Right the fans. I wonder through how many illegal trades the league office had to go through and reject/alter, cause even the nerds in the front offices, couldn´t keep track anymore of all the rules.

Maybe. More likely though is that they just signed that massive new TV deal and want to get more and more eyeballs on the games. That's why the NFL exploded was a combination of parity and fantasy football. NBA is just trying to follow suit.
