I can argue both sides of this no problem. Bottom line is there are no WRITTEN rules about what we were doing with summer trades. And I want to clarify why there are no written JBL rules - because as soon as you write something down - someone tries to find a loophole around it. Never fails.
So...let me throw some random thoughts around this whole scenario...
- should we really be too concerned that Benny has decided to bring back an aging PG for $18 dollars?? (It's not like he has Lebron for $10 bucks)
- my initial feeling were "No Benny, you dropped him, you don't get him back now" - but again, we never discussed if this was an option.
- our initial plan, which occurred, was to get every team down to a maximum of 5 players before trades began. That worked. Seemed fair.
- Looking at this now, in a loophole sense, I should try to trade all 4 of my guys for one superstar keeper - then bring back D-Wade. Would that be fair? I don't think so...I wouldn't do it...it's not in the spirit of the JBL in my eyes.
- did Benny bring Bibby back because I had to re-sign Turkoglu for Boston after mistakenly dropping him from the roster? (in this case, I re-signed Turkoglu to Boston's roster about 14 seconds after I dropped him. In Benny's case, Bibby was re-signed about 3 weeks after)
- should we really have off-season trading? Does that take away from the draft or league? I don't know.
Anyways, I am interested to see what the JBL owners vote for on Timmy's poll. In my opinion, if I had the ultimate decision, I don't think Benny should have been allowed to bring Bibby back. That being said - I am not overly concerned about it. Bibby really isn't worth fighting over is he? Is Benny's team significantly better for having Mike Bibby for $18 dollars. I don't know.
Anyways, this time next week...we'll all be in heaven.
