Trading

[Laimbeer40]

Trading:
Trading is allowed obviously. An owner may pay for part or all of a player's contract for that year or even future years in a trade to make the trade work out if cap is an issue in the trade. 80M is the hard cap and cap cannot be traded meaning the only money that can move in a trade is the money that someone might pay for a player. Only the owner that owns that player can pay part of that player's contract in a trade. If 3 or more teams are in a trade, that 3rd team cannot pay part of a salary going from team 1 to team 2 or vice-versa. If money is being paid in a future year when that season is a team option, the option must be picked up in order for money to be paid on that player. A player picked up in FA cannot be traded within 30 days after signing. (Updated 7/12/17)

A posted trade will not be processed until 48 hours has passed regardless of whether or not the votes are there. (During the season) Trades are to be posted in the transactions board and must be agreed upon by both owners involved in a trade. This is how a trade must be posted:

Team A trades:
Kevin Durant 15.5M (2015/2016)
Team B trades:
Dwayne Wade 15.7M (2014/2015)

Trades will be voted on by a trade committee of at least 7 people. TC will not vote unless the trade is in the right format. To state that someone is paying part of someone's contract then you would put that in parentheses after the year. Example:
Team A trades:
Kevin Durant 15.5 M (2015/2016)(10M paid by Team A for 12/13)

All 7 members on the TC must try and vote on every trade. If a trade gets 3 or more vetoes, it will not pass
Everyone needs to respond to trade offers or messages about being interested in a certain player/pick. It is rude to not respond to trade messages. Even a simple, "no thank you," would be fine. If I get multiple people telling me that someone is not responding to trade offers, then you will be liable to loss of draft picks.

***Draft Pick Trading***
You will be allowed to trade your draft picks for the current season. (If you have paid for the 2016-17 season, then you can trade picks in the 2017 draft)
If an owner has pre-paid for the following season, then they will be allowed to trade picks for that following draft. (If you pre-pay for 2017-18, then you can trade picks in the 2018 draft) Note: Both sides of a trade involving a 2018 draft pick would need to have pre-paid even if they are only acquiring a pick.
