Dynasty Five's Trading Regulations.
Keep all trade offers and negotiations limited to Private Messages (PMs) between teams.
Trade Deadlines.
The Trading Deadline is not half-way through the season, like the NBA.
New GMs.
New GMs must wait a week after being inducted into the league before submitting any trades.
Keep all trade offers and negotiations limited to Private Messages (PMs) between teams.
- If you are over the cap after a trade, your incoming salaries must not exceed 125% (+ $100k) of your outgoing salaries.
- If neither team exceeds the salary cap after a trade, then there is no salary-similarity rule.
- No team must exceed more than 15 players in their lineup. If a trade means that a team does exceed this limit, they must first release a player before the deal can be completed.
- Trading of draft picks is allowed up to a maximum of four years in the future. A team's own first round draft picks may not be traded in consecutive years.
- Players signed during Off Season Free Agency cannot be traded until December 15th of the regular season following their signing. Trades that include OSFA signings before December 15th will be automatically rejected.
- GMs cannot change their mind about a trade once they've posted the trade thread or replied with an acceptance.
- There are five Trade Committee members. If a trade involving a Trade Committee member's team is deadlocked at 2 accepts/2 rejects then all GMs in the league are given 24 hours to provide their unbiased opinion on the trade. If GM votes continue to remain deadlocked then the trade will pass.
- A trade must not require your team to sign or release more than two players.
Trade Deadlines.
The Trading Deadline is not half-way through the season, like the NBA.
- (In-Game Date) April 1st: Only teams who are have not qualified for the playoffs may trade after this date.
- (In-Game Date) April 19th: Trade Deadline for all players with expiring contracts. No expiring players can be traded after April 19th (excludes Team Options, includes Player Options and released players (see Amare Stoudmire Rule)).
- Start of Off Season Re-Signing and Free Agency: Expiring players enter Free Agency or are re-signed. All trading resumes.
New GMs.
New GMs must wait a week after being inducted into the league before submitting any trades.
- Dynasty Five is a league which requires patience and rewards planning. Too often new GMs enter the league and trade away assets that have taken a long time to acquire, a week of induction gives new GMs the time to consider multiple trade requests and take stock of their situation before making any decisions.
