hey im in the same position..

just think of it the other way.... after the deadline im sure players values will fall as they are ineligible til the start of the new season.. so you can get more for your TV money!!

im sure it will be the same for everyone over the course of 3-4seasons..

Actually, I'd prefer the trade deadline to be moved up to about game #16 or #18.

as long as its the same rule for all... we'll get used to it.. for most of us this is our first season and money is tight so every little helps!

If you're relying on TV money to be competitive in the playoffs, your team probably isn't good enough to make a deep run anyways.

The deadline has been known for awhile now, and there's been plenty of time to plan.

The TL orgy that is going on right now will dissipate once the deadline passes, and you'll be able to use that TV money to get a bargain for next season.

Juicepats defends daytrading on the ground that stuff shouldn't be forbidden without a clear reason


That's not quite what I said.

Without rehashing that thread, there's a difference between defending something and not really being concerned about something.

No, but it was a part of it.

I just want to make sure we're clear on my position.

You might get someone (probably not, but who knows) that says "OMG THAT JERKWAD JOOCE LOVES DAYTRADERS!!!1!!11ONE1!!1!1"

Just covering my ass.

Teams that have clinched a position, might want to TIE the last game. Those who do not have a TV game aren't concerned about possibly losing to a weaker team. Those who do have a TV game face the danger of losing supporters throughout the playoffs (if they do TIE), or the loss of enthusiasm (if they do)


I suppose that's something that should be considered.

If it was set up so that TV games could not come in the last week of the season, it wouldn't really hurt my feelings.

If it stays the same, it really wouldn't bother me all that much either.

For the record, my last game, which I will be TIEing since it doesn't matter for seeding, is a TV game.

I never said I was relying on the money at all I was saying that other people are and that. My team is 18-2 and has been TIEing for the playoffs for well over a month without dropping a game, and I don't really need a 'superstar' player when I have a NT player and 2 borderline NT players and I'm losing money because my salaries are so high. The trade deadline doesn't really affect me much (I was planning on spending half on a player and half on an arena upgrade) but it does to a lot of people. Obviously a lot of teams will buy a superstar with their TV money just before the playoffs anyway which puts us at a disadvantage.

Plenty of time to plan? Plan around how most other teams have a $300k advantage going into the playoffs you mean? or at least they could buy players before the TL prices soar.

And yes I was planning on using the TV money on a player for next season anyway, but that doesn't make the trade deadline fair.

Edit: typos...
