Traded for Barkley, should I feel bad? (1 Viewer)

[drewteam]

I'm not much of a wheeler and dealer. If I "win" a trade I sometimes have winners guilt lol. I feel bad for the other person because in the end we're all trying to have fun! Well today I pulled off a big (maybe?) one. 

I offered my brother-in-law D Freeman & DJ Moore for Barkley and he took it. 

Right away I was shocked not to receive a counter. I offered him Freeman or Michel plus another player and suggested maybe DJ Moore. He asked me to send over an offer and he'd look it over and see. I assumed he'd counter, maybe for Lockett instead of DJ. But he didn't and took it.

Kids like a brother to me but no matter what I do I can never send over my top offer (Lockett) in case this happens and they take my low end offer. He is 1-2 and down to just Gallman (added on waiver) and Alexander Mattison in week 4 in a must win game. Now he at least has Gallman and Freeman (FA are McCoy/Williams, Drake, Gore, usual trash). This makes it easier to swallow but I still feel guilty. It is an all friends league and we draft live together.

Should I feel bad? I know a few guys in the league wouldn't at the very least. Maybe this is the last time I try to take advantage of an owner in an fragile emotional state lol. 

Thanks guys. Cheers and good luck in week 4.

Edit: It is PPR Re-draft. We can keep late round picks but mostly a re-draft.

If this is a redraft absolutely not.  He could easily miss a month or more and your season could be over by the time he comes back at or near 100%.

Am I nuts not knowing who got the better of that deal? 

 

[Plaid Boxer]

I don't get how this was bad. Guy needs points NOW, not willing to wait until week 8 or 12 for Barkley to maybe come back 100%.

The trade? No. The thread and poll? Yeah.

I didn't think it was that bad but my league mates reacted like holy #### why would he trade Barkley... I was nervous making the offer a bit but I am confident I can get by,

He's out 4-8 weeks which will likely be closer to 8 weeks - so in redraft your bro in law got a decent deal.

Redraft--fair deal.  

Dynasty--you should go to jail for theft.

 

[fightingillini]

Guy needs to win.  He might have got a better deal for Barkley, but at least Freeman will produce for him now.  Adding DJ Moore is good as well.

It's not a bad deal given the situation

Assistant coach forum may have been a better place. if everyone poated their completed redraft trades in here it would be chaos. coukd have even posted in the dynasty inseason trade thread and just specified that it was redraft.

Keep your dirty little redraft trades out of the dynasty section.
