Trades: All teams (with the exception of the teams involved in the trade) will be given 48 hours to vote on accepted trades. If more than half of the league’s teams vote against an accepted trade, the trade will be reversed. If both teams involved in a reversed trade dispute the reversal, the commissioner will review the trade. If, in the commissioner’s opinion, the trade involved collusion and/or if the trade was blatantly in favor of one team, the trade reversal will be upheld.
Trade Backs: No back trading is allowed. Once a team trades a player away, that team cannot receive the same player back in a later trade. The only way to get that player back is off of the free agent list. This is to avoid collusion.
