To make it easy on the Commissioner when executing trades, please follow this format.
Obviously not ALL of these pieces will be traded each time, but this covers everything - use as needed.
Subject: Team A/Team B
Team A sends:
SP John Smith (ML)
RP John Jones (AAA)
Draft Pick - 1st Round
$2M Cash
Team B sends:
SP John Smith (ML)
RP John Jones (AAA)
Draft Pick - 1st Round
$2M Cash
It may seem small, but the "sends" usage REALLY helps when moving people into the trade window.
If you are sending CASH, then it's CASH.
In OOTP you can now negotiate to RETAIN SALARY for a player (to pay for a portion of the years remaining in their contract and it's applicable to each year) - Please itemize this. It is not the same as cash.
This is important because it shows the retained salary on your payroll and the portion the acquiring team is paying on theirs. And it is done be percentage (so please list it that way, and not as a numbered amount - or both if fine).
The confirming post SHOULD always QUOTE the previous post, to avoid confusion and changes after the fact, otherwise I have to assume.
And if you trade DRAFT PICKS, please post in the appropriate thread AND link to the associated post.
And, of course, read the rules!
