Or to skate the rules.

I think shawn tried to make a trade that benefited him AND was still within the written rules. The only 'written' rule that was violated was that shawn did not get enough points/players back, which would make him the loser in the trade by rule.

I personally feel that that is smart trading...if you can find a player who is star value who is currently producing a lower clip, a manager might be willing to deal him for the cheaper value. That's not a violation of the written rules.

But i don't think its right to insinuate that Shawn did something shady, bc I assume that's how most of us who actually have the trade rules in mind operate when looking for a trade.

Was I mad at the trade...sure. Bc had i known matty valued Drummond so low, I woulda made a better offer. But that ain't shawn's fault..that's on me.
