I am having a little difficulty understanding the timing of the trade being accepted, but if they both agreed to it before Thursday's game and were under the impression that they would have those players being traded for in time for Thursday's game, then why not have the trade implemented and retroactively substitute the appropriate players in (not sure if this is possible)?

Force the trade through, and appropriately change a win to a loss or vice versa to both teams if necessary.

If they're on Yahoo, it is possible. I have done it for players in my league.
