My thoughts on dynasty play (1 Viewer)

i don't take a bad offer as an insult unless it's so severely one-sided that I would think it was fishy/suspect possible collusion if two other owners did it. A lot of owners tend to overvalue their own players, and can come down to earth after negotiation. Just in general, people value players and picks differently. They may see more or less potential than you do--it doesn't take too much effort to just let them know you're a ways apart on value. There are a lot of owners who always want to negotiate; if I offer x to get y, they always ask for x+ something. Typically you have to send an offer that's a bit in your favor for them to arrive at an equitable amount, if you don't want to pay through the nose. So if you don't know a guy, remember that he doesn't know you and it's probably part of his feeling-out process.simple economics dictates that flat-out refusing to make a trade with another owner on "principle" even if you can get a favorable deal that helps your team, only hurts your team. You're denying yourself valuable opportunities to improve, and it reduces competition in the "market," reducing your options and thus giving other owners more leverage.You can gain the most success operating your team from a business perspective and not letting things get personal. Getting all butt-hurt over a trade offer and reducing your future trade opportunities hurts only you.I do get annoyed if people just straight up don't reply to trade offers. I'm less likely to send them one in the future.

Good points. People Do value players differently and so just because you think it is a bad offer doesn't mean the other owner was just trying to rip you off. Also very true that few owners make their first offer their best offer.

Why? Your opening paragraph sold you out as a guy lacking in whoop-###. Thanks, but no thanks.
