What's going on with this trade, guys? Is this a contingency to the trade you concluded last season? If so, that would be a violation of our rules, which clearly state:
- Draft picks can be traded only up to 3 seasons in advance.

No pissing. No moaning. Just a question about a trade that has only one side to it.

If the trade was for the 2062 draft pick and there was no other league rule against it, I would be OK with it as long as there was a resulting deal the other way before the trade deadline this season. Otherwise the pick should go back.

Me too. I have not seen any player to be named later trades since I have been here but I don't know if there is a rule against it. I do know the 3 year limit is a league rule and that should be enforced in my opinion.If the trade was for the 2062 draft pick and there was no other league rule against it, I would be OK with it as long as there was a resulting deal the other way before the trade deadline this season.

It was a contingency on the prior trade we made. He made an offer saying he'd trade the 63 1st when its available. I declined it and counter-offered and he accepted.[Edited on 9-10-2014 by INDIANSFORLIFE]

We can reverse it if necessary and make proper amendments as a separate trade, or I can just send him the pick back and leave the trade as is. Doesnt matter to me really, wasnt aware of rule violation. The pick obviously wasnt able to be traded 3 years in advance, however, technically, the pick wasnt traded 3 calendar years in advance either (draft gets run on 3/25 2063, pick traded officially 4/1/2060), nor was I aware of contingency deals being illegal. Again, if there is a consensus agreement or commish decision to do something about this then myself and Schwija can amend it with no issue. There was no intent of averting rules whatsoever, regardless of how it is ruled, nor do I have a problem with any ruling. It was done at the time it was done to be before the trade deadline, not to avoid or actively find a loophole in draft pick eligibility.[Edited on 9-10-2014 by INDIANSFORLIFE]

And just to add on further, if it was a devious attempt to avert rules, I would have sent him a 5th rounder or something ridiculous in exchange for the 1st rounder. It was completed without malice whatsoever

Tampa Bay and Chicago should reverse the current trade. And we should all be a bit more careful in the future. Thanks!

That's what I figured. I never thought that there was anything devious or nefarious going on--I just thought people needed to be reminded of the rules.Tampa Bay and Chicago should reverse the current trade. And we should all be a bit more careful in the future. Thanks!
