#1: (to borrow from a higher rule book) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Trades must benefit both parties involved. #2: If it is too good to be possible, then it isn't possible and therefore should be considered impossible. #3: All trade speculation threads shall have their thread title preceeded by a "Possibility Abbreviation". The choices are as follows: DD: Dead Dog - this trade is the fantasy of an overzealous teenager who wants to grow up to have a GM job in the NBA. M: Miracle - this type of trade could happen, but you only see things this lopsided once every ten years or so. S: Solid - this trade accomplishes something positive for the team without giving up too much. ATE: All Things Equal - it appears that our team would not improve. Examples of thread titles w/ prefixes: DD: Garnett for Cato, Wizard! ATE: 2nd Round Pick for Pippen. Thank you for your cooperation. I hope this will increase everyone's enjoyment of the BBS and also save reading time. Please add rules as they become necessary. [This message has been edited by Doctor Robert (edited May 22, 2001).]
