Trying to get this off the trade thread and make sure everyone understands the new rules in effect this year
From what I have gathered
Picks are only tradeable for the year in which you have paid
ex. 2018 draft picks only tradeable if you have paid for the 2018-2019 season
You cannot pay 2 years in advance to trade 2019 picks
ex. Deadline this year you want to acquire a player for the playoffs you can only trade 2018 picks (if paid for 2018-19 season) no longer allowed to do future considerations for picks farther out then the upcoming draft.
I think rulebook should be updated to include new provisions.

It's a good rule, as it was getting quite silly with teams trying to trade up to three years down the road.

I agree to a point. I don't really care for the constriction but I also very much so understand the need. We can let an owner trade away all of a teams assets and then bail on the league and end up with another Pittsburgh scenario like we have this year. I have a lot of respect for Lance right now, working to get back some of the teams assets as he was left with absolutely bare cupboards

It could be a good rule but needs a lot of tuning. For example, how does rfa work now. Never really were a lot of bids but regardless if someone wants to bid on a tier 1 rfa (or any tier involving a 2019 pick) they can't with these new rules right?

Technically they shouldn't be able to bid on any RFA until paid up for 2018-19 since any bid involves 2018 picks as well

Once a bid is made and player is successfully acquired the appropriate yearly dues are due. Problem solved.

For what it's worth, and don't really whether or not anyone believes me, Lance would have reacquired the 1st overall pick back.
Double edged sword though, one step forward and three steps back...beside a key piece being a UFA. Lance is proactive and involved.

Not really, as someone else noted very few RFAs move. It's a non-issue as long as dues are collected once someone announces their intentions to use a future pick.

I think 1/2 of the league is going to paid up 2 years in advance here pretty soon. VERY cagey. GHL Ponzi scheme, heh

GHL Ponzi scheme, heh Good, GMs will be invested long term, less turnover, more competitive/balanced teams that don't shoot for the moon one year and leave the next. You, Phil, should love this rule seeing as how we all know where you stand on going all in. |
