I am still the newest member of this league, so making suggestions may sound a bit bold but I just wanted to share my opinions.
I am sure all the rules has been discussed thoroughly but these rookie salaries do not make sense at all for me. I believe the rookie salaries shall be decided based on where they are selected in hatecity draft not in real NBA draft.
Another suggestion is, I think the owner of an RFA eligible player shall make a bid for his own player for 5 years during the blind bid sequence.

Everybody can make suggestions buddy, this is a democratic league! We have discussed heavily about the rookie contract mirroring (The one where SA flipped out ). My take is that we will mirror rookie contracts according to where we drafted them from now on, but this will be decided and announced officially. Your second point does not make much sense to me, it is already really hard to pry away an RFA, it would be impossible if the owner had the 5 years - which would make the whole RFA procedure unnecessary. But if you can explain the benefits in detail i might rethink. be well

OK. What I was trying to say is during the blind bidding, the owner of the RFA player will make a bid for his own player just like any other owner, the only difference is he will be able to make an offer for 5 years. If he doesn't have the highest bid, he will have to match the highest bid (both duration and money wise, he will not be able to use his 5 year offer privilege in order to match the highest bid). This might give an advantage to the owner but since he himself will bid blindly he can get himself in a situation where he will pay his player more than he would if he remained silent and just match the highest bid. Anyway I thought this can spice things up a bit but I agree RFAs will be harder to get for other people. Btw this is not something I come up with, other leagues that I am in are using this rule. Just wanted to share some ideas that I thought worth sharing

Hmmm so please help me understand this, if he doesn't have the highest bid and can still match the highest bid, the only point of the 5th year is to allow to the RFA holder more financial flexibility right? I, personally, like the current system cause it gives an advantage to the RFA holder but at the same time it put hims in a position where he is vulnerable both to reasonable and to flat out monstrous offers. If we allow him to bid with a 5th year in place then the only option for the rest of the managers will be to overpay in order to grab the RFA away. Regardless, if there is more support for Boston’s proposal we could put this into a vote in the off-season.

i agree about the rookie salaries.
i would also like to suggest that we give the trade committee the right to veto a trade if they believe that it hurts the league. but we all have to agree that there is a chance our trade is canceled (and not creating a havoc about it). personally i'm down for it
