I play GM only mode and trading is pretty much the biggest part of that mode so I figure I make it as hard as possible. As I don't spend any time on lineups, most of the time is scouring for players that are available, and for whatever reason (maybe an AI loophole?) you can make a one-sided trade in your favour when you need to if you search around. You just need to be very careful handing out long-term expensive contracts (even to legit stars) as you know they'll be impossible to dump. Also, it's still pretty easy to get free agents as long as they're within your budget. That said, I've only made it to the playoffs 1 time out of 5 with a IRL playoff contender so maybe I'm more of a masochist than I thought.
