Sim Nation Basketball AssociationA 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 on the website to the other GM. The counterparty accepts. A trade is not a trade until the GM on the other side accepts it.
2. Both sides have to write their reasons for the trade. Why this trade? Let the trade committee understand your thought process to ensure a fair decision.
3. The trade committee 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.
4. Both sides pay for the trade. Each GM pays for the players their team sends. You can see the prices in the trade machine menu. You pay less for trading role players, and more for trading higher rated stars.
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.
To keep things as close to realism as possible, there will be some limitations to trades.
• Franchise players can not be traded in season 1. You can find the franchise player list in #rules!
• Players rated 85 or higher can only be traded once in the same season. They can be moved again in the offseason.
