Three-team trades aren't -- even in real life -- three-team trades. So, what you would have to do is make a deal like you would normally and then take one of the players you just received in the deal and deal that player elsewhere immediately. That's a three-team deal by definition.

So, you wouldn't even have to use commish mode to do it in theory.
Not actually true. In a lot of three team deals each team recieves players from the other team. In your scenario above, that wouldn't be possible.

Your Method Produces These Results:
Trade #1
Team A:
Gets Player 1 (from Team B)
Gets Player 2 (from Team B)
Team B (My Team):
Gets Player 3 (from Team A)
Gets Player 4 (from Team A)
Trade #2
Team C:
Gets Player 5 (from Team B)
Gets Player 3 (via Team B, from Team A)
Team B (My Team):
Gets Player 6 (from Team C)
Gets Player 7 (from Team C)
Gets Player 8 (from Team C, who I want to be on Team A)

These are the actual results that I want (which I realize I could get by turing on commish. mode and forcing the players onto those teams...)

3-Team Trade
Team A:
Gets Player 1 (From Team B)
Gets Player 2 (From Team B)
Gets Player 8 (From Team C)
Team B:
Gets Player 4 (From Team A)
Gets Player 6 (From Team C)
Gets Player 7 (From Team C)
Team C:
Gets Player 3 (From Team A)
Gets Player 5 (From Team B)

Anyway, guess it isn't possible. Thanks - hopefully they'll add this sometime in the future. For a game that is supposed to have "all the things a GM can do," I think this is a HUGE thing for them to miss, and something that is not that hard to incorporate.

Thanks again for your responses.
