Salary cap issues?

[Caius101]

So... I started a myleague as the Knicks and well, I was offered Whiteside for Kanter and another player, so I took it, since it was almost at the trade deadline...

Anyway... I know I'm losing Whiteside as he's chosen to Test FA this year (it's the season after I traded for him) and Porzingis is 'undecided' and expects 25.10 million. Would I be better off trading Whiteside to make sure I can get Porzingis resigned?

Also... how should I try to balance the salary cap? 1-2 players at 20+ million? Then aim for 5 million or less at the other positions?

Right now I have...

Porzingis at 5.7m
Whiteside at 25.5m
Hardaway Jr at 18m
Gay at 10m
Hernangomez at 1.5m
Ntilikina at 4.16m
Gibson at 3.7m

Everyone else is a 74 or lower...

Anyway... it just seems that in the FA at the season end every player that's 80+ wants 22-35 million... and I barely kept my team together. The one player I added was Rudy Gay, even then at 80 overall, I'm wondering if I made a mistake giving him 10 million. >_>

You should be able to keep Porzingis as you should have his Birdrights and thus should be able to sign him even when you are over the salary cap.

If you have the bird rights you can go after Whiteside in FA, but if not then trade him for cap space or longer contracts. Theres little to no chance to retain Whiteside if you dont have his bird rights.

How do you see if you have his bird rights in the game?

Also, go hawks!

**** the hawks

Spoiler

Go to the player page where you see all the stats and ratings etc, scroll over to contract and it should list his bird years.

But say you traded for someone? Do they automatically carry over?

Also, it's okay little brother

Yes, Bird rights carry over after a trade

Alright, guys. Thanks. I'll have to see if I have Whiteside's bird rights or not.
