"I have no problem with this deal.  As long as there's no reason to suspect corruption I think it's best all trades are approved.  It's difficult enough to come to an agreement with one manager, I'm not sure it's in the best interest of the league to start interfering with trades."

If this is how most owners feel, I'm not sure I see the point in having a Trade Committee.  If the only reason for the existence of the TC is to prove collusion, it doesn't seem to have much of a purpose.  I have seen some deals that I personally did not believe were in the best interests of the owners making them or the league in general.

You have a great point which is why the idea of the TC and their role will be reviewed by the RC as they gear up to elect the 2010 TC.  This trade has become official...
