    No biggie. It's hard for some people to know the proper way to react when someone calls them out on their complete and utter stupidity.

    I am not one of those people because I have had years of practice :)

    Why shouldn't they allow it? Should we not have been able to have Sheed, Sabas, Grant, Pippen and Damon on our team at the same time?

    I know why you posted it.

    For any reason

    I believe the point is, even if you think that the league shouldn't allow such a monopoly on talent by any one team, thinking that the league can just ignore the rules set out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement is....ermmm...less than an intelligent position.

    And, BTW, should the league have blocked Garnett and Ray Allen from going to Boston? Or LeBron and Bosh from going to Miami? Or Malone and Payton from going to the Lakers? Or any one of a hundred such moves?

    The only time I have seen the league step in and block a move was when New Orleans tried to trade Chris Paul to the Lakers.

    And the ONLY reason why the league got involved was because the league was technically in charge of the Hornets/Pelicans at that point in time, so they didn't want the perception that the NBA was trading Chris Paul to the Lakers. That's why. Period.

    The NBA isn't going to step in and tell a free agent that they can't sign with a team with cap space. That's absurd.

    Who wouldnt though? Back to back finals appearances, best team in the league. Predicted to win it all next year. Hwy would ANYONE in the NBA NOT want to join that. Being impartial.
