It might be neat to have a measure like "PER per millions of dollars" so one could guage how cost effective a given player is.

Edit: Wow, I'm blind, I didn't see Toms post above this. Yeah what Tom said!

Might be too hard, might not even be a good idea BUT.... what about putting a value on each statistic, which in turn adds up and then based on the players salary indicates whether the player is living up to their paycheck. You could put players in Green that are doing well and players in red that aren't. Maybe I just want to see Jerome James in red lettering.. I dunno.

I don't believe I saw this listed, but one thing that is often included in trades that you don't see in other trade checkers, which would be great to have here, is draft picks.

I know there are rules about trading picks:

- lottery protection
- can't trade consecutive future 1st round picks (right?)

which I can think of off the top of my head, but any way to include picks in a trade would be great.

picks and cash considerations would be a good idea to make this trade checker stand out.

Martin and Andrew making some power moves huh?

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Fire, ESPN seems to have the more slick UI - fonts, layout, pics, etc.

I like that RealGM has the ability to recall a trade through their ID# system - that's important for folks who like to come back.

Also, I think RealGM has a better layout for copying the trade details quickly to post to other forums. That's important!

I think you need to incorporate the proprietary WWID function? Othwerwise known as "What would Isiah Do?", the WWID puts together trades that on their face appear one-sided for the team gaining the superior talent, but in reality the trades strongly favor the "losing" team by bolstering their flexibility. By using WWID, users can figure out exactly how to screw their virtual fans into thinking that progress is being made.

An interesting suggestion would be "POSSIBLE TRADE SUGGESTOR"

eg. KG to Knicks for and then the trade picker suggests various combos of knick players to send back that match KG's salary...

EG: Combo A: Marbs + Frye + Nate + Butler (I dont know if that adds up, just suggesting)

Combo B: Francis + Frye + Malik

Combo C: Malik + Mo T + Jalen Rose

etc...

How about making it insult you, if your trade idea is dumb?

In all seriousness, I'm a software engineer RL and have some experience, so if you want to run some ideas by me, I may have some input. My AIM is RydinareSolace.

Good luck with your project.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

guys, the TC is going very well indeed. We should have a beta version by next week. Keep the suggestions coming. We're trying to include every one. Well, almost.

Martin, did you get my email?

I'm very impressed with the comprehensiveness of this trade checker. The only thing I can think of is the number of teams that can be party to a trade (real GM has 4, how many will this have?) and the possibility of sequential trades. Even if it doesn't make sense to list sequential trades, maybe those rules could be posted nearby-- like players can't be traded (unless 1 for 1) until December X, or until after x days pass...

The only other things I would like to see concern the results page. I'd like to see final roster depth chart page where users can allot minutes among the new roster players. You could even toggle a "waive" or "NBDL" flag if the trade brings players over the 15 player limit. From there, users should be able to have that information in a post format to be able to discuss in the forums.

Thanks...
You know I gonna spin wit it
