I suppose the ideal here would be that the allocation would exist similarly to that of a first-round pick in other sports, where (using the Dallas - NE analogy) Dallas would probably get another allocation the following season. <BR/><BR/>With every team being allowed no more than two Designated Players at a time, I can't really see this getting out of hand. But yeah, I guess they will iron out some of these details over time.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814368676641113294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26314872.post-1163479186338368702006-11-13T23:39:00.000-05:002006-11-13T23:39:00.000-05:00I know it's a bold step for MLS to enter the big m...I know it's a bold step for MLS to enter the big money arena, but it seems they're still working a lot of things out. For instance, if Dallas trades their Designated Player allocation to, say, New England, that would mean NE gets two. <BR/><BR/>This math is easy. <BR/><BR/>Now, what happens in two years? Does Dallas ever get a new allocation? Are there only 13 allocations, ever? What if NE doesn't want to trade back and Dallas is about to lose a valuable American player, will single entity let him go?<BR/><BR/>See, they don't seem to have gotten some issues out of the way and thought this through. Like how LA is dealing for Beckham, when Landon is going to suddenly be a huge pile of money coming out of someone's pocket at the same time a bunch of other players are and suddenly LA has to decide: long-term-Landon or to trade Beckham?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
