Please don’t take this as a complaint, because it’s not, and I think the trade should go through, but the rules state that trades can’t happen after the first. I don’t care at all, please keep the trade (because the spirit is essentially the same/intended effect of swapping full slate of picks) but can we rewrite the official rules to reflect that it’s legal? I would’ve explored a similar trade if I knew we could do this after the first ended. I didn’t know this was an option that I had until now. Thanks!
dbkc is absolutely right....its says "for the entire 1st round"....we made the trade after 2nd round picks were made

however i think we can all agree nothing shady happened here and no advantage was gained....canceling the trade would create a whole new mess to try to fix and i dont think anyone wants any more delays

ill change the wording on that rule

That’s all I was saying, I’m 100% for the trade standing. I just think the written rule should reflect reality. Hope it didn’t come off as anything else aside from that!

I agree with pretty much everything said.

From my perspective, I offered the trade as soon as 24k picked. I actually offered 24k the same trade and he declined. DH picked before seeing my offer and said he'd consider a swap & let me know. He did. I accepted the trade without even knowing the 2nd round had begun and would have followed through even if Rodman, who I was targeting, wasn't there.

I do see how someone could possibly gain some competitive advantage in the situation, but only in the absolute rarest of cases. I'd say just saying swapping before making the 2nd pick is a safe compromise, though I'm intrigued by Rob's proposal as well.
