Worthwhile to give up unfair compensation for Larrry Johnson? (1 Viewer)

[RabidRabbit]

I'm not a top 3 RB owner.

But was wondering what you guys think their value is to a fantasy squad.

They certainly seem to take up the value of two RB starters, No?

There's that whole available replacement value thing. Give up 2 RB's to get one great RB

and then to replace one of the RBs you lost to acquire the stud, you have to start a lesser option.

Thoughts? Yes, Mr. ______ please enlighten the class.

I think it depends on what you have on your team. Not just what you'd give him, but also what you'd have left over.

is it a redraft league?

I was able to trade for LJ after the draft in a 3-man keeper.

I bundled TO, Dunn, and Brooks to get LJ, Jacobs and Brad Johnson.

My WRs are in bad shape, but I feel good about the trade. So good that I wouldn't make the deal if I was the one that had LJ.

Indeed. I think you robbed him.

Yeah. The above deal was robbery. He can look at that bunch and say, ok, lets say I didn't get a top draft pick -- which of those guys would I consider my first rounder? None.

Anyway. If an owner selected LJ with the first overall, I don't see how any packaged deal not including one of the other big RB's makes sense. I certainly wouldn't even look for a trade. The reason they are in a tier all to themselves is because they plus another RB should be greater than any 2 other RB's --- USUALLY. Thats the big advantage to having them.

It depends on who you have on your team because another owner will be reluctant to trade with you if he thinks it will make your team much stronger even if it means making his own stronger as well.

Ive seen it happen so many times, its frustrating.

I'm positive that he robbed him.

You should be arrested. Was he drunk? I bet he was drunk. He had to be drunk. Although -- I guess it depends on WHEN the trade was made -- several months ago when TO was a top WR prospect and people were higher on Brooks, it was closer to fair. Two weeks ago or this week?Not so much.

Was offered LJ for Steven Jackson and Chambers in one of my dynasty leagues...

This was right after we saw how terrible the KC o-line is this year. I think the guy panicked and was trying to get maximum value. I've never accepted a trade so quick (yes, he offered it).The best part is I already had LT. ninerfan, are you saying you turned down getting LJ because you didn't want to give up Jackson & Chambers?

This is a PATHETIC TRADE!You OBVIOUSLY play in a very weak league with very stupid people!No owner in his right mind would trade LJ for that crap!Posts like this make me realize how watered down this board is with the opinions of idiots!Can we start a "PRO" board????

I wouldn't even do that trade if LJ was hurt and out the first 3 weeks!Seriously, look at who he got......Brooks for B. Johnson = WASH, they BOTH suck!TO and Dunn for LJ and Jacobs.....EVERYONE knows how valueable RBs are. TO has been nothing buit inconsistant and unreliable recently. And I believe he was hurt on Aug 5th.Come on people.....you know this trade is horrible.PLEASE, find me an LJ owner that would trade him for TO and Dunn!!!!

Someone who may be a "shark" still may be forced to play with a few guppies in their leagues if they're playing with friends. I think I know more about football than a few of the people in my leagues but that doesn't indicate anything about my football knowledge.

Point taken!!! But still......Even a guppie should know to hold onto a top 3 RB with all their strength. Even the worst player in my league wouldn't have even considered that trade. You have to be not only fantasy illerate, but football illerate to do that trade.

It's laughable!

Is this a money league? Can I get in next year? What's the buy in? $1000? Or 5 dollars?

Grow up, guy. The thing that is really watering down this board are all the tools like you who cry about other people's "weak" leagues. Get off your high horse and stop hijacking threads. No one is impressed with how awesome you are.

I gave up Rivers, McGahee, Moss, and LJ Smith for Larry Johnson, Marion Barber, Sheffler, and Moulds.

I was happy, and the other guy was happy. Pretty fair deal, I think.
