Just re-submitting Seattle's proposal with things cleared up a bit.

1) All rounds available to trade.
2) Only available to trade the following year's picks.
3) The following year's picks become available after current year draft is over. So if this get's implemented 2092 picks will be tradeable in early June. 2091 would be immediately.
4) If this passes we will be using ONLY Statsplus Trade Tool for trading because manually tracking picks is awful. This tool is awesome btw but I'm hesitant to implement it yet....maybe we will anyway even if this fails.
5) In my experience, this would help cash move around to those teams who need it. If you blew your budget going all in you can get out much much faster by selling picks. Overall it should increase trade activity by adding more granularity to trading.

If you have questions please ask. This one has been very close in the past and I would love to hear the concerns from guys as I'm sure there are valid ones!

my only concern is people trade picks, get in a hole and run. think you gotta be in the league for x amount of seasons before you can draft pick trade.

That's why they can only trade the upcoming year. Can't go anymore than 1 yr as to not get into a hole like that.

And you can use that money you always have for draft picks.

I’m just a sugar baby GM

So lets say that this passed, and all trading was then done in S+, does this mean that trading could occur while the draft was live? Let's say that I really wanted to move up to get a specific player, could I then trade with a team that was currently on the clock, or upcoming, would that then go through immediately or is that something that would take extra time to verify to make it work? Or would it be messed up since we run the draft before the draft should take place in-game?

Something like this could potentially make the draft more interesting for some.

That is a great point and would make the draft a lot more fun imo

This can absolutely happen 100%.

We have those long clocks for a reason!!!!.... Would be fun talking trades lol move back pick up extra 2nd round pick. I see the fears about people leaving only one year ahead I don't see it being a issue. I think it adds to many areas of the game. Also maybe worst team hates the draft. Trades out for next year.

I have always been a fan of draft pick trading in real life. Video games it worries me if you let a team trade 2-3 years ahead as if they leave, it can be a very shitty point that a new GM doesn't want to deal with.
But if you limit it to the current draft's picks, I do like being able to trade a draft pick for a player, etc.
Some teams like to have more picks. Sometimes, I like to give up a pick for a player because then I know what I am getting and don't have to take the risk.
But I definitely think it would add some fun to the league.

SD has swapped their vote (I forgot to allow vote editing) so the vote tally will be +1 Yes and -1 No.

As of this post it's 15 YES and 9 NO.

A limit on the amount of picks a team can have in 1 season may be a good idea if this passes.

Agree! I think that is a major sticking point for some. No more than 2 picks per round

People have to trade away things to get picks. Feels like you guys are acting like they get them free. Let's cap the number of FAs you can sign in an offseason then. Seems like an arbitrary thing to put a cap on.

This would allow teams to rebuild and get out of the hole faster at the cost of at worst someone dealing their picks for next year. That's pretty mitigating as it is. Someone can maybe do that one draft. They cannot in perpetuity stack draft picks as they will run out of things to trade for them.

I changed it so you can change your vote
