Why? GMs should work out a trade ahead of time or pick the guy the receiving GM wants 
Ohio Celts fan wants Scalabrine i heard anyways
In this case I was typing up the trade PM which I recieved well in time. I don't want the speed with which I can post to be the issue between a GM getting a player they want or don't want.
In the future any GM who is trading for a pick that is on the clock needs to include whom they are trading for in the confirmation PM. Additionally when a GM announces a trade has been sent the the Commish, the Commish is going to need time to announce it. Allow me to post something before making your pick.
Cool thanks Faf.
Just an observation from previous years for other GMs....
to make life easier for the commish and other GMs, I would STRONGLY urge GMs if they're making a pick right at the end of their alloted time to pick for the other GM then trade the players rights and the other picks..
For example if i was Champkind/Ohio Celtics fan I would have, as Champkind, picked Oden *THEN* sent the deal in.
If you have some concern about a veto --- i've had success this year pre-clearing deals with Fafnir, who's been a solid commish (as Don and IP before him)
It avoids problems with the rules... remember an ounce of Ubuntu is worth a pound of the cure!
