You are correct.
The issue with the deals under investigation is not about trade talks between teams. Instead, it is over contractual AND trade negotiations that may have occurred between player and team(s) before such negotiations were allowed to happen.
This is just a trade of players under contract, and there is no prohibition from talking about such things.
