Yes there is a point in arguing because if a situation comes up and a ruling is made than that is how similar issues should be ruled in the future. Its not fair to do anything else.
And LBJ4MVP, please spare me the knitpicking nonsense. If the problem with the pick being traded was a simple language issue it would have been dealt with and the trade would have gone through. But the problem was not the language it was the pick I tried to trade. Period.

I also find this to be complete bullcrap. You can't reject one trade for reason A and then approve another trade when it has a stronger case of reason A. It's flat out rediculous and this needs to be reviewed by Bryant08, because unfortunately it's clear that these two wern't on the same page with this rule.

You've seen the trade so you probably have seen the responses. If all we had to do was twist the language of the pick to make it work we would have been told as much and the trade would have been made. I hate to bust your balls so much but if my trade was rejected a few words shouldn't protect yours from the same fate. Things just have to be fair.

Its the principle of the manner. I'm a stubborn guy and until Bryant08 says any different I am going to stick to my point. If my trade was rejected a few extra words shouldn't keep yours from being rejected. There must be consistancy in the rulings.

He has authority because Bryant08 gave him authority and therefore he does not have as much authority.
Once again, I don't want to bust your balls or dominate the thread anymore than I have to but until Bryant08 comes in and says different I am still going to fight it because it isn't fair.

I think that technicalities definitely must be met otherwise what is the point of being fantasy GMs? If we throw away the real CBA trade rules then what's the point of playing? The real NBA says you can't trade a pick if you've already traded it, so why doesn't our game? Why are we deviating from the CBA rules?
Besides this, I feel that double standards are being used here. For a start, knickfan's trade was vetoed with almost the exact same issue where he traded a pick which was already traded. This is quite a major technicality as you just CAN'T do that in real life, and the only reason there is no rule for it is because you can't trade consecutive 1sts and thus it isn't possible to re-trade a pick. As of right now, Minnesota owns the Miami pick. They won't get it. However, Miami simply CANNOT trade that pick until draft day.
And it's not as if technicalities have not been looked after up until this trade. During my trade with PHX and HOU, none of us were allowed to go over the roster limit even for a bit, we weren't allowed to trade to the point where we had more than 15 players even if we were waiving them right after. The deal had to be altered and the CBA part of it worked around. That technicality was not rescinded in our deal. Why should this technicality be rescinded in this deal? Why are we giving MIA and SAC special benefits? If they can work this around the CBA then great! But as it stands now there should be no way this deal is allowed. We followed the CBA up until this deal, we should keep following it and not make exceptions.

Wow, so when I point out that you aren't following your own rules and have other people agree with me I am making useless posts. Maybe Bryant picked the wrong guy to help him because not only are you screwing up the rules but you also insult people who point it out.
