What would it take for you to trade a top 10 dynasty player?
I know there are too many different specifics to consider a one-size-fits-all approach. I'm not looking for, nor do I want to get into, specific player rankings. I'm more interested in a general discussion. For argument's sake, let's assume you have a team and are considering blowing it up. Maybe you only have one proven stud on your roster, and you're miles away from being a contender in your league. Do you have a rule of thumb in mind on what it would take for you to trade that one player away? Type of league (PPR vs Standard scoring) and specifics really don't matter, assume that the player is top 10 for your setup. Also assume they are still at or near peak value.
If I'm going to trade one of those guys for picks and prospects, I'm usually trying to get the equivalent of 3 solid prospects and/or first rounders (rookie picks) at least. If I'm going to trade a proven stud for a pick or players that haven't yet demonstrated elite NFL ability maybe just glimpses, the return isn't worth the risk. Too many "high potential" guys never come close to their projected ceiling.
If I'm near contention, I'd be looking to add this type of player, so my asking price would be so high as to make it virtually impossible to find anyone willing to give what I'd want.
