I am well aware that almost all trades should be allowed unless it is clear collusion. But I'm going to just throw this one out there as there are many unhappy owners in this league about this one.
Redraft, the trade is between the last place team (2-8) in a 10 team league and the first place team (9-1). They are friends.
Last place team receives: J. Connor, D. Henderson
First place team receives: Dalvin Cook, N. Harris
I admit this one rubs me the wrong way, especially since there is no realistic reason for the last place team to make the trade.
This is really a trade about Connor vs Cook.
Eno has been released so Connor has zero competition for touches and Cook always carries the risk of a separated shoulder.
Henderson for Najee is a wash. Harris is losing touches to Warren.
At first glance, yeah, this looks bad but if you dig in a little it really isn’t that terrible of a trade.
Connor isn't exactly an iron-man. He has a long history of injury going back to his days with the Steelers and Pitt Panthers. This is an awful trade IMO and without knowing the league rules and how this benefits a 2-8 team, it seems very fishy
Like Cook, Connor is also glass but when healthy, like Cook, he produces.

Sorry, but there is no sugar coating this trade.
Yup, this happens every year and often times injuries pop up. Just let the fantasy gods play things out.
The guy is 9-1 with or without this trade. It is funny how these threads NEVER show the rosters of the teams to flesh out context.
Would I accept Connor and give up Cook? Personally, probably not, but at 2-8, I also can’t say that Cook has been the difference maker for me either.
This is about brand name and not much more.
