Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS
For those interested...If you've noticed there have been quite a few significant players signed to extensions/exercised 09-10 options; guys who would otherwise become FA's in the 2009 or 2010 offseason.

Players are as follows:

Extensions:
Jason Maxiell - 4yr $20 mil
Andrew Bynum - 5yr $57.4 mil
Danny Grainger - 5yr $60-64 mil (I decided on $62m)
Martell Webster - 4yr $20 mil

Edit each of the above players' contract's via player edit in your association. Add the amount of yrs to the existing contract; how you decide to disburse the money over the amount of yrs is up to you. I can show you how I did it for each player, but I'm at work right now so I can't provide this infor until later tonight at the earliest.

-FYI- When you look at the players contract it should have the existing yr as is, and the 4 to 5 yrs you added (depending on who it was) w/ the money they should get over that span.

The only player I haven't done so far is Webster.

Exercised Options:
Brandan Wright - Exercised
Marcus Williams - Declined
Marco Bellinelli - Exercised
Rudy Gay - Exercised
Kyle Lowry - Exercised
Mike Conley - Exercised
Jarvaris Crittenton - Exercised
Sean Williams - Exercised
Renaldo Balkman - Exercised
Corey Brewer - Exercised
Randy Foye - Exercised
Ian Mahinmi - Exercised
Rajon Ronda - Exercised

In order to have these players whose 2009-10 options were exercised stay/leave their respective teams. Go into their contract and where it says 'OPTION' change it to none. The money should remain in the 2nd yr regardless, and instead of having an option for that 2nd yr they now are signed thru that yr.

The only guy I've done so far is Rondo. For Marcus Williams I'm thinking you can take OFF his 'Option', and then zero out his 2nd yr.

I'll be doing the rest of the 'Exercised Options' tonight in my association.
