File and pages up. Next sim is THU or FRI EVENING, an 8-day sim to get us to 8/24/2014. Get your exports in by 6 PM.
Waiver trades are good through the end of the regular season. However, if you want to trade for a player and have them play in the playoffs, they must be on your roster before the 9/1 sim is run. Once the 9/1 sim is run, players can continue to be traded, but they CANNOT be on your playoff roster.
