Salary fit vs trade legality
DRBL separates salary fit, transaction eligibility, and full trade legality so “could fit a TPE” is never shown as “you can trade for this player.”
Why it matters
- Collapsing fit into “tradable” would mislead users and break trust.
- A future Trade Builder needs these stages as explicit product steps.
How to interpret it
- Salary fit: does the dollar amount fit the selected mechanism?
- Eligibility: are there restrictions on moving that player?
- Legality: does the whole package satisfy CBA / roster / timing rules?
How DRBL uses it
- Cap asset UI keeps tiers separate.
- Future validateTrade returns structured reasons; the LLM may explain results but does not decide legality.
