How can I increase player morale?

I'm doing an association with my Blazers and I'm sitting B-Roy out and as I figured he'd start getting upset. I was just wondering if there was a little trick to increase his morale?

Thanks.

After messing around a little bit, I found a way that worked for me.

I just resigned as GM of Portland and then came back and it worked. Still interested in any other tricks you guys may know of.

I am only able to get consistent success with the flick-flick if I take my thumb off the right stick in between flicks. My technique is to let my thumb slip off the side of the stick and quickly grab the stick for the second flick. Hold left trigger through the entire process and hold the right stick on the second flick.

A cool one to work on in practice mode is the dream shake / rondo turnaround. Run across the key and flick the stick in the opposite direction of your momentum (the opposite direction of the left stick). This does NOT require the rondo layup package and is hard enough that if you get it down you will be pretty good at flick-flicks.

My team has -$17m in cap room, how is this possible? I have a poor understanding of the NBA's salary cap.

When you sign someone you have an option of 5% back or 10% back. What does this mean?

The cap room can happen as a result of signing players that have Bird Rights, which basically means you can sign them even if you're over the cap limit.

The 5% back or 10% back thing changes how much the players get each year. When you change between the two you'll notice that (for example) a player might originally be getting $15 million each year for 3 years and then you change to 10% back and it might be 20 mill year 1 15 mill year 2 and 10 mill year 3.

Okay, here's a question. Yao wants a new contract, and he's a Bird player. Does that mean if I extend him his new deal doesn't apply to the cap, or it does to the salary cap?

I want to re-sign him, but I also want to go after Chris Paul in free agency. If I extend Yao though with almost any deal it says my 2011-2012 cap room is $6M.

You can go over the cap to sign Yao (or any Bird player you have rights to). to sign Pul or any other free agents you'll need "real" cap room. I'm sure 6 mil won't cut it.
