came up in shout just now
IRL a team can claim only part of a contract that's been waived and the waivor will get only that part taken off their books
it also makes more sense that an overpaid but worthwhile player (let's call him Tay Klompson) shouldn't end up on a min because no one wants to take his overpay contract on
here is the proposal for future waiver wire transactions:
Any team besides the original team can submit a claim to take on all or part of the contract, so long as they have hard cap space to do so and are capable of signing a free agent.
The team with the most total money offered at the end of the wire will get the player.
If tied, the team with the lowest winning % at the end of the wire will get the player.
If still tied, previous seasons will be considered until the tie is broken.
If the player is successfully signed by another team, the original team receives that much less cut salary.
If not, they are treated as any other free agent.
A player that clears waivers has no Bird years.
.
PRO
more realism
more flexibility
less mad dash to sign a player
CON
fear of change
latent racism
i'm leaning pretty heavily towards doing this so speak up soon if you don't want it
