It’s finally time! After introducing it almost three weeks ago, it’s finally time to get rolling as general managers around the NBA.
For a quick recap, here’s the rules and the trades that occurred prior to draft day.
- 2017-18 Salary Cap ($102 Million projected) will be used to determine validity of trades
- CBA Rules apply (see: Larry Coon's NBAFAQ)
- Can only trade future picks up to 2022. Pick swaps are allowed.
- No buying picks.
- If you have to drop a Non-Guaranteed player or cap hold to make a trade, please select the player you wish to drop in agreed trade post.
- You can't trade free agents.
- You don't have to include a pick from this draft or any draft, I'm willing to let you guys just trade player for player or just cap space.
- Rec official trades in the comments section so it's easy to maneuver through and make them official
- I reserve the right to deny trades if it's deemed unfair or completely unrealistic
