Trades

A trade in this league is a real negotiation with a real approval, not a quiet swap in your save file. Every trade travels the same path:

1. Propose it. One GM sends the offer — the players going each way, plus any considerations — to the other GM.
2. The counterparty accepts. A trade is not a trade until the GM on the other side accepts it. Nobody's roster is touched by an offer they have not agreed to.
3. The commissioner approves. Once both sides agree, the office reviews it for fairness and rule compliance and approves it. Only then does the trade execute and the players actually move.

A proposal that is not accepted, or not approved, changes nothing. This is what keeps the league's rosters honest and keeps a lopsided deal from quietly reshaping the season.

Want to move a player but do not have a partner yet? List him on the Trade Block.

• Listing a player tells the league he is available. Other GMs can bring offers against your listing.
• You can delist any time. A listing is an invitation, not a commitment — nothing moves until a full offer is proposed, accepted and approved.
• When a listed player is traded, his listing comes down automatically.

The Trade Block is the front door for deals. Use it instead of spamming the group chat with "who wants my center."

Deals are rarely just player-for-player. Considerations — draft picks, cash, a future favor, a player to be named — ride along as free text on the proposal. Write them plainly so both GMs and the commissioner can see exactly what was agreed.

Considerations are honored on the honor system and enforced by the office if someone welshes. Salaries move with the players automatically; any cap figures shown are there to inform the deal, not to block it.

Your commissioner sets a trade deadline each season. Watch for the date.

• Up to and including deadline day, trading is open. Deadline day is a full trading day — a deal proposed, accepted and approved before the deadline passes is valid.
• After the deadline, the window is closed until the next season opens it. Do not leave your season-defining deal for the last hour; approvals take time, and a trade that is not fully approved when the window shuts does not happen.
