The only thing the rules state is that the length of contract needs to be assigned before the trade goes through. Like all other rookies drafted this year, they are all in limbo at this time. I have no issue with keeping it that way until August 31st. I believe the intent of the rule was to require a team making a trade to have to manage cap/roster space at the time of the trade. Since PS/TS squads are in a state of limbo, rookies traded have no impact on that limbo.
