LegalEagle - you keep doing the same thing. Harper signed a five year deal for WHAT????? He made $15M yr1, & 17M in yr2 before his options kicked in? It's appropriate $$$ for a traditionally small market team, and who knows, maybe Harper is fascinated with surfing/surfboarding?? While it is rare, it is not unheard of giving a "hometown discount" or knowing that the opt-out gives the player a mulligan to sign elsewhere for Daddy Warbucks money!!! I too have a financial background and know GAAP. GAAP by itself doesn't influence money ###'s, its the handbook of how to do it honestly! I can overlook the $$ issues and play OOTP19 for the most part, because reality is what I'm escaping from when playing, not dragging reality kicking and screaming into my gaming world!!! <grin>
