- Prior to start of draft
- After start of draft
- After end of draft
- After game 132
- After game 141
I think this is all completely Irrelevant to the case I've described. The in-season circumstances follow the rules. I believe that trading protected players after the draft has started circumnavigates the rules. It's a loop-hole, and we need to close it.

This is not true. It depends on the number of protected players from each team were included.

If there's no discussion, yes we should.
