What is the worst dynasty trade you have been offered? (3 Viewers)

[Instinctive]

I get HORRIBLE offers daily in my 20 team dynasty. 1.1 and 1.2 for Brady ?

Honestly, if my team outside of Brady wasn't very good, I might take that and grab both QBs, or at least grab Luck and Richardson perhaps.

Heh, I thought he meant it was bad the other way...someone wanted him to pay the 1.1 and 1.2 for Brady. 1.1 and 1.2 are worth more than Brady IMO.

Clearly it doesn't belong in this thread. People need to get off their high horses...

Got offered Deangelo Williams for a first rounder the other day. I sent him back an offer of Sanchez for MJD.

He declined.

 

[DropKick]

A guy in my league sent me an offer. I get player A and he gets player B plus 2 more draft picks.I reject and put in the notes no thanks I actually think player B is better than player A.He responds "me too"

Isn't this why most trades are made? Because both sides like the other side more than the side they're giving up, for one reason or another? He was just being honest with you after you told him the trade was no dice. Unless you wanted him to keep up the polite pretense that he liked your side just as much? Obviously based on value he thought you should be adding picks to your side of the deal. That doesn't mean he can't prefer your player over his straight up.

We both agreed that my player was better than hisHe wanted me to give him the better player plus 2 picks for the lesser player

Re-read my post. It makes perfect sense in the context of what you're saying. You and I both think that McFadden is better than Rice, for whatever reason. You own McFadden. I want McFadden, and want to offer Rice. But value dictates that to get Rice from me, you have to add to your side of the deal, even if we both think McFadden is better. Doesn't matter, in every league Rice is worth more. You reject it, saying "sorry, but I think McFadden is actually better than Rice, so I'm not going to throw in two picks to get a player I like less". I admit "Yeah, I think McFadden is better too." But Rice is worth more.Obviously this is an example using two players that people might not feel that way about, but you get my point.

I get your point but agree with the other poster. I try to make legitimate offers and might even overpay a little to get a player I really like. Someone threw out the quote "you never know what someone else will accept"... this says a lot about people's mentality. The "me too" response from the other guy is an acknowledgement that he knew it to be a low-ball offer.

In a league where we can start up to 4 rbs and 1 pt ppr for everyoneI give R. Bush, Colston, and my 1st rd rookieI get RG3 and his 2nd rd rookie

This doesn't belong in this thread.

You can't be serious. A QB that hasn't played a down in the NFL for 2 ppr studs and a 1st rd rookie? You have to start 3 rbs in this league, and can play 4. Sorry, RG3 isn't a stud yet.

Bush is not a PPR stud. You talk like this is Sproles in this deal. A younger version. Its not. I didn't say it was a fair offer. I said it doesn't belong in this thread, because its not THAT bad.

Agree to disagree. In this league Bush is a stud........at least he was last year. Three years ago he was the #1 player by a wide margin for weeks before a season ending injury. I am definitely wanting to upgrade my QBs in this league as I have Fitzpatrick and Cassell with Kaepernick and Osweiller on my taxi. But, that offer is horrible for this type of league. Would definitely make that deal for a more proven QB. Too much risk involved for an unproven rookie.

It's a game. Sometimes you take risks. Neither Bush or Colston is a spring chicken and both have lengthy injury histories. I think both are "replaceable" players. I can definitely see taking this deal depending upon how my team was constituted. You need a "franchise" QB. Obviously, you see it differently but this is not a horrible deal.

It wasn't a lowball. It was a guy trying to capitalize on a market inefficiency by trading a player with higher trade value for one he actually prefers, and getting some extra out of it. He just got unlucky in that the person with the other player also disagreed with the market.

Y'all are crazy on the RG3 trade. I gave up Dez, Donald Brown and a future 1 and 2 for him and didn't blink.Yes this is a QB heavy league but it doesn't matter. He'll have Cam like value a year from now.

You can assume he will have Cam like value, but he doesn't right now.........at least not in my eyes. And this isn't a QB heavy league. I won this league last year starting Fitzpatrick and Matt Moore. Griffin is still an unproven rookie. You don't win leagues getting rookie fever like you have.

But you can certainly lose them by waiting for a player you believe in like RG3 to prove themselves first and then try to acquire him. I would have done this deal in a nanosecond even in a league that isn't QB heavy. If you didn't like the deal fine, but to list this as one of the worst trade offers ever is ludicrous IMO.I think Chris Wesseling (AKA Fear & Loathing) put it best in his pre NFL draft Dynasty rankings where he had RG3 as the #5 QB overall, from his comments:

I took to Twitter earlier this week for an informal poll atop tier two: should it be RGIII, Luck, or Brady at No. 5? Spare me the "haven't played a game arguments" for Griffin and Luck. That philosophy leads to egregious mistakes such as ranking Fast Willie Parker over Adrian Peterson, or placing Calvin Johnson below T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the offseason of 2007.

Healthy skepticism is encouraged, but there's not a lazier protest than "hasn't played a game." Potential difference-makers must be ranked high right out of the starting gates. It's not just that trade value skyrockets after the first breakout game; it's that they get taken off the table in trade talks immediately thereafter. If you want an untouchable player, you must assign a high value before the rest of your leaguemates.

In a 20-team dynasty, the 1.1 or 1.2 alone would be worth more than Brady, most likely. Now BOTH? That is borderline ridiculous...Hint: the more teams in the league, the more value high picks have.

Really? Do we know who the actual players were? I just saw "a" and "b". If you like "b" better than "a" then offer a straight up deal. You don't need to "get something extra". I equate a "less than fair" deal to low-ball. I guess its just a matter of semantics.

Please...I own Thomas and wouldn't give him up for two seconds either in my dynasty league and the league isn't a standard league.I was recently offered a trade that included Thomas...He receives: DEN WR Demaryius Thomas, CAR OL Amini Silatolu(picked him with a 3rd round, 6th pick), my 2013 1st round pickI receive: MIN DT Kevin Williams, NE OL Nate Solder(picked last year with 3rd round, 1st pick)To show you the difference in the two offensive lines for our scoring...when not including the playoff weeks(14-16), a full-time healthy starter on NE OL had 256 total points while a CAR OL had 214 total points. Average difference of 3.23 points a week. Plus, I already have NE OL Sebastian Vollmer. My DTs are CIN Geno Atkins and PHI Cullen Jenkins, so I'm not weak there either.Now THAT is a horrible offer...and 1st/2nd rounders are worth more in this league than standard leagues due to the larger rosters, # of positions, and larger starting lineups.While yours is bad it's nothing to get offended over. Offers are usually expected to start with slight lowballs...it's only worthy on this thread when it's as bad as the offer I received.

A QB like Brady can also do enough damage in a 20 team league to win you a championship on his own.I agree the Brady owner is asking too much so you should shop elsewhere but depending on your team rules and scoring this offer might not be that far off. I could see giving 1.02 and possibly something else for Brady.No way would I trade Richardson for anything though. If you have that pick hold on tight.

[packseasontix]

There are so many babies in ff. Did you ever think some of these were joke offers and if not who really cares, also I saw someone wrote they got offered nothing for 1.01, that is a hint they are interested but don't have a clue what to offer. While some people just have a laugh and move on others take it personally which is just dumb on your part. If they offer strange deals I take it as a chance to get a steal out of them later since they have weird value on players.

[SeanTaylor21]

I'm beginnig to think the title of this thread should be changed to "Touchy and Easily "OFENDED" Dynasty Owners Check In Here."

Many of the trades posted are hardly "the worst" or even bad. Some are only bad in retrospect, others are bad because the future is unkown. Last season, before the regular season started nobody would have considered trading someone like B.Wells for Ingram even close to fair - now it's debatable - on both sides.

Here's hint #1: PEOPLE DON'T ALL VALUE PLAYERS THE SAME - THAT'S PART OF THE REASON TRADING IS POSSIBLE.

Hint #2: Not every trade offer is an attempt to insult you/take advantage of you. If you ARE insulted, read hint #1.

I am not trying to kill this thread - but this idea that some of the trade offers in this thread are "unfair" or the "worst ever" is in itself ridiculous. [/rant]

Here's a couple recent ones in a 14-team dynasty league:

I give: Percy Harvin

I get: 2012 2.12 draft pick, 2012 2.13 draft pick, 2013 2nd round draft pick

I give: AJ Green

I get: DMC, Mario Manningham

and

I give: RGIII, Hakeem Nicks

I get: Andy Dalton, Felix Jones

[i accepted this one cause I need RB help]

Giving a top 10 dynasty QB and a top 5 dynasty WR surely could land you a better QB & RB combo.... at least a better RB

How is RG3 a top 10 dynasty QB?

Ask Sigmund Bloom, Jeff Pasquino, Bruce Hammond, Jason Wood, and Jeff Tefertiller; all have him in theier top dynasty QB top 10.

And? It's fine if you think so, but no way do I consider him in top 10 without a single game under his belt. Someone else can make that mistake.......and I like him as a prospect.

Fair enough, to each their own! I agree that it's crazy to pay so much for a guy who hasn't played a down but I am easily smitten by hype from "experts." I remember just last year how rookie QBs didn't carry any value until they played, then Luck and RG3 happened and now its craaaazy. I paid Crabtree, Lofton, and the 3.4 for the 1.02 pick (RG3) and the 2.10 (BQuick). I know I overpaid but I'm willing to take that chance!

while there are trades which merit discussion as to if they are really bad, the silly part of this thread are the condesending attitudes of people who think regular guys don't get pissed after they have dealt with work, family, traffic, etc., ya know just life in general that we all have only to finally relax and get some awful trade. Overtime people don't and should not like their time being wasted on someting with 1% or lower chance of being accepted. Stop acting like you always have perfect objective emotional balance in regards to fantasy football, the only person you are fooling is yourself.

And? It's fine if you think so, but no way do I consider him in top 10 without a single game under his belt. Someone else can make that mistake.......and I like him as a prospect.

Fair enough, to each their own! I agree that it's crazy to pay so much for a guy who hasn't played a down but I am easily smitten by hype from "experts." I remember just last year how rookie QBs didn't carry any value until they played, then Luck and RG3 happened and now its craaaazy. I paid Crabtree, Lofton, and the 3.4 for the 1.02 pick (RG3) and the 2.10 (BQuick). I know I overpaid but I'm willing to take that chance!

Overpaid? Are you kidding me?

There are so many babies in ff. Did you ever think some of these were joke offers and if not who really cares, also I saw someone wrote they got offered nothing for 1.01, that is a hint they are interested but don't have a clue what to offer. While some people just have a laugh and move on others take it personally which is just dumb on your part. If they offer strange deals I take it as a chance to get a steal out of them later since they have weird value on players.

You cared enough to read this thread and make a post. If it is as much of a joke as you seem to indicate, I am not sure why you bothered to waste your time making a comment.

while there are trades which merit discussion as to if they are really bad, the silly part of this thread are the condesending attitudes of people who think regular guys don't get pissed after they have dealt with work, family, traffic, etc., ya know just life in general that we all have only to finally relax and get some awful trade. Overtime people don't and should not like their time being wasted on someting with 1% or lower chance of being accepted. Stop acting like you always have perfect objective emotional balance in regards to fantasy football, the only person you are fooling is yourself.

Rough day? I don't care what the offer is, I am never offended. Just the opportunity to have a willing trade partner is enough for me. Everyone values players differently, if someone is willing to sit down at the table with you, find the deal that works for both of you. It's there, you just have to find it.

I'm not sure if this is literally the worst dynasty trade offer I ever received, but it's very very bad:

Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell for Jonathan Stewart and Julio Jones.

The best part though was the comment he put in the offer.

Comment: I hate doing this cuz it kills me short term but you have no backfield...murray is injury prone and thelawfirm is weak....greene gives you a true 3 down 1300 yrd 10 td back..

Yeah I'm sure it killed him to think I might accept that offer and kill his team. It's a ppr league so Stewart alone outscored Greene last season.

Got offered Deangelo Williams for a first rounder the other day. I sent him back an offer of Sanchez for MJD. He declined.

Not a garbage can offer at all if it's a low first round pick.It all depends on where the 1st round picks is located.

I was offered Jacob Tamme for AJ Green about a week ago after I put AJ on the trading block.

Now we're getting some trades that belong in here. Good grief.

Not the worst by any means but a couple days ago I was offered Russell Wilson for Hey-Bey (by the guy who traded me Hey-Bey in the offseason as part of a package). Didn't bother with a counter.

I debate putting offers in here because it's so silly, but what the hell it's Friday. We recently did our start up draft 10 team 2 QB league. I traded the 1.07 and a 2013 first for 1.01 with whom I took Rodgers (1.07 was Foster).

After the draft the same team offered Freeman, Steven Jackson and Santonio Holmes for Rodgers.

So if that offer wasn't absurd enough the total trade would have been Rodgers, Foster and a 2013 first for SJax, Freeman and Holmes.

I inquired about Fred Jackson the other day in a 2qb league, and the offer I received was....

Give - Greg Jennings and Philip Rivers

Get - Fred Jackson and Matt Schaub

This was in a start-up shortly after Jackson was drafted at 9.11 (only one required rb)...schaub was a 3rd rounder. Jennings was a third rounder (higher than schaub) and Rivers was a 2nd.

 

[UKColt]

I had the 1.01 pick in a startup and traded it away (along with an eighth) for the 1.11 & 2.02.

One of the other guys enquired about the 2.02 and I said I wasn't looking to trade but if he made me a good offer I'd consider it. I was mainly against trading with him as he'd already traded away his 2nd, 3rd & 2013 1st for an extra first rounder, so I didn't really see what he had to offer me.

He sent me the following:

I give: 2.02, 2.12 & 3.01

I get: 1.09 & 2013 2nd rounder.

I couldn't hit reject fast enough.
