What are the implications of lifting training restrictions?
Like greeple said, it is always amusing to see folks willing to tinker with training but we still cant train to purple. Hopefully another league vote soon overturns it. With regards to the new training proposal, it's cool with me but save ...

What were the biggest headlines of the offseason?
The trades - 76ers/Spurs was the blockbuster but the Bucks/Hawks was a close 2nd. We also had several sign and trades during RFA which netted both teams gains so it will be interesting to see how much this shift in talent shapes the league this ...
