NBA Trade Court
Build the trade. Face the verdict.
Put together a real NBA trade — any teams, any players, picks, cash. We check it against the 2023 CBA in real time, then take it to court: the Prosecution, the Defence, and a verdict you can share and anyone can remix.
Open the courtroomNBA Cap Challenge
Escape the second apron. If you can.
Curated front-office puzzles with one roster, one objective and no easy way out. Everyone gets the same starting position — so when you send someone your solution, they get the problem, not the answer.

Free. No login. No mercy.Build the trade
Pick two to four real teams. Tap players and picks straight off their actual cap sheets. Add cash if the deal needs greasing.
Watch the CBA fight you
Every edit is checked against the real 2023 rules — salary matching, both aprons, the Stepien rule, the December freeze. When it's illegal we tell you which team, which rule, and by how much.
Take it to court
Seven dimensions, scored separately and never added up. A trade can be a win now and a disaster in three years — that tension is the whole argument, and a single grade would throw it away.
Let the public decide
Share the verdict. The link unfurls with your trade on a card — and whoever opens it gets your trade loaded into their own courtroom, to fix.
From the courtroom to your league
Front Court is free and always will be — it's the fun end of the same engine that runs our fantasy projections. If arguing about the real NBA is your off-season, the in-season version is a league you'd quite like to win.
