In the Frenzy, since the rosters and caps are tighter, these kind of delayed action trades aren't as possibly, since here, Mike has to keep SA on his roster until 8/15 (or 8/31, whatever it is). In the Frenzy, that would make it difficult for a team to operate over the summer, but here in SAC'D, teams generally have more room to maneuver so this is not as much of a hindrance. If teams don't mind that and like the way things playout, then whatever, but this is not the way things were originally intended to operate (at least in my opinion).

Now that I reread your post, I see what you were trying to say (and it didn't sound too snotty). I guess I would have to agree with you, and I have been involved in this type of trade. Not sure what the original intent behind the rule was, but there seems to be a loophole if the intent was to discourage keeping RFA's for the sole purpose of trading them away.
