First: If he did, can YOU gaurentee the trade goes through?

Second: If he adds a pick and the trade goes through, can we be sure it's because of the added pick and not because MB has had a moment of clarity?

Third: Why the hell should he add a pick. The trade is not outlandish; doesn't upset the balance of the league; and has taken place between two managers who know: what they're doing, what their needs are, and what they're willing to spend.

In short -if you're going to instruct on what to do (Is lobby less offensive?) why not instruct/lobby Mike and not act as his apologist every time his decisions get challanged.
