Is it me, or does this thread just seem to be mostly examples of people ripping other people off. Not to pick on Coltswin, most of the trades in this thread seem to be this way. Funny thing is, the guy posting is usually the one doing the ripping off.
I agree that this is a bad one, but I think a lot of the trades have to be taken within the context of the league/teams. Maybe sometimes an explaination w/ the trade would be better.For example, the recent Fitz trade I posted - I traded Fitz in that one (for bowe/garcon/2012 #1, other stuff). My rationale was I had Fitz and Stewy as my only players. I was going to be starting both Avery and Aroma as wr's w/ fitz, and
still needed another guy, plus have nobody to back Stew - the team is a mess (I took it over earlier this year). In other words, I need
more quality players, even if they aren't the top elite. Personally, I feel Bowe/Garcon will be a nice WR tandem for me (I was already offered a player and a 2011 #1 for Garcon - a lot of people like him). It's a gamble, but one I feel is worth it, because I truly think Bowe is a solid WR, and will have a nice year. Is he Fitz? No. Is he capable of 85/10? Yea, he is, and I think we'll see that. I feel strongly enough about this that it makes this trade (to me) nowhere near the slam dunk for the other guy that some might think it is. Bowe will make losing Fitz at least somewhat bearable, and Garcon has a good chance to be a very viable FF WR. I can move that 2012 #1 in another deal to get better elsewhere, etc. I'm cool w/ it, even though some will think the other team "stole" Fitz.
