Yeah, there are guys in my leagues who are clearly out of the playoff hunt and looking ahead to next year, yet for whatever damn reason they still place the same value on THIS season for trades that everyone else does. It's stupid.
Just for a made up example of what I mean, I will offer something like I did with Bell for AJ Green, and they guy will say something like "I can't make this deal unless I can at least get some veteran RB who will score some points for me the rest of the year". Makes no sense how some people run their dynasty teams.
I am attempting to work a deal right now with a guy for Freeman who is out of the playoff hunt. I am offering him Keenan Allen and more to the point where even he agrees that next year the player/picks I am offering will be worth more than Freeman and he would prefer it more than Freeman, but he won't do it. He will only deal him to me for a SEVERE overpay. It's silly, and he wonders why his team is bad.
Some people are so worried about what other people teams look like that they allow that to hurt their own teams. Just terrible.
Wow, I can not believe I just read this. People are allowed to run their team however they want. Just because they are out of contention does not mean that they must trade ANY of their assets and if they are going to, they SHOULD ask for the moon...and the stars!
In one of my leagues an owner only has Gurley, I mean ONLY Gurley. I started by offering him AJG straight up, he declined and did say that he did not wish to trade Gurley but his team B-L-O-W-S. So I upped my offer to AJG, Duke, Hurns, Adams, my 1st and 2nd in 2016, he just let it expire, lol... His team.
