The funny thing is, this is actually pretty common in sports. Teams will be in what they perceive as an underachieving rut for a very long time and realize they've got a lot of veterans who are worth something to other teams. STX has that in Kal and Calm and might be looking for the next big thing to bring over to their team to back up Bogus.

The thing is, when management does this, usually the coach is out the door first.

this could either be the greatest move by STX to refresh the lineups of all teams or it could end up being the most terrible decision of all time

It's not as if this year was a success relative to their talent. You gotta do what you gotta do to win, I suppose.

I feel the same way when the Lakers lost to the Pistons in 04 and the team just got blown up hahaha

TBH I think this is great (for any non-STX fans at least...)

Only Bogus is really doing well on STX lately, with Calm in perpetual mediocrity and Kal seemingly unable to beat anyone good this year (except Bisu but lol its bisu).

The teams will (hopefully) get swapped around and some of the weaker teams will get some new energy whereas STX will be able to start from scratch. I think the mental thing is another; STX could become a "new" team and shed what seems like perpetual underachievement.

I hope theres as many trades as STX is hoping for. Hopefully we can see a shake up for next season. Also a change of scenery might bring Kal and Calm back to there former selfs. Particularly Kal... I remember he was a bad ass who couldn't win only cuz he kept meeting JD in SLs

Initial reaction: "Wtf"

But hmm, I wonder how many players will be traded... The STX players must be feeling like crap right now though.
