1) Addiction to trading. Yes, we want to continue improving our team, but I've seen many great dynasty teams turn to mush in 3 years because the owner cannot stop trading. Even those who are great traders and have excellent knowledge of FF can ruin dynasty teams because of their trade addiction. Some would argue against the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it", and I for one agree somewhat that you should always look to improve your team, but some owners take it to the next level, and with that next level comes greater risk, especially if you already have a great team.
2) Always playing for now by trading draft picks. That can sure backfire on you in a dynasty league if the players you traded for don't pan out. Trying to regain those picks later with players that don't carry the value they once did can make rebuilding very tough. Letting your team get old without having replacements is devastating to a dynasty team. By the way, I'm sure most of you already know this.
3) Probably the most important thing in dynasty leagues is the ability to buy / sell a player at the right time. I know this isn't news to any of you guru's out there, but it's a fact. It's also the toughest element in fantasy sports IMO, and it's also the most rewarding when you make the right decisions. You can turn around a bad franchise in a hurry with a few great moves. You can also ruin a great franchise in a hurry with a few bad ones (see #1 Addiction to trading).
