2031-2032 Free Agent List

[Ramcus]

Now I don't have the fancy charts and lists that Flaming Homer can make, but there is a decent crop of free agents this time around. A lot of veterans who can make a big difference to a team in search of the lift that they need to propel them to where they want. Let's take a look.

Point Guards
Stars

Trae Young - A Top Three 3 point shooter in the league, versatile in all facets.
Shaquille Harrison - One of the best defenders in the league at his position, with solid offensive efficiency. A prototype two-way point guard
Role Players

Very strong FA class when nobody has cap space... We really need to fix that as a league, cap space creates competition which is important!

Free agency system is broken, one way that may help and hopefully help price drive some of these free agents is to limit how long contracts can go for.

But the game only allowing you to make 1 offer for the amount of money you have is terrible, you should be allowed to offer 3 guys and the first one that signs gets the money. Way too many free agent discounts

Willy, you know what to do


Regarding no cap space. I have no problem with it. As we all knew about this a few years ago and teams still overpaid for talent lol.

a lot of weight on willys shoulders and he doesnt even have the game.

most GMs overpaid because theyd be over the soft cap anyway. We just dont have a friendly system for cap space teams so why would anyone want to be a cap space team? This wont change unless the soft cap is raised. It needs to be a gradual increase. 2m per year for about 5 years.

Strong list indeed, sadly we won't be an FA player this Period. We'll be looking closely to those vet min though lol

[Silogical]

It needs to be hammered in or it will fly away and come back as a player agent.

Ha I did what I could do about the Wiseman offer at least and given the space I have and what I'm looking to do with my team.

And yeah the only reason why I even made that offer is because I could see it. I don't really want Wiseman lol

But I understand why LAC made such an offer because no one else can really afford to.

*Hopefully Wiseman's agents don't hold that against us lol We want James

[hardenwithnod]

This is a nice FA class for sure, definitely wish I had cap space lol.

Lol sorry

It's just that $10M + raises was just too egregious, had it been higher I wouldn't have done it

No worries, I will jump in too if someone really gets too cute

Sounds good homer!

I don't wanna tie up my cap doing that and actually miss out on someone I may really really want lol

Yep this is why I just offered everyone what they asked. Y'all better take whatever discount they're willing to give. lol I hate how stressful NBA FA is. NFL FA is relaxing by comparison lol

[cb4raptorscb4]

It will be interesting to see how many RFAs end up settling for their QO and become UFAs next year

[Dylan]

Seems like a nice offseason to have some cap space to pair someone with a certain reigning rookie of the year...

[Rizzo]

Every Brooklyn free agent is seemingly on this list. Should make my job that much easier to run it back...

[hardenwithnod]

Loving the rumor update from the game, lots of good UFAs left still.
