There is no salary cap here, so there is no need for teams to trade for talent from fa, shoulda just signed them

it's such a stupid restriction. i get it for one-year deals so guys don't game ootp. but why isn't it a viable strategy to sign and trade players on multiyear deals? why do you have to wait three months? you don't have to do it for anyone else you acquire in any fashion. it's a rule that doesn't address a problem. guys change their minds about players/their direction all the time. FA signees are the only group for which youre stuck with your decision for half a season. d-u-m-b.

since there is no need for teams to trade for talent thru fa why not just restrict fas from being traded all together?

In FBB teams can't send an offer if they don't have cap, here, only if you financially cannot support it can you not send an offer (or the guy doesn't like you, which would be quite weird dealing a guy right after signing a multi year deal to a team he refused to sign with)

if you wanna sign and flip a guy, you should be free to. no reason FA should only be for teams looking to win.

It prevents tanking teams with lots of cash from tossing around said cash just to trade/unload prior the season without facing some penalty

If losing more is that big of a concern, why are you not holding onto your fas anyway

If you sign an fa to a multiuser deal, but can't stand holding onto him for even 3 months, you really had no business signing him anyway
