I see this as welfare for the large-market teams, who are generally able to create more reward points and often still need cash to finance over-extended roster. How about the opposite? Allow teams to trade in cash for reward points. Those who are responsible in terms of financial management have an opportunity to improve their teams without financing the competition through points for cash trades. While high-performing teams can still disproportionately benefit, the league's history of these trades points to cash being of higher value than points, so it is still an improvement over the status quo. Any takers on this idea? Id be ok with both tbh. Cash for points and points for cash |

I'm against creating money out of thin air. Yep. I'd be ok with the cash for pts trade in. But not the other way around. Especially after just adding a new rule to limit bail outs and a vote where 2 3rds of the league said no to pts/cash trades. |

Id be ok with no money out of this air if we didnt lose money fot clearing too much in a season. |

Not sure what him n Brian decided. |

I also do not like creating money out of thin air. It will just drive contracts up even higher.

We'd have to lock out the players eventually.

We’ve got an expansion team gunning for the East because no one could afford the contracts they had on the books, so what problem are we solving again?
