This isn’t really about trading a player with a player option - and whether or not that is the same as trading an expiring contract. This is a “loophole,” I guess, that many GMs, including, I believe, myself, have taken advantage of in circumvention of the trade deadlines.The trade deadline rules clearly state that teams qualifying for the playoffs cannot trade after April 1st, and that trading “resumes” once the off-season begins. Yes, Toronto has been eliminated from the playoffs and therefore is in its offseason. However, they should be using next season’s salaries, as the rules clearly state that trading only resumes once expiring contracts enter free agency and the off-season begins - meaning the salaries roll over to the next season. It’s up to Ian Noble if the prior lack of enforcement against this rule should allow for this particular trade to be processed. but future trades involving current trade-locked season salaries should not be permitted. This guy right here, just explained why this should not push through.

If this trade goes against the rules, I hate to go against the rules.

Since this is the first instance of this occurring I'm going to allow it, but I will amend the rules to include Player Options players as expiring contracts in future.

If this trade can go through, then I guess I'll accept. If Larry is fully aware of the risk and knows he could be costing himself the 10th pick for no good reason, then that's his prerogative. It's not going to seriously damage the Pacers if this gamble doesn't work out, so whatever. Accept.
