Is this a situation wherein the best course of action would be to simply allow negotiations to begin earlier, or would any such change simply result in aggressive agents/gm's starting even earlier, at even more inappropriate times?
It seems like the point of all this is to give every team and player a fair and equal opportunity to compete for upgrades/jobs, and I'm not sure the people who follow the league actually care all that much about how this is accomplished. Is it even possible?
Moving official dates just moves when tampering will occur. The only "solution" is to get rid of the rules all together save for the trade deadline.

How many other teams and players would that affect in terms of subsequent deals? And what would the market for Ball and Lowry look like now that all of the FA money is already spoken for?
I sorta love it.
It's probably what should happen and exactly why it will not happen. It would effect too many dominoes.
