So...that means that in 80% of my trades I am the clear winner? Oh, how I wish that were true. :rollseyes:


Not exactly... But whenever i am in a league with a trade whore, i realize that most of their trades are fair and good occasionally great... but occasionally they will make bonehead trades...

As they say, you cant win them all!!!

Previous trades between these two managers:

MJD and Megatron for Arian Foster and Decker(Yes he just got him back lol)

Current trade

And a trade at the draft...Side getting Gronk gave up his 3rd round pick for other side's 4th round pick. So essentially a 3rd round pick for the keeper 4th.

None of those trades are concerns to me. In a normal league a straight trade down isn't acceptable but the addition of being able to keep the fourth makes it a trade I probably do.

Trudem, this is a good thread...making me wonder about things.

On another note: Foot, we are kindred spirits in the trading vein and i'm thinking about making you another offer, but I don't want to do anymore hijacking of this thread, so i'll carry it over to Barbarians.

no worries...I appreciate the insight and am not concerned with talking about other deals.

Now that I am on this board full time I would enjoy being in a league with you guys...would be nice to be able to talk with people rather than it be a random public league.

Let's do a basketball one or start a football one next year.

Also don't see a reason why the trade would be denied.

I would do a basketball one but that is by far my worst fantasy sport and the one that I pay the least attention.

Off topic: Why is Forte projected so few points on NFL this week?

If this trade were vetoed I'd probably leave the league. It's a fine trade, and on top of that it's a dynasty league - people will only screw themselves if they're planning on jumping ship.

Because it's a wild guess. If you don't like that projection, try another site. (ESPN projects him at 17!)

This new trade is awful... Aj Green is the prize, and getting 2 players that have either not played yet this season or playing adequate at best... But if this is a dynasty league then it is not bad since luck is better for the future than brady, and patterson and crabtree are just as good as bolden and green for the future...

Dynasty league- fair
regular keeper league/ regular league- not fair...

Since it's a dynasty league, this trade is also fine.

Looks like there is another problem in your league, though. These two teams, while clearly not doing anything to threaten the integrity of the league, are making people nervous merely by being active. It seems like a bad fit between these two owners and the league. The rules allow for trades, and these guys are doing completely legit trades. If the league doesn't like this much trade activity they can limit it in the rules.

There are other people active but this is their 4th deal...also the guy basically giving Luck away only has 2 of his original drafted players left.

I can't for the life of me figure out how you think this owner is "giving" Luck away. AJ Green is a stud, and Brady, while not what we're used to, is still a solid fantasy QB.. one who just got arguably the game's best TE back.
There's nothing at all wing with this deal, and if anything I'd favor the team getting Green and Brady.
If these two teams are bothering you, then next year you and the owners need to get together and decide if there should be an agreement on a league byruke forbidding more than "x" amount of deals between any 2 teams.
O personally I think it's nothing more than these two guys have similar views in everlasting evaluating players and their way isn't your way.

Brady has at most two years left and Bolden is a non-factor. AJ Green is a stud but for what...7 more weeks.

Luck is going to be a stud for 10 more years Patterson is just a flier but Crabtree is a solid WR1 when healthy.

Green isnt a keeper since he was taken in the second round...

Luck is by far the most valuable piece in the deal with Crab and Brady coming in at an interchangeable 2 and 3.
