Brian,
If you take a trade that includes 20 players (don't laugh, I've seen them) and 10 draft picks, and cut it into 3 trades that can be looked at with some semblance of sanity; the end result may very well be that all 3 trades go through, This means: There was no limitation on player movement. Yes, the pocess was delayed a little. But, teams can still trade every freakin player they have 10 times over for all I care. Every draft pick in the league can pass through they're grubby little fingers. I don't care. It is (and, once again, this is on only my opinion) the mega-trade that increase the oppportunity for the shark to eat the minnow
