What is the worst dynasty trade you have been offered? (2 Viewers)

I am new to the league and sure this owner is just testing me but he is on my make him over pay list if he comes to me wanting a player.

Anyways here was the deal.

I give Calvin, Martin, Khiry and Ebron and a 2015 second.

I get Lacy, Mike Wallace and a 2015 first.

 
I was offered the 2.08, 2.11, and 3.02 for Sammy Watkins. The same guy offered me the 2.11 and Daniel Thomas for a 2015 first (low-mid).

 
Ghetto Beatdown Squad proposed a trade with I Am The Shark:

Ghetto Beatdown Squad will give

Davis, Mike OAK WR

Grant, Ryan WAS WR

Hazel, Matt MIA WR

Royal, Eddie SDC WR

Washington, Nate TEN WR

To I Am The Shark for

Jones, Julio ATL WR

Yes, I'd like to accept this trade.

No, I'd like to reject this trade and offer a counter-proposal.

No, I'd like to reject this trade completely.
WTF
I think my response would be something like "I think you meant to send this to Team X. He has James (or Jacoby) Jones. You sent this to the Julio Jones owner by mistake".

It's not THAT bad, I mean, even if only one of those players ends up being as good as Julio Jones he has made a profit. :excited:

 
Worst, in a good way

I get, Foles

He gets, Joe Fauria .

Te premium scoring, my team was pretty dry at TE. Foles had only had one start i think, and fauria had just caught 3 TDs in a game lol. Long story short, i declined ( facepalm)

Buuuuut then i stole Foles anyway later for a 2nd and 3rd rookie pick

He has Charles so I countered with David Wilson for Charles and a 1st

 
Get

Dez Bryant

Give

A.Green,J.Jones,M.Ingram
I know people who wouldn't sell Dez for that.
IMO those people are idiots haha
Agreed(well, i dont think they are idots), i would take Green straight up for Dez.
I would take all 3 of them over Dez.
I assumed that was James Jones, if thats Julio, I agree I would take each one of them over Bryant. That would also make that an even more ridiculous offer.
How is Ingram over Dez working out for you guys now ? :lol:

 
Was offered this one last night in a non-PPR:

I'm the Patriots.
:lmao:
But he threw in a 5th!!

CJ Spiller + 2.07

Stevan Ridley + 1.12
Is this really the worst dynasty trade offer you've ever received?
It's certainly the worst one so far this off season.
Which side are you? By June ADP Spiller is #41 and 2.07 is #114. Ridley is #104 and 1.12 is #91. So I guess the trade is a bit on the cheap side for Spiller, but ultimately it comes down to how much difference in value you see in the draft picks. By ADP they are close but there is a tier gap there which owners will value very differently. It's certainly not an outrageous offer either way. I don't mean to pick on you but half the trades in this thread are pretty fair offers - or at least close enough to be a decent first offer. There's a lot of cognitive bias where owners put too much value on their own players, but oddly enough it is just as much from the people on the receiving end of trade offers in this thread.

I only do only one league, and not a very active one at that. Offers come few and far between. What to me seems very unfair, apparently is routine. NBD.

I have Spiller, who ranks 20 spots ahead of Ridley in MFL RB ADP. Seems like a very large downgrade to only move up 7 spots in a rookie draft. But I digress.

Yeah, it's not a very fair offer on its face, but I usually read offers like that as "hey, just as an FYI, I'm interested in acquiring Spiller and pieces like Ridley and my first are on the table", not as "hey, I'm trying to get something for nothing and I think so little of you that I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope you accept".

 
I just got offered a pretty bad one...

3. Jack Attack / Rosterbaters Trade Rejected
A lot of times people will jokingly say that they don't know which side of the deal is supposed to be the bad one, but in this case, I really have no idea which side of that deal is supposed to be the bad one. A lot of owners still have Gordon in their top 12. Those owners will consider it a ridiculously low price to acquire him. A lot of other owners have Gordon outside of their top 30. Those owners will consider it a ridiculous overpay for him. Since I don't know which side of the fence you fall on, I really have no idea which side of the trade you think is unfair (although, given that the offerer was giving Gordon, I'm assuming you fall on the low side of the fence and think it would be an overpay for him).

I've consistently been among the lowest Gordon rankers on the internet, but I have to admit, I actually have a team where I'd accept that offer right now (extremely deep at WR, with 6 top-20 receivers, so Gordon would have a much better chance of cracking my regular rotation than AJ and Wallace).

If he ever plays again.

Agreed, wasnt sure which way he thought it was bad.................doesnt belong

 
4 trade offers. Same league. 2 from same guy.

I give Doug Martin

I get cj Anderson and kapri bibbs

I own ball and "now I will have a definite starter for the broncos" was the note attached to the offer.

I give m ball

I get James and Sims (rbs Tampa Bay)

Same logic as above.

I give Jimmy Graham and 2015 1st round pick

I get Larry Fitzgerald and Wes Welker and 2015 5th round pick

I give julio jones

I get M Evans and 2015 2nd round pick

I just read offers for a laugh and delete.

 
I think a lot of times their explanation of WHY you should take the deal is most amazing part of it.

In a 12 team start 1 QB league with regular PPR scoring some guy tried to explain to me that Stafford was worth more than Jordan Cameron "because Stafford scores a lot more points".......................I mean, I don't care to debate at all who is more valuable. That wasn't the issue in this case. But given the scoring setup this poor attempt at talking me into a deal was enough to make my head explode with laughter.

I told him I would deal him Russell Wilson for Calvin Johnson and that he should take it cause Wilson outscored Calvin. Needless to say, he realized he was an idiot.

If he ever plays again.
That was encapsulated in my "much better chance" assessment. If Gordon only has a 20% chance of playing ever again, that still means there's like a 19% chance that he'll one day be a regular in my starting lineup.

People who are certain that Gordon will never play again are making the same mistake as the people three months ago who were certain that Gordon would never fail another test. There are a whole range of possible outcomes with respect to Josh Gordon. Failing to evaluate the entire range of possibilities will result in skewed player valuations.

I mentioned this one a year ago, but one of my leaguemates once asked me if I was interested in getting younger at QB, and I responded that I was always interested in getting younger at every position, so he offered me his Brandon Weeden for my Matt Ryan.

Brandon Weeden is a year and a half older than Matt Ryan.

 
I give julio jones

I get M Evans and 2015 2nd round pick

I just read offers for a laugh and delete.
I know this may sound nuts to you..

But two years from now you may wish you took this offer. I mean... as huge as I am on Evans, I probably couldnt click accept at this point - but that foot... I dont trust that foot.

And Evans is a behemoth

I was also thinking that Evans and a 2015 1st might be enough to get me to bite. Now, Martin/Ball for the TB/Den backups is a slightly different story.

Agree 100%.

What's terrible about that? I'd prefer the Watkins side, but it's not terrible. The 2 teams involved are trading a bunch of question marks. There isn't a sure thing in that group.

Yeah I see it, but rookies are always overvalued in startups. I'm not saying I'd prefer the 1st side, but it's far from terrible. If Blackmon returns he could be as valuable as Watkins (doubtful but possible). Bryce could be more valuable than Hyde and Reed is and still could be more valuable than Ebron.

I'd definitely like my chances on the Watkins side, but it's not TERRIBLE.

 
Not nearly as bad as most here, but what the heck. 14 Team Super Flex so QBs are a premium.

Was offered Bernard Pierce (drafted in the 13th round in May) for Jay Cutler (drafted in the 6th round in May).

When those numbers back up how I have them ranked, yes.
