I agree with you.

How about a possible formula like Potential+Salary+DMI rounded off to the nearest % range? I mean if a trade going to be a trade, at least it should be even.

For trades to even be possible in this game they have to be VERY similar players in age and skill as well as potential, which ultimately makes trades pointless because you will be trading for an almost identical player as the one you already have. This is why trades will never be implemented into BB.

Trading could be implemented with AI not allowing lopsided deals. This could be coded in and would be a fantastic addition. New to the game and like what I see but this is a notable omission.

Why can't buzzerbeater make something that labels all players with a trade value and you can only trade with players of a similar value. Similar value players would have age, salary, potential, and whatever else BB wants (i don't care) taken into account and turned into a value number.

Example: Team A wants to trade a 21yo player with Hall of Fame potential and $8000 salary.
Team B wants to trade a 33yo player with Allstar potential and $25000 salary.
This is just an example, but say these players have similar trade value. They can be traded if each manager agrees to the trade.

Thoughts?

I really don't see why this game would be so much better if there was trading. You could just sell a young player and then buy an old player, and it has the same effect.

Yes, if 40,000 managers agree to such a lopsided trade, it can go through.

This isn't a casual Yahoo! fantasy basketball league, sorry.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I'm not sure you know this yet, but potential on old players, including guys in their late twenties, is utterly useless.
