I've been in one (of 5) dynasty league for 8 years now and done really well. Won it last season and in 2020, a couple of 2nd places too. That's about as good as it gets for me!
Anyway, a new owner joins the league yesterday, having an owner orphan a team. With everyone ready, the rookie draft is scheduled to start today. But late last night, I see a trade completed with this guy trading the 1.01 and Justin Herbert for 1.11 and a Jayden Daniels. This isn't a SF league, but maybe the dudes mixed up, over-valued Daniels or whatever. It's annoying that one of the true contenders will snatch Jeanty, but there's no trade veto so nothing I can do.
But, I figured if someone else can pull off a winning trade from this guy, I should try as well. So I offer my 1.12 for Rome Odunze to see what happens. He counters by asking for Terry McClaurin on top of the 1.12, which I'm not doing. So I counter back with 1.12 & 2.12 for Rome & 4.01. He accepts immediately, and I feel like I've won the trade, though not by so much as the landslide of the 1.01 trade though.
An hour or so passed and I then see the guy has traded 1.11 (from the 1.01 trade), 1.12 (from the Rome trade) and his existing 2.01, for Trey McBride. Again, like 1QB, this isn't a TEP league, so it's a puzzling trade. Some might say he won that one, but it doesn't really make sense.
Any thoughts?
