Ian NobleCan I propose a rule change to take place immediately? The "Billy King" Exception: Undrafted Rookie Free Agents may be signed within the same offseason of their declared draft year, even before they are created. Reasoning: While waiting for players to be created that are veterans is an understandable tactic to keep players during the regular season from being on a roster but not in the sim, I think that the convenience of just being able to make the rookie UDFA's builds at the same time as the rest of the rookies means that it wouldnt really cause the same problems that it does for other players. We already make 40 rookies before the first game of the season, what's adding 5 or 6 more? There should indeed be some platform for signing undrafted rookies, I agree. I'll get back to you soon! |

The NBA just added the two way contracts which essentially increases the roster size to 17. We could actually have a sort of 3rd round in a separate thread where the worst team in the league can put down a name of a "summer league" invitee, the next worst team can invite someone and so on, others can skip if they choose to. If, after the real life summer league someone wants to have rights to the player they just have to claim them in a separate summer league rights thread and boom. The team who invited the player gets dibs on signing the player when they come to the NBA, if they choose not to sign them they just go to regular FA pool like now. Woulda been sweet to have this for Delly way back. |

@riogho Jeremiah Hill Hanamichi SakuragiI think it would be best to keep the signing of undrafted rookies the same way it is now: If an undrafted rookie plays in the NBA and you want to sign them, create a Stock Watch thread, the player will eventually be created, then it will go to regular season free agency. It's not as exciting but it sure does reduce the extra work on Walt and me. |

It would be annoying to set it up this season and with such little notice, but it would be just as simple as making an extra thread. We'd still have to wait for the player to end up in the NBA to actually have them created it wouldn't create an extra load based on that. I would keep it in mind for next season. |

Could you really forgive yourself if you passed on the chance to draft the next Celtics superstar?  I assumed you were going Tatum as soon as Adam Silver called his name. The only reason Jackson wasn't part of the discussion in Boston was because he messed Danny Ainge around and refused to try out for the Celtics, even made Ainge and Stevens fly all the way to Sacramento before cancelling. If he had not have done that - would Josh Jackson be a Celtic right now? It's possible. But stiffing the Celtics brass was another one of Jackson's personality red-flags. Jayson Tatum has a good personality and is going to a Celtics team where he will encounter the work ethics of that team, it's a much better situation in terms of development, and it's a much better situation in terms of visibility and fame and success. On the other hand Josh Jackson has that ultra-aggressive, blindly-arrogant streak that Russell Westbrook has, and whilst that can be destructive it's not necessarily a bad thing. Jackson is a quick-twitch, explosive, aggressive, defensive wing who might develop a jump shot, might take over in Phoenix this year and be a franchise player. Tatum is a smooth playing, offensively crafty wing who might fill out into his shoulders like Anthony Davis did and also be a franchise player in a few years time when he finally gets the minutes. What was once the easiest choice to make in this draft has become the most difficult! To be honest I've been trying to target Isaiah Thomas as a trade target with this pick, not so that I can keep Thomas but because there's one other player I could probably get if I traded Thomas on, but JR Wiles is a tough nut to crack - if anyone can help me get IT, let me know Ian currently pretending that he was never super high on JJ |
