I know that there were reasons (or at least a reason) for this provision but I am honestly wondering what the point is.
Can someone remind me please? TIA.

Well, I don't like these trades for one. I can't remember if we had addressed these before or not. And I believe Mike even advised a team in the Frenzy that a trade of this sort would raise a red flag among owners, but I'd let him speak for himself there.
The fact that you've got to keep these players on your own roster for the summer, and have room for their contracts, I guess is the only deterent to trading the RFAs. I have no problem with putting stricter standards in place to make it harder for teams to trade these players. I think in the Frenzy, with generally tighter cap situations, that piece of it is usually enough to make it difficult to make a trade like this, but in SAC'D, where there is usually more cap room to play with, I think this might not be enough of a hindrance.
