I can't believe someone took my clippers. I'm distraught.

I guess I'll have to be the Lakers. Gross.

edit: If anyone really wants the Lakers I will gladly switch to a different team

From past seasons I think it's less about when you bid. I tried saving late one year and ended up having to spend a ton of cash just competing with people who were also saving.

There absolutely is a point where spending deflates and prices go down. Because the total amount of roster spots and funds for the league is effectivly capped (30k and 450, respectivly) there is an expectation that every roster spot, on average, will cost $66.66 (repeating of course) dollars and that roster spots and dollars will be spent at roughly the same relative rate.

This has not been the case so far, the league has spent 17.78% of the cap on 12.2% of the roster spots. Prices, quite literally, have to go down as we have outspent the rate we would expect to be at by over 5.5%. This isnt tenable and the average price of a player going forward is already down to $62.44. It will probably be around 60$ by the end of the day.

A big part of what brings that down is the number of $1 or even $0 FA guys that bring that average down, but don't meaningfully improve a team, and tend to bunch up at the end.

We also had the last 2 MVPs show up in the first three days.

Sure, that's why I said roughly, There can be outlier days with more talent.

But for every end of bench player signed for a dollar on day 15 we have 52 bucks spent on Dalano Banton on day 2. We aren't overspending because of Jimmy Butler and KAT, we're overspending becasue of Marko Simonovic, Georgi Dieng and Nic Batum.

I think JaVale at $75 was way more of an overpay than Dieng at $30 lol

I mean, I could have listed a lot of dudes.

Paying more than 5-10 bucks for end of the bench dudes is just flat out dumb

Yeah this idea that Monte morris is some amazing player perplexes me. He's fine. He has literally 0 value defensivly and doesnt hurt you on offense but that is literally it.

Look, he's a 27 years old, his only skill is being 7'2" and he played 100 minutes of NBA basketball last season. His potential is through the roof!
