Add at least one asset to each side, then calculate the trade. The verdict weighs surplus value over each contract's remaining term.
- Picks are valued at an expected slot. For first-round picks you choose lottery, mid, or contender — that slot is an estimate, not a known pick number. Future-year picks are discounted for time and carry a wide range.
- The verdict weighs contract surplus, not raw talent. Surplus is value over what a player is actually paid. A star on a fair-market contract shows little surplus, so a star-for-picks deal can read "close" even when one side clearly gets the better player.
- It does not check roster fit, cap space, or cap compliance. Only the value of the assets is weighed.
