This is going to be a hot topic . Please try and think about the benefit to the league as a whole and not to your individual team.
I strongly suggest we wait until next season to figure out what we want to do with the remaining 4 teams. We may want to expand back to 24... if we do we have a ready draft pool for the newest teams. We may not want to expand to 24 we may like it at 20... if we do than we put them in the draft at that time. If we put the 4 teams into the draft pool right now, we are a 20 team league and we are saying that we will stay a 20 team league. I will not put up for a vote expanding if that means taking guys away from you to give to a new coach. I don't think that is fair. At least not for several years.
I'm not saying put them in limbo forever. I'm saying delay making a decision on them until next year. This is a hot issue. We're going to fight over it. Lets fight over it next year, we have enough turmoil going on right now than to add fights onto the plate.
Besides, nobody has traded away a 2010 draft pick yet (or at least it isn't official yet) so when they do trade those away they will know what the value might be of that pick. When coaches traded away 2009 draft picks they knew they were taking a risk, but 4 teams worth of new talent was so far off the radar screen so as to not be figured into the calculation. By waiting just one year, everyone is on the same even ground. Plus it gives us options. We may not want to take up that option, but it is better to have the option and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I say we wait 12 months before we decide what to do with the 4 remaining teams.
That is my opinion, what's yours? We'll talk about it over the weekend and next week I'll put up a poll on it.
