Trade Window Problem

panda234 · 04-25-2019, 08:03 PM

I'm looking at a player in the trade window and he has 1 year left on his contract. He's a little overpriced and I don't really need him but I think he might be some insurance for the stretch run and I have the cash.

Low and behold, he has an extension for 5 years. So the 1 year left on his contract in the trade window is wrong (it should include the extension because, well, it's an extension of the contract) or, at minimum, misleading.

I noticed this in time but I've been burned before by trading for a player with multiple years left when I'm sure I checked and he had only one. This is likely why.
