Each year at the end of July
Teams prepare to sell and buy
The services of various guys
Who’re excelling on so-so teams
Or have lost that “new baller” sheen
Or whose fat contracts have burst their seams
Some teams move to go all in
While others see the talent’s thin
“Let the rebuild begin (agin)”
April hopes implode and sink
And fans look for another kink
To fill their time as daylight shrinks
Until daring to dream again in spring.
