The members of the trading committee are the 5 administrators of the league:
- Miami Heat
- Portland TrailBlazers
- Brooklyn Nets
- Philadelphia Sixers
- Minnesota Timberwolves
1st layer:
In every trade these 5 members will have to vote on the legality of it and simply decide whether a trade meets the typical standards set forth by the Constitution (e.g. If the teams have the salary cap space to make it happen or the necessary open roster/contract spots). If 1 or 2 members of the trade committee are themselves part of a trade then the other 4 (or 3) members will decide.
2nd layer
Assuming the typical standards are met and both guys have a good reason to make the trade, it will go through and then there will be a 24 hour window for ALL managers to potentially veto the trade. In the event that a simple majority (11 vetoes) is reached, the trade will return to the commitee. This shouldn’t happen very often and the plan is for these layers to work as preamptive measures to avoid a trade that puts the league’s integrity in question.
We won’t allow managers getting into an argument about trades but we want every opinion to be heard and to be respected.
IF YOU WANT TO VETO TRADE YOU CAN DO SO BY SENDING A PM TO ALL COMMITTE MEMBERS. No public posting as we want to avoid the whole back and forth that makes all the fun go away
We don’t expect many vetoes to take place and you should think about vetoing a trade only if there is a suspicion of collusion or a trade is grossly one sided (i.e. LeBron for a 2nd round pick).
Reminder: Protesting a trade because a team, in your mind, is becoming better or worst is not a reason to veto, we have to respect the agreement that managers have based on their plan.
In the event that a trade gets vetoed by the simple majority (11 votes) and returns to us we really anticipate the trade to be vetoed by the committee BUT we are asking to trust our judgement and experience regarding the potential of a trade simply getting vetoed for the wrong reasons. In simple words, if this mechanism works properly and we do our job properly there won’t be a case that a trade returns to the commitee and if it does we shall probably respect the majority’s decision unless something extreme happens (conspiracy theory?)

3rd layer:
Basically, we count on your integrity and on your commitment to be competitive without compromising the status quo of the league and this means:
NO UNDER THE TABLE AGREEMENGS
NO SIDE DEALS
NO “FAMILY” TRADES
The trade deadline every year will be 10 days after the actual NBA trade deadline happens and trading will be open again on the 1st day of the offseason.
Basically you can trade always except from:
- After the Trade deadline through the offseason
- During the reload draft a player cannot be traded before the end of the round he gets selected (e.g. Bobby Carrots is the 3rd pick in the 1st round, he cant get traded before the 1st round ends)
- During the rookie draft a player cannot be traded before the end of the round he gets selected (e.g. Augustus Pears is the 33rd pick in the 2nd round, he cant get traded before the 2st round ends)
