Reggie has informed the Mountains that he is insulted by the trade. He has threatened to sit out the playoffs.

So are you allowed to protect four players?

Yes, all players on keeper list are protected.

No...You protect 3 players and draft a 4th here.

I think the question pertains to the Mountains who kept Jackson, Foster and Allen, then after all protected players were established, traded Jackson for Brett and Lynn, leaving him with 4 players.

I think that is OK under our league set up.

I don't mean to be a whiner, but I had no idea that a trade like that would be legal. I'm just trying to figure it out...but if I had a vote (not saying that I do), I would shoot this one down. Sorry...

Zeepstah - If it helps I think Ed and I could modify the trade where I trade Lynn and Brett for Jackson and Ed's draft pick. I would pick whoever Ed wants and then trade that guy to Ed during the pre-season.

Or the trade could be modified so I trade Lynn for Reggie now. I would "keep" Brett and trade him to Ed during the pre-season.
