player to be named later trade in fantasy leagues? (1 Viewer)

[longlip]

any leagues that allow a trade to happen for a player to be named later because the other team would be in a bad bye week situation if the player was traded at that time.. just curious

Seems a little bit like a short term rental of the player to be traded later... For that reason it probably shouldn't be allowed.

No trades with future considerations.

As a commissioner, if two teams came to me with something like the below scenario, I'd go with it. However, I'd need both teams to send me e-mail that they agree to the terms, because I would force the second part of the trade the following week.

This week, we're going to trade player A for player B, but we also are going to trade player C for player D next week and have agreed in advance to do it (because of byes).

This might be because player A for player B might not be exactly fair (think M. Turner for Felix Jones), but the player C for player D (Garrard for Brees) evens the trade out for the teams (not thinking veto, just something the teams are interested in -- nobody in 2009 would trade Turner for Felix Jones straight up -- at least I don't think they would).

All 4 players would have to be different (i.e. one guy couldn't go back and forth -- that would be renting), and I doubt this would ever be worked out in an actual trade, but I think it's OK. It would have to be handled on a case by case basis though.

How do people feel about performance based compensation in trades. For example, team a trades to team b ricky williams and a 2010 pick for slaton for example. The pick would depend on williams performance. If he finsihes top20 in your league it's a 3rd otherwise a 2nd.

traded for Lee Evans about 3 or 4 years ago, his break out year. gave up a 1st round rookie pick the next year. also in the trade was a performance compensation- if he had 10 TDs the last 7 weeks of the season i would also give up a 2nd round rookie pick, other owner's idea

thx for the replies....i dont like the idea but if the vote passes it ok to....the trade has to be finalized within 2 weeks of the first player traded..but it does seem to me like a rental player also.

Most of my leagues allow for contingent picks if the contingency is spelled out clearly. We do not allow split trades.

I can't really imagine a good reason not to allow trades with performance-based compensation, unless you're worried about owners leaving the league- which is a completely separate league issue. With quality owners in place, these trades make perfect sense to me.

no future consideration. If you allow it, where do you draw the line? Especially as it nears playoff time...

Performance-based compensation for draft picks should be acceptable as long as the compensation options are specified publicly, including the trade execution date (which should be immediately after the season ends).
