    Technically, the six-inch sub isn't entirely free. They still make you buy a large drink first. :D I know that's nitpicking, but I was disappointed when I found that out. Eight sandwiches (or four footlongs) is quite a lot. Buy eight, get one free amounts to only an 11% discount on nine consecutive sandwiches. It was a little irksome when I realized that the 'savings' doesn't even add up to 11% because you still need to buy the drink.

    Anyway, back to Roster Moves. Tb-Cain, those make sense, but where does Kyle Hill fit in there? He must've been in the story somewhere (likely the radiator, in my opinion). I don't see why Dallas would take him back. I imagine we still retain his rights, but perhaps we are getting a player or second-rounder to compensate for his going to France.

    OP,

    Since I couldn't find a Knick #12, does your ref mean Moochie is soon to sign or just pointing to press conf time?

    Also, is it OH or Kurt Thomas that we get as a throw in?

    Oh, I forgot you can't tell us, but how about another story to help clarify?

    WAIT, those were clues I think.


    Number 41? 12 Noon?


    Anyone have an idea what they could mean?

    41 is Griffin. but Rice is also otherwise a 41.


    I dunno.

    Anyone?

    Reconditioned Radiator could be a sign-n-trade player.

    The final details might not come out until the next scene in Rocket Ball happens in September. There might be an early leak of the proposed deal.

    Dallas has plenty of players listed on the roster (not all are signed) and probably wouldn't mind moving the excess to get the trade exception that they need from Houston.

    radiators also keep your engines cool. what that means, I have no idea.

    you're quoting a HUN to me?!?

    I guess things also flow through the radiator, ala a pivot man or a pg. The Rockets would only get a new pg if the Moochie situation had completely gone awry. A pivot man?!? Hmmm...

    OP-
    In finace class we covered this. We referred to it as adverse selection. Different from moral hazard because an agent must withhold informaton after a deal has been agreed to. (ie management taking to much risk to benefit shareholders at the expense of debtholders). Thanks for the finance lesson. I guess I have learned something in graduate school.:confused:

    We are not finished yet. Are we? I think there will be one more trade before the start of the season.
