For example : If A team buy player from B team , then B team buy a player from A team . is there going to be trouble ? both team will be banned or nothing ? what about your opinion?
Because i saw many of team according this way get some good guys. I received a e-mail from a manger yesterday , he want to use this way trade players . but i have no idea .

for me it is on the border because they normally arrange high prices so that it get a trade and not only a starting offer for the player, but must of the deals are considered as good from the gm(at least i know several managers who make deals without getting fined)

I don't like 'em, and mosty say why you don't sell him first and i wait till you got the money before i list the player.

You don´t allow it and you´d advise against it.

But isn´t it most commonly used by the most active and experienced managers and therefor no team has ever been penalized for doing it?

And "they" won´t stop doing it, while your comment will scare the less experienced managers....

but must of the deals are considered as good from the gm(at least i know several managers who make deals without getting fined)

And I know at least one GM who makes trades.....would kind of suck to be fined for trading by him :/

Ok, I really don´t have a problem with the teams doing it, but, either there are trades that you feel are OK (in which case you should specify how to trade properly) or, the "disciplining" is not much to be afraid of since you can "trade" players and still be qualified to be a GM (with the power to rule in cases of reported cheating?)

A trade is never okay as such, since there are no trades in the BuzzerBeater market mechanism. What this means is that any trade between two teams is considered as two (or more) separate player transfers. Each player transfer must be fair and conducted at market price. If one (or more) transfer (in a player trade) fail to meet this requirement there will be consequences.

So, we will not specify how to trade properly, because there really is no trading. We do specify that each player transfer is considered as an individual transaction that needs to be fair. Since it is difficult to make sure two teams are able to fairly transfer specific players between themselves, it is not advised for anyone to get involved in it. Such activity is very suspicious each and every time, which is kind of proved by your questioning in this thread.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that you should report a suspicious transfer when you see one.
