Allan Houston Rule

anybody knows if the Allan Houston Rule (amnesty rule) will be in the game?

or the mid-level exception?



I know that most of the news are about the new freestyle...but I´m just wondering....


Knicks please get a good Center...

other thing...does anybody knows where is Keon Clark?

later

most likly we wont see the MLE this year. i hope we see it some day but i am sure thats another 3-4 years off with the way EA progresses its dynasty.

i dont think that rule will be implemented yet....and keon is still a free agent asking for about 7 mil per year

EDIT: just a thought sauru....why is yer avatar of bird that damn big i thought the size limit is 90x90

I'm not sure about the MLE, but I'm pretty sure the amnesty clause won't be a part of Dynasty Mode.

I reckon it's because he had that avatar before Andrew implemented the Avatar Size rule.

have you guys notice that Quentin Richardson is still playing for the suns in that video i hope there gonna fix that he is a new yorker know. HEHEHEHEHEHEHE and i hope they gonna pay houston out so they will save about 50 mill for new players.Then K. KLARK can have his 9 mill.

OK they fixed it in that new video Quentin Richardson is at the new york roster

I dont anything about the "Allan Houston rule" but I do know that Knicks have an agreement with Jerome James and he will prob start at C.

The amnesty rule is a one off. This is the only time that it will exist.

what's the point in bringin in the amnesty rule when it only affects the "luxury tax" of the franchise and does not relief any salary cap space?

just fyi: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&id=2112912


Q: Does the contract of an amnesty player drop off a team's payroll?

A: No. And the provision provides only luxury-tax relief, with no salary-cap relief. So a team can't release a player to gain cap space.

Exactly Voxel.

And I agree with Sauru and his feelings about EA's progression of dynasty mode.

MLE could change free agency by leaps and bounds.

na they fixed it, in the 2 new videos q is in a ny jersey (note to self,thank u god 4 getting some1 2 replace allen houston )

The Allan Houston rule is only for the luxury tax. They don't have that in Live, so they don't need the rule.

WTF is Alan Houston rule ?

It's a nickname for a one-time provision in the new collective bargaining agreement between the league, the owners and the player's association which will allow teams to release a player so his salary doesn't count towards the luxury cap (thus sparing teams from paying an expensive luxury tax). However, the team must still pay out his contract and it continues to count against the salary cap.

As a couple of people have already pointed out, since the luxury cap/tax isn't in NBA Live there's no need for the clause to be part of Dynasty Mode.

yeah what do u mean by Allan Houston rule?I cant relate pls be specific.

He just was specfic. Try and read it properly.

explain it to me plssss.

wtf? it's right there in andrew's post

what the hell do you need? a 50 page dissertation on a one-time rule?

Yeah pls just summarized it 4 me can u do it???I need further explaination about Houston Rule...

Can't get much more basic than that. The reason it's being nicknamed the Allan Houston Rule is because the Knicks are the most likely team to take advantage of it, to waive Allan Houston.

ahhhhh gud to have Andrew woooooww tnx 4 answering my question.
