TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[dynamicalVoid]

How do you intend to get that done with the current payroll, roster and draft pick situation?

Thats what I am saying.  Why set the team up to where you have to be a cap contortionist to get things done?  Sure...being able to do those math moves in a good skill...but having your team in a position where you have to be able to do those moves to get anything done seems like it hurts your team or limits the types or amounts of trades you can do because you are in a tight spot with cap/assets.

I assume someones going to defend with "thats modern GMing" or "its cutting edge...it is what it is" without talking about the backend negatives to that type of philosophy.  It sounds good on paper to cut corners by not having to hold rookies hands for 2 or 3 years and just go after plug and play vets...but there are team hindering repercussions long term.
