As written, this rule insinuates that the trade must be "Player A" and nothing else for "Stuff From the Other team."Sign-And-Trade:
1) During Restricted Free Agency, you can receive compensation for not retaining an RFA that are about to lose via sign-and-trade. Player A (who played on Team 2 last season) agrees to an offer sheet from Team 1. Team 1 can offer to send some compensation to Team 2 in order for Team 1 to not match/retain Player A. In turn, Team 2 will match the offer sheet and then post a sign-and-trade thread in the Finalized Trades forum.
I would like to propose that it be re-written as follows to allow teams to be a little more creative in Sign-and-Trade scenarios:
This way, the team that had the player originally could, for example, include points, draft picks, or other players (and salary) as needed to make a trade legal.1) If a player signs with a new team during restricted free agency, the team that holds his restricted rights may work out a trade involving that player (which may include other items) with the team that signed him. The original team signs the player to the offer sheet, then executes the trade, so the trade must be cap legal on that assumption.
