well, since this trade has been officially approved i don't see any point in discussing this after the fact.
this had to be discussed since we never allowed future considerations and i won´t change that rule.
Even if it isn´t a written rule everyone knew it and kept their trade offers that way.
I have no doubt that both gms knew that they will get an unfair advantage by making such a trade.
IMO the fact that only the commish and the trade partners had knowledge about the new rule gave them as much advantage or disadvantage as processing this trade back.
i had countless trade talks with the celticsgm for example and they all were cancelled because he couldn´t trade me a pick.
But as bods already posted it wasn´t my decision.
I will process the trade because hawks as commish agreed to it.
In the future no trades like that are going to be allowed.thanks
