From Season 33 News: The BB commission has decided to revisit and simplify Free Agency again. The new prerequisites are: at least 60 skill points and a salary no higher than $60 000.

The reason many of Thylacine's high salary players are still on his roster is above. I'm neutral to this decision but does anyone know the logic behind that?

i hadn't given a thought to the change, in part because i have seen frequent exceptions. for example, (23095779). or (31225778) or (25425927)

thylacine's roster has some nice players -- too bad. by reducing the supply of such players, i can't see how this does anything but push prices for top talent even higher.

NT players become free-agents even if outside the >60 skill points and salary <$60k parameters. The second guy you list fits the requirements, with a $47k salary and 119 skill points

Multiple seasons of people complaining regardless of what approach was taken likely led to this. A big issue seemed to be that the prior parameters mostly sent players to FA who the top league teams could use, while too many mid-level players or solidly trainable players would retire. The current parameters appear to be intended to fill what is perceived as a "gap" in the type of players who are normally placed on the transfer list by active teams.

thanks for both correcting my error (what's $13,000 among friends?) and clearing this up.

i still see no reason why this will not increase pricing pressures for players suitable for this level, which means that light i see at the end of the tunnel is a bit more clearly a train heading my way . . .

i suppose conclusions should be avoided until we see what the wealth tax looks like.

I've always valued the NBBA title over the cup. However, as much as it pains me to toss league games...I'm not one to pass up money. I want that cash prize.

Thanks :-)

That was a weird game tonight though. I am sure G Khan was frustrated with all the fouling 30-13 resulting in a 47-14 advantage in free throw attempts for my team...and then I am sure he was really steaming at the end of the game with all 5 of his starters on the bench in a tight game for almost all of the final 4 minutes of the game.

I'll gladly take the win...but weird way to arrive at it.
