You are trying to make a ridiculously improvable case that this is a zero sum game

It’s not that simple
No, you’re just missing a simple point so you’re pretending it’s ridiculous to save face.

Every year there are 32 teams that rank from 1st to 32nd. For any team to go up in ranking, a team has to go down.

Not everyone can be first. It doesn’t matter if first place gets 100 points or 150 points. 1st is still first and last is still last.

This is true, and has already been explained, if it does turn out that way it means at least two other teams got worse. But this point has nothing to with trades anyway.
