I have an idea that I want to try.
We all love a good “Who says no?” trade column. Readers send
in their proposals, and writers figure out which ones makes sense, and which
teams would or wouldn’t be interested. It’s a great gimmick, which is why you
see it show up so often.
Let’s try it with a twist. I’m asking you for your trade
proposals involving anything that teams aren’t actually allowed to trade. That
is, I don’t want to hear about players or picks or signing rights or retained
salary. Instead, I want you to hit me with everything else – coaches, front
offices, mascots, media, anthem singers, you name it.
Get creative, come up with a trade you think would work for
both teams, and send it in. Then I’ll take those ideas and… actually, I don’t
know. This probably won’t work. But it would be fun if it did, so no harm in
trying.
Email your trade proposals to dgbmailbag@gmail.com and let’s see where
this goes.
