Can't disagree with that. Put a timetable on that. I was thinking if they give such a short timetable for ALL FA's, then the GM's are screwed. If you put a timetable on the limit of a max (or X dollar amount) of a FA signing, then it would help most everyone.
However, the max player is forced to make a huge life decision with a tough timetable (although it's done all the time in the corporate world)

Not necessarily that, but I doubt if anyone in his camp was checking out the Cleveland Cavalier website until Lebron opted out and Cleveland became a viable option. So it definitely could've been there for a minute and Lebron wouldn't have known until recently
