signees

if I sign a player, and will be trading him the day after I signed him (like the scenario with Joe Johnson), will I still be able to deal him?

like for instance, I signed Joe Johnson on Day 1...

then I decide to deal him on day 3, will I be able to do that as long as it is him alone?

[KingsGM-old]

i think you can't trade him anymore due to 24 hour rule...

Nope, you have 24 hours or when the next sim is run, whichever comes first.

the only outgoing player rule affects people you acquire in trades, not people you sign.

in Joe Johnson's case, he was re-signed. is he under a trade rule?

[CavsGM]

Players re-signed during the extension period, which was around playoff time I think, can be traded at any time. But players re-signed during the regular free agency are under the 60 day trade rule. From the rules section...

Players acquired on: Day 170 (draft)
Can be traded on day: Day 31

Acquired on: Day 180 (after draft, before FA)
Traded on: Day 41

Acquired on: Day 181 (FA day 1)
Traded on: Day 41

Acquired on: Day 182-185 (FA day 2-5)
Traded on: Day 51

Acquired on: Day 1-60 of the season
Traded on: Add 60 days to when signed.

Yes, if he went into free agency he goes by the chart cavsgm posted.

how about draft picks?  Are they held to the same rule, i.e. can they be traded before day 31?

[NetsGM]

I'm not sure how it is in the nba, but draft picks can be traded at any point in this program.
