBB took the contract, but I didn't know this was allowed for players who we didn't have bird rights on.

FWIW I think solution here would be put Burke on a two year min and just move forward

it's legal. he has coring rights.

Did Burke not finish the season on the Nuggets? He wasn't on the Sixers last year was he?

oh i just assumed he was. i don't know how that bid would even get thru FBB?

[Jesse]

if it's a min, obviously illegal.

[Jesse]

never seen a bid like that go through in fbb

neither have I, that's why I didn't voice any concerns with it, FBB has always told me no when it came to bids like this if they weren't valid

regardless, the outcome will be just me changing it to a 2 year min because I am 99% sure 76ers still land him at that bid

[ashes]

the only thing i can think of is 5 years exp is the sweet spot for a bid like this to work out perfectly within FBB's built in rules that typically stops 3-4 year deals that usually result in year 3 or 4 falling below the minimum salary

Holy shit lol I just realized Raul Lopez is 40!

Fun fact. Jesse drafted him for the Warriors when I took over for Grant a few days later. I believe. Maybe Grant made the pick but yea. Go Raul and Borchardt

[ashes]

taking a break for a bit, then camps, then TC, then ndl delegations, leftovers, and ideally pre1
