Well, I don't think that could be "silly" use the NBA system about contracts. I try to explain like example:
$5,144,280
$5,375,760
$5,607,240-T
$7,070,730-T
Q-$9,191,949
This is Irving salary. I won't speak about Qualifying Offer or Team Option or what else, but.. I draft 1 player with a wage, max 3 seasons contract. After that I will renegotiate his contract like BB value decide (in order to skills improvements). I want him: new contract for max 3 season (salary growth, but not about skills improvements.. but contract year improvements). I don't want him. He will go in the market. This could be AN option, not THE option.. but, why don't think about changing something?!
It's all "motionless". Anyway it's my personal (and as I see, not only mine..) opinion about some economy problems. If I should stay everyday on transfer page, pop and sell, gain 100.000, do that for many times during the season.. it will be surely boring to ME, may be you or someone could have fun on doing this.
I personally prefere to have Oreste Codardo since season 5! See a player that I drafted, growing and be an important part of my team for 15 seasons. I even see that a 19 years old bought at 2.1M and trained for 9 seasons (until last season) now has a transfer market between 500.000 and 650.000, this is silly :-) but it's only a personal opinion, as I've said, without speaking about my "incompetence" as the Estonian coach would think of me (I've been relegated from II to III with 11 injuries and doctor with lvl5.. unlucky.. not incompetent, I think.. after that I'm not interested so much in this game, if not only for National Team)
