After their heartbreaking elimination in Game 7 of the ABL Championship Series, rumors leaking out today paint a picture of a front office quickly looking to move forward and focus on future seasons. While our inside source would not confirm the trade partner, he did reveal that a trade has been agreed to in principle regarding two current roster members being traded away for cash in a move that should leave the club with roughly $20M in potential money for free agents in the upcoming offseason. Given WBA rules regarding trades involving players, expect this move to be announced publicly as soon as the WBA Championship Series concludes.

The 2114-15 hot stove season figures to be an interesting and possibly exciting one as the ratio of available players to available money is higher than it has ever been in WBA history. Not even talking heads and podcast pundits are willing to guess the salary figures that free agent targets may receive this year. Sources from multiple front offices around the association have been flummoxed by players with expiring contracts and their agents, claiming that they are wildly misunderstanding the coming free agent landscape. In response many agents have accused owners and GMs of attempting to artificially depress free agent salaries by leaking these comments and "indirectly colluding to drive down salaries" according to one particular agent. Most observers believe this agent to be Cheslav Zamorov's representative Scott Boras V based on past comments and the famous Andy Stone Saga of 2109-10.
