I also agree with the time frame set to agree to an NBA extension... this would formalize that into a time period instead of 'before the contract is updated'. I think it should be an 'opt-out' window instead of 'opt-in' which would reward activity and not alter the landscape too much.

The rules page also needs streamlined, and also there are some things that aren't on the page at all.

because it leads to stagnation. Teams get muddied down and thus less active. I’m fine with the contract staying on, but only once. And if another team picks up the player, they should come right off the books of the the team. it the issue was guys cycling through players with drops and pick ups then instead of bogging down the salaries and screwing people over for 4 years, just say: “No team can sign a player that has been dropped/bought out, to which they still owe salary to. “ There, no teams get harshly penalized and it stops abusive practices. Also, why do the exceptions disappear at the start of the season? What’s the negative of keeping them so teams can actually bid on guys above the min through out the year? The issue is we had Teams cutting massive contracts and working shady deals to have someone sign the players and make those cut contracts vanish. You can argue that it doesn’t matter but it does. That’s why the current rule was put in place. I do think there is way to make it work, just needs discussed. Interesting I've never even thought of doing that. Also I'm in a situation where I HAD to drop Dedmon again. I picked him up hoping to recoup some value so I wouldn't just be wasting dead money, and this guy gets annexed out of the league.. didn't really see that coming after he signed a 13mil a year deal, now he's on my books for 32mil over 2 years.. I think that's pretty wild. I'm cap struck and handcuffed with a contract I can't use it's like the NFL. So I would like this to be addressed at some point. Not just because I'm an idiot and maybe shouldn't have picked him back up, but also it simply doesn't make a lot of sense.

There’s no reason anyone should be paying for someone twice, or paying for someone who was picked up by another team.
If I owe Bob 8/8/8 and cut him, and someone else signs him for min/8/8. Then the first year should stay on my books but the second and third should Go to them.

So I could cut Harrison Barnes if he's gorna short game week. Pick him up the following week and do that a couple more times, and just owe him one contract at the end of the season

Agree - this could be 72 hours from the time the deadline for rookie-scale extensions is in the NBA. Agree that the default is that the extension is applied unless a team opts out and the player becomes a FA next year. As for the in-season, non-rookie extensions, I think it has been always been in place for the league from the trade deadline onward. I would open that up to the full season, but perhaps give the manager slightly more time to decide.

Again, and not trying to make Panthers an example here, but think before you make the signing the first (and second) time. Another thing to discuss if we make this rule change, is if 100% of the dead salary (rather than 60%) should stay on a team's books if cut.

Ya. I could see in the situation of signing a guy multiple times, maybe not having the salary twice but at least having the full salary on the books

You simply say you can’t resign a player you’ve released this season.

You could also add a covenant of a player signed to a team must stay with the team for X period of time, ie: 2 weeks or a month. It stops cycling if that is deemed problematic

So if you drop someone you can't resign them, or if you do there is a penalty for re-dropping them, like having their dead salary, lol
Also, something to consider, one of the few benefits of being under the cap is you could sign someone off of a teams cut list. This would take away some of that
