Buyout for Newbies

[itnas123]

Should we have 1 buyout for every GM that has a really bad contract inherited by the GM before them?


They have to pay $400-$500

Atlantic Division:
BOS - B Town, MIA - Username, NJN - redrum741, ORL - shorty, PHI - crazyguy2010, WAS - celticfan

Midwest Division:
DAL - lottoboundjazz, DEN - , HOU - Flip, MIN - rookieoftheyear, SAS - gotmelk0490, UTA - gmgreggor, MEM - wassabi

Pacific Division:

[thecommish]

[rookieoftheyear]

[gmgreggor]

[malice]

Nuh-uh.

[tyfreak]

Maybe if they have to pay something like $500?

[itnas123]

yeah forgot to add the $ part.

I was going to put like $400-$500

[itnas123]

Edited by the way

[celticfan]

nope

Thing is, it's difficult to ascertain someone's experience. Where do you draw the line for something like this? I imagine this idea would be awesome for someone who's never played a sim before, and walks into a team with an albatross, but someone who IS experienced will be able to work around it. But where would you draw the line in *experience*?

Too fuzzy for me. That's why I voted 'no'.

Thanks for the insight malice. I really appreciate it and I must agree you are right where do we draw the line. 



shorty shut this down. this is a no.

I think this should go through. If you have enough cash, you should be able to buyout a contract.

Only conditions would be:

one buyout per season
$300-400 per million left on contract. So, if there's $5M left, you'd have to pay $1500-2000

Very Interesting concept you proposed here Flip. I sort of like it now. LOL

See... I don't even like that idea: as teams that are successful tend to be the ones that are loaded $$$-wise too, add to that, they're often the ones with more money to spend (not needing to spend as much money on young players/scouting).  I'd be a bit worried about this creating an even greater divide in success.

[gotmelk0490]

naww

[shorty]

I think it's reasonable.

Well, that would just make GM cash more valuable. To be a successful team, just like the NBA, you gotta have some good money and money management

[crazyguy2010]

I didn't get one why should they?

I think anyone should be able to buy out contracts. It should be expensive, and the cash doled out to the lotto teams.

Hmmm... I kinda like this.
What about if all buyout money gets pooled, and divided amongst teams who didn't buy out a player during the season?

I'd maintain the stipulation that only lotto teams got the pay outs.

My only problem with this is that teams aren't necessarily bad, just choosing to be bad... I think well-managed teams - be they good or bad standings-wise - should reap the benefits.

Lol this clearly fails then. Good voting turnout.
