Got a trade idea that you want to share? Here's the place to post it and get feedback from others.

A few suggestions:

1. Check the salaries in your trade proposal, first.
Use a site like this one (http://www.storytellerscontracts.info/resources/08-09salaries.htm) or this one (http://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/index.jsp). If you are lazy, you can use the ESPN Trade Machine (http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/trademachine), too.

2. Explain why the trade makes sense for all teams involved.
Yeah, it's a lot of work, but it makes you think a little. It might save you from being embarrassed by posting something stupid.

3. Understand the CBA.
This is not a requirement, but if you can spout out what section of the CBA that you are referring to in your post, you'll look like you know your shit. Try this (http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#1) for reference.

Have at it.

p.s. Don't be offended if your thread title gets changed, we'll probably go for a consistent format for ease of browsing.
