My work is starting it's first day at a new building on Monday, so hopefully our PC's will be up and running. Either way I pm'd Glenn my list for the Clippers in case.

[Glenn]

Wizzle is up with New Orleans

[Glenn]

Ledezma - Sacramento

ON THE CLOCK

Take your time, I'm guessing that we won't be seeing Laxation for a while.

Updated to reflect Toronto/Minnesota trade.

How was that trade allowed? Craig Smith can't be traded. He's going to be a free agent.

I realize we're not being as strict with the rules on this draft, and I don't have a problem with that. But this crosses the line, IMO. Someone could theoretically trade for Kwame Brown and get a whole bunch of cap space, and that obviously isn't legal. Plus a GM can't decide to sign and trade a player alone. That is as much on the player and his agent as it is for the GM.

I think you should only be able to trade players that can actually be traded. If everyone disagrees, then I'll just make my picks and keep my mouth shut.

[Glenn]

Uh oh.

I had a feeling that allowing trades had the potential to backfire.

You make some great points there, shags.

I think we have to disallow this trade on those grounds.

Anyone disagree?

[jturbo]

He's restricted, you can sign and trade those guys. This trade is legitimate.

[Glenn]

The hard part for me is assuming that Smith would be willing to go along with it. That's a pretty big leap.

As a restricted free agent, starting July 1 he can go out and sign an offer sheet with another team and then it's up to Minny to match, not match or work out a sign and trade with that other team.

Also, the free agency signing period hasn't begun yet, so it couldn't even happen now, if I am not mistaken.

Again, I'm no expert, so I may have some details wrong here, but I think that is the crux of the problem.
