Just so everyone is crystal clear about the rules with submitting trades. (NONE OF THIS IS NEW, BTW -- this is exactly how Lucky17 did things.)
I must have confirmed trade particulars (players/picks) from both GMs... You can do this 1 of 2 ways in the offseason:
1. Both GMs can send separate PMs/Emails to me with the trade particulars. If they match up and each team in fact has those players/picks -- YOU WIN. TRADE ANNOUNCED!
--- OR ----
2. You can do what UTAH and MMSB did in their recent trade:
Utah sent MMSB and me the trade particulars, and MMSB "replied all" (which in the CB system quotes the PM you're replying all to if there's more than 1 recipient) and typed just "confirmed". (You can also do this in email -- but I have to be able to see that the other GM is on the quoted email string AND agrees to it.)
Utah Flash send: Tony Wroten, Archie Goodwin, and the UF 2015 #2
MMSB sends: Tristan Thompson, Jan "Brady" Vesley, and Glen Robinson III

CONFIRMED
-MMSB
This way I see all the players and see that the 2 GMs are agreeing simultaneously. If all the players/picks are owned by the GMs trading them... congrats YOU WIN. TRADE ANNOUNCED.
If Champkind sends in a trade saying "I'm sending Walker Wiggle a 3rd round pick and he sends me CP3" and I don't hear from WW --- it's Champkind's responsibility to get Wiggle to confirm the trade...
I'm not gonna PM Wiggle and say "Are you really sending a 3rd round pick (which doesn't even exist you dope) for CP3? Please confirm..."
Not-gonna-happen. After a day or so i will let Champ know I don't have confirmation, and will go back to beating my head against the wall.
