Amending the "Remove a Year off Contract" Option

[ib4]

I am getting rid of the "Remove a year off a contract" Item in the bank....

Instead, we are adapting Brian's "Buyout" rule from his Infinity League:

Buy-out A Player: $1000 per season
Have a contract you absolutely hate? Dread paying? Want the player to just GO AWAY!? Well you can buy out a player for $1000 per season. So if the guy's got 5 years left on his deal? $5000.
But...
Whatever the player's owed for the duration of the deal is cut in half and still will count towards your payroll. So say Shaq is owed $30 million (total) over the next 3 years of his contract. That will be cut in half ($15 million) and will be evened out over the duration of those 3 years ($5 million per) and added to your "cut salaries" and WILL count against your cap. If it cannot be cut in half and rounded into the number of years evenly, it will be rounded down to the nearest dollar amount that'd make it work.




why? I didn't like how you get full cap-relief for a measly $5000. At least the buyout rule is more realistic.

this is effective 2007.

Buyout limitation: teams only have ONE BUYOUT PER SEASON

Also, some buy out examples

example 1:
Player A makes 13M / 14M / 15M
I spend $2000 to buy out his last two years. 14+15 = 29. 29/2 = 14.5...this amount, 14.5 is divided evenly by the the amount of years bought out and counts toward my cut salary.. so Player A becomes a 13M expiring but 7.25 gets charged to Year 2 salary and also Year 3 salary.

example 2:
Player B makes 7M / 8 M / 9 M
I spend $3000 to buyout all 3 years. 7+8+9 = 24 and 24/2 = 12 so 12/3 = 4 so 4 mil is applied to Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 of "cut salary". Player B is removed from my roster and becomes a FA (that I cannot re-sign) that is placed on WAIVERS

Wavier System:
if a player is bought out including year 1, he will be placed on waivers. I will make a thread that will be open for 24 hours. Teams interested in signing the player can bid on the player to join their team (for the minimum) but after 24 hours, the team that posted interest with the then-current highest win% will be awarded the player. (tie breakers: home record, playoff seed, then last years win %) Why? In real life, it is understood that players who are bought-out are typically solid and/or veteran players that want to play for a competitor.
