I did not know about the rule about the salary increase. I haven't won in years since that "rule" was put into a effect.

What I do know is last year there were three years listed on his contract on the roster page. If his third year should be priced at 8.71 than so be it. We have had several cases where we post the most up to date contract information at the time it is released where years later we learn of options etc that might shorten it. In those cases I don't recall us ever shortening a contract on VBA. I just wouldn't get the benefit of him signing a new contract if it isn't an extension.

If there were 3 years listed at his contract page, the fact that 2013-2014 season is EXACTLY 110% of the previous year should be one of the biggest coincidences of all time.

Your argument is basically "I remember so" whereas I can also provide the same argument plus I can give you 3 more logical arguments for why Millsap's contract should expire at the end of 2013 - 2014 season. Add them together and it is pretty clear which side's version is more probable.

1) Millsap's contract is never listed anywhere expiring at 2013 - 2014 season. So even though Brian does mistakes with contracts from time to time, he is usually misled by one of the sites he used as a salary source. If there is no site reporting Millsap's contract that way, then Brian couldnt have made that mistake.

2) 2013 - 2014 salary is exactly 110% of what his 2012 - 2013 season, perfectly in line with our argument. It is almost impossible for this number to be a pure coincidence.

3) His 2014 - 2015 salary is exactly what his 2013 - 2014 salary is, again perfectly in line with our argument (being a copy / paste error) and completely contradicts your argument since it should have been 7,92 * 1,10 if your argument was correct

Sorry pal, your memory is misleading you.

By the way, from this point on, I think whoever uses that added prize should specifically indicate what year is added to which player for archiving purposes so we wont have this problem anymore.

Im 100% sure, because it's the only contract in the entire league that doesn't end in "Free Agent".
Because I replaced Free Agent with 7.92 (110%) and then copied 7.92 to add another column.

I knew this summer was going to smoothly

I'm not trying to make the summer go not "smoothly". Asking questions shouldn't be a problem. Could I be wrong about the contract, sure (nobody is perfect). He's a valuable player to my roster and I recall what I said about his years remaining as part of why I choose to add an additional year to his VBA contract. I'm even more glad I decided to add the year after this discussion.

Hey, Im not complaining about anyone complaining. Was just remarking how smoothly this summer is going compared to usual
