Was having a random conversation today about sports, the draft, and so on with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soundingsea when I had a weird thought...
What if our favorite TV shows could make trades? Can you imagine how that might go?
You might trade actors around to fill major gaps in the cast, or stockpile talent. What if Veronica Mars could just sell off characters to get under the CW cost caps.
Like, would you trade the Vengeful Ghost of Don Lamb off to Grey's Anatomy in return for Addison Montgomery and Cash Considerations?
Or what if there was some arbitrary dispersal draft. Pretend the existing shows all got axed, and we could sit and draft any cast among existing primetime lineups to put our programs together.
How crazy would that be? Anybody want to throw out some hilarious ideas for general amusement. I may have to develop this more, later on...

As far as I'm concerned, one could posit any trade for which an explicable analog exists within the sports world. This could include:
1. Draft Picks
2. Cash consideration
3. Expiring contract
4. Cap-friendly throw in
5. Player-to-be-named later. (Usually the PTBNL must come off a pre-submitted list)
6. Equipment
I would, though, try to avoid particularly lopsided trades. Every decade or so, there's a legendary fleecing i.e Celtics trade draft rights to Joe Barry Carroll [aka Joe Barely Cares] to Golden State for Robert Parrish and Draft Rights to Kevin McHale - but we don't make that a regular practice.
