Some advice from a gm who got swindled into being an OK gm -
If you're not sure of a trade you can generally find an experienced gm who will be more than happy to give you some advice. Even with a co-gm and having done the CBlog draft 5 times (?) I've reached out to a few people for advice on picks.
And if you're going to trade a big superstar there's really no harm in posting it into this forum and saying something like 'Super close to trading Michael Jordan, get your offers in before I sign off on this.' It's tough to get a real feel on how badly certain teams are or are not looking to trade a player.
