horsefeathers it. make trades all you want. you post stuff like this every year and then start negotiating while most teams aren't and then the second trades are allowed, boom you have a trade already worked out. so whatever. anyone can trade whenever with whomever. knock yourselves out. i don't know how many slots we have to fill, but it's a lot. maybe 4-5. can everyone post here if they're planning to manage again next year?
