[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 872147"] There was a post on the subject I meant to respond to. I can't locate it at the moment so.... Gutekunst doesn't think so and there isn't much reason to doubt that. [LIST] [*]Trading is done by phone. That hasn't changed. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]If you can't get through to the point man, you call the #2 or #3 or #4 to get the message through. Everybody has the numbers like always. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]All the critical players are on video conferencing. They can talk or wave if the point man is on the phone just as when they are in the same room. I don't think much pinching goes on ordinarily. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Whatever slowdown may emerge in the process, keep in mind most trades are executed in advance on contingency, and finalized when the highest pick involved hits the clock. I don't think there are many draft teams that are so slow witted as to start a negotiation for a pick on the clock. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]If the league was concerned they would have elongated the time on the clock. They haven't. [/LIST] The biggest risk to executing a trade, which also applies to getting a pick in on time, is if an at-home internet connection or a cable phone+internet services drop. You'd have to be moron not to have backups for these contingencies. Land line + cell is obvious for phone service. Everybody has all those numbers. For internet, if there is dual land line service available, say cable and FIOS, then you go buy both for everybody involved. It would be stupid not to. Otherwise, go with satelite internet as a backup, which kinda sucks but gets the job done. This might actually work better with less hoopla and fewer distractions. [/QUOTE]
