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.

Nah. If you want to go so deep in the weeds to make your point you may as well stop

A team ranks in the standings by points, relative to other teams

So a team could improve by 1 point and therefore get better by one metric but be one place lower in the standings and worse by that metric

So a team can get better and worse at the same time, never mind this zero sum game nonsense

This is silly. I shall have no further remarks
