I accept
Allen Iverson to concur

[Amare Stoudemire]

I accept
I like bledsoe alot, especially being a bucks fan. But I knew it would throw the starters out of whack a little
Aldridge is older like Paul with a big contract but fuck it, he's playing well and imo gives us a even more solid starting 5 with
Paul-demar-gallo-lma-drummond
I also like prince and pick up a 1st
Good dealings

Wait, Brogdon and Bledsoe (and one of them was a SG last year), plus who?

I actually like this for SAC. They already have one bad contract, may as well double down, increase their ratings of their starting lineup, get sim-god LMA, and at least get a first and Prince for taking on the contract.

[Walt Frazier]

I suppose I'll accept too.

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

My wine is fermenting pretty well. I will open it, 3 years from now.

Sorry guys, Sacramento is over the Hard Cap and can only decrease their salary, but this isn't the fault of Amare Stoudemire: there was a fault on Google Sheets and Eric Bledsoe's salary was not being counted against the Kings total payroll... I have absolutely no idea why this occurred, literally everything was as it should be, but it does mean I now have to manually check all teams and this trade is invalid, unless you guys want to re-work a little so the Sixers take on more salary?

Bro, this like fucks up a ton of trades I've done
And seriously affects the way I would have done things

[Amare Stoudemire]

I feel as though this is dead now! I could throw in something to make me lose money to make this trade happen
But it would further fuck up my cap to the point of no return

I do ask however that I should not be assessed any kind of draft punishment or anything bc this was not my fault

[Amare Stoudemire]

Trash this

[Ian Noble]

I discovered this has been a problem with Bledsoe's contract since his Player Option two years ago (!!) when he played for the Timberwolves.

I investigated every other player in the Rosters and found that it was also happening to Rudy Gay's contract for the Warriors (Chris Mullin), but there were no other instances.

There is absolutely zero explanation why Bledsoe (and Gay's) contracts were not being included in the team totals, it makes no sense at all.

I've now resolved the issue but I'll have to be mindful of this in future.

It would be ridiculous to undo two years worth of transactions so we're just going to have to accept the situation going forward. Apologies Amare Stoudemire, your team is deep into the Hard Cap and, through no mistake by any of us, none of us could have known.
