Can you clarify how many I need to drop in order to maintain my 2 supplemental picks?

You have 40 on your roster,
you traded away your 1st rounder= 1 cut
you can only cut max of 3, so if you want picks in rounds 2 and 3, you must cut 3 total.
However, due to your trade of a first rounder, you will only be allowed to pick 2, and will spend the 2nd 2009 season with 39 unless you can swing a deal for another supplemental pick.[/quote:73c408216c]
Being the cuts&picks are not mandatory. How is it any different me trading away a pick vs just forfeiting it by only making a couple drops. Im confused being that I have 2 picks, what I cant make 2 drops & play with a 40 man roster. Also, who does KD have to forfeit a pick, why cant he just make an additional drop? When we make an uneven trade during the season, all the team receiving an extra player has to do is make a drop. [color=darkblue:73c408216c]The team that trades away the extra player isnt forced to make an extra drop at season end, right?[/color:73c408216c] :?[/quote:73c408216c]
Man why do we have to go through this every draft :cry:
Here's the rule (It's rule 8 under general rules so it covers ALL drafts):
[quote:73c408216c]8) You cannot trade draft choices that you do not own. This means that if you trade a 9th round draft pick, [color=red:73c408216c]you must release as many players as necessary to insure that you will have a 9th round pick.[/color:73c408216c] For example, you have a 40 man roster, and you have acquired an extra 2nd, 3rd, and 6th round draft picks during the year. You have also traded away[/quote:73c408216c]
By trading away your 1st round pick you made the first cut manditory.
The rules also state that a Supplemental draft is never more than 3 rounds therefore you can not have a 4th round or bonus round pick to bring your roster to 40. This rule superceeds the 40 roster.
Again, if you want 2 picks, you will need to make 3 cuts
Cut 1 covers your traded draft picks
Cuts 2 & 3 cover the 2 picks.
The VERY important thing to keep in mind is you are not entitled to picks unless you make cuts.
No cuts = no picks, it's that simple.
Becuase you traded the First rounder away, you now HAVE to make a cut to aquire that pick and send it to kaviksdad. Anything after that is up to you, but you asked what you needed to do to have 2 picks, hence my answer of cut 3.
As to why KD has to forfiet his 3rd rounder, it's because rule 3 for supplemental draft states:
[quote:73c408216c]3) [b:73c408216c]Owners may draft no more than 3 players;[/b:73c408216c] Owners are not required to draft any players during the Supplemental draft[/quote:73c408216c]
Again, the second part of that rule that states you do not have to make cuts/picks is superceeded by Rule 8 above. So in your case once you traded away that pick, you in essence made an agreement to make at least 1 cut prior to the start of the Supp. draft to send that pick to kaviksdad.
The part of your post I highlighted in blue [b:73c408216c] I[/b:73c408216c] don't understand. :? except to say in season trades and roster requirements are differnet than draft time roster requirements, simple as that.
I'm trying to explain it as best I can, I hope I have, if you are still confused LMK.
