Speaking of LOL, you said Peterson hurts you twice. You seem to be saying it would be better to just CUT him rather than have him screw up your future pick situation.
Love it
If you knew for a fact that you wouldn't be a competitor for 2-3 years and you knew for a fact that you would never get an offer for AP, the smart play would absolutely be to drop AP. But things change quickly so you can always compete and someone at some point will make an offer for AP so you wouldn't just cut him.
But, at some point you have to weigh the offers and see what makes sense for you. If you think that it's the best offer that you will get (or close enough to an offer you will get at a later date after you win a few games and hurt your draft position), then you take the offer even if it is a little light.
People can laugh at this all they want but it's the smart play.
Poor value trade = smart play. I suppose I have seen it all now.
Are any of you actually in a league where this is all you could get for Peterson? Again, ESPECIALLY in a non PPR TD heavy league where APs value is much much higher than a normal PPR.
We aren't talking about the strategy of a rebuild here. We are talking about how terrible of a trad that was. But even if you want to incorporate strategy, this is poor strategy, and is always poor strategy, to take the bottom of the barrel value on a high end player.
I still have no idea why I am the only person mentioning the league scoring system. I think this is terrible value for AP in a regular PPR league, let alone the scoring system in that particular league where RBs rise in value by default, especially the ones who score the rushing TDs for their teams.
It's a terrible trade, and one of two things are true. Either this owner is just a bad owner and has no idea how to trade, or the other 10 owners who missed out are also bad owners.
