Fantasy Football Freaks Dynasty League Discussion, Trade, and Archive Thread - Page 10

Geez we sure do nit pick about trades in this league alot don't we? Lol. I mean, I kinda thought that was the whole point of fantasy, and running a team? Sometimes you have to take your lumps with a trade, learn why you didn't get the better end, or wise up in general after some bad moves.

It's 1 thing to just get a discussion about some trades, but there always seems to be 2 many trades we want to break down and IMO it discourages some people from trading more in the future if your on the end of everyone telling you that you got ripped off.

Unless it's Drew Brees being traded for John Beck I've never felt the need to disect a trade, not everyone is gonna feel the same about players and there is nothing wrong with taking risk, or overpaying.

Let's say for example I want Aaron Rodgers off Shane. I offer what's a fair value offer and it's declined. So I come back and up it even more and he says good offer but he doubts he can do it. So I send a 3rd offer and throw a bit more in and he takes it, shouldn't I be able to take that risk if I really believe in a player? I've always felt so.

Nobody should have to defend their trade IMO, it's not that serious, and it takes the fun out of it. No offense to anyone at all, just wanted to say that. I know I had quite a few trades where I didn't really know the value of QB's yet so I needed it and totally understand sometimes.

Shane P. Hallam · 07-07-2011, 10:57 PM

I say trade and enjoy it :) I am exploring some other opportunities too and won't let this dissuade me.

LonghornsLegend · 07-10-2011, 12:03 PM

I doubt any of you do, but anybody picking 3-7 interested in a move down to #9 I can present an attractive deal for you. Higher I can get more I'm willing to give up.

I thought you were the 1 I was discussing a move down offer with. Let me drum up a few more offers and run some scenarios with you and see what you are interested in as a starting point. Not really sure I can do the initial offer we talked about, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Shane P. Hallam · 07-31-2011, 06:40 PM

Yeah, this week I'll get everything out and make sure everyone is good.

Also a tradE:

Fireballs get:

5th round pick

Quiet Storm gets:

TE Chris Cooley

ironmon · 08-01-2011, 02:18 PM

not that it is a big deal but

the players are reversed. fireballs 5th round pick, quiet storm cooley

thanks. look forward to the draft. are we still using the 12 hour clock, i was counting the days till season and it could get close since this years draft is longer.

devon

Shane P. Hallam · 08-03-2011, 06:35 PM

Another trade:

I send:

RB Michael Bush

Hell's Satans sends:

4th round selection

hells-satans · 08-04-2011, 03:31 PM

draft order is wrong, or else Longhorns is trying to trade my pick. I should be 1.10

Shane P. Hallam · 08-04-2011, 04:39 PM

Since you beat LL in the 3rd place game, you move up one place in the draft order.

LonghornsLegend · 08-04-2011, 05:35 PM

I'm ready for this draft to start. Still curious about moving up, but I need to see how the draft falls so I can keep an eye on my target. I'll be shooting out offers, more then likely through a PM here since we are drafting here once we officially start.

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 08:24 AM

Wow, that's and interesting wrinkle. I like it!

Locker 1st overall. I like it. Shows that team went with their own talent evaluation, not someone elses.

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 08:25 AM

Where are the cuts posted?

Shane P. Hallam · 08-05-2011, 09:57 AM

Shane P. Hallam · 08-05-2011, 11:46 AM

We have a trade:

Longhorns gives:
MJD
3rd round selection

Project Mayhem gives:

#5 overall
RB Ryan Grant

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 11:54 AM

NICE TRADE!! LL making a serious run here. Well done sir, which I had the pieces to do that.

Kept your pick in the first too. Wow, great trade for you. Hopefully Mayhem gets another good year or two out of MJD and the knee doesn't blow up on him. He is only 26.

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 11:55 AM

To get Grant back on the other end...wow. Bravo sir.

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 12:58 PM

If anyone is interested in trading back into 1st let me know

looking for young stud WR or established starting QB

Shane P. Hallam · 08-05-2011, 01:05 PM

I'm interested if the player I want is still there. I have Austin Collie up for trade (for you or anyone)

hells-satans · 08-05-2011, 02:08 PM

Need more than a few games of stud production. I like him but not quite that much.
