Does anyone get into the trade rumors, regardless of sport? This year before the baseball season we were immersed in media speculation of where was A-Rod going. In football, free agency has become it's own season. Now we are once again listening to the big superstars in basketball saying they want a trade. They no longer like playing for the team they currently on, maybe because this team keeps losing, or maybe because they have issues with the coach or management staff or maybe they just want to move closer to their family. Well, I'm getting annoyed that superstars are getting to pick and choose at their will which teams they "want" to play for. If they are going to insist which team they want to play for they should covey these feelings to their agent and not to the general public. Their agent is responsible for looking out for their player and getting them the best deal to play for the team they choose.

Maybe because my teams are not anywhere close to getting these superstars is why I have no interest in where Shaq & Kobe go. I think my interest will pique when all the player shuffling is done and I can see what kind of impact will be made. I think my greatest annoyance is speculation so that is why I don't get interested in trade rumors.
