I do hate the spam trade offer approach. If the owner is willing to actually have a good faith discussion after the opening offer, then there's hope. Even if the offer towards you is completely silly, it does provide some information, who they are willing to sell, and who they are trying to buy. Information can be useful, as long as a productive discussion follows.
One of my favorite aspects of being in a dynasty league is the psychology of the trade - the gamesmanship. Any time I get to go back and forth via the phone or e-mail, I jump at the chance. I see trading as a multi-year chess game that can last years. So I never see these as a waste of time.
Well, obviously, that's an insane offer. And the easy response would be, "Are you out of your mind?" But sometimes I will reject an insane offer with a completely different trade and the owner accepts. Again, that he sent you the offer tells me he is interested.
Absolutely. I'm not someone who won't trade with people after that either. I sent a polite message back saying I wasn't in the market for a QB and wouldn't trade Green for anything.No need to burn bridges
I had to read it twice to figure out which side was the unbalanced side, which suggests it's not really "worst trade offer" material. I could easily see someone who believed that McFadden was a stud and Mathews would never be healthy who would prefer the McFadden side on that one.
There's you problem...This thread is always good for laughs. And (hint) it isn't because the offers are that bad. Ever.'Andrew74 said:
I know that but some unknown 1st 2 years out isn't worth two top 5 picks. A 2nd isn't worth that much.
I was offered this a few days ago:Chris JohnsonBeanie WellsI give:HarvinD.WilsonTorrey SmithNormally, I would just decline and move on. But this guy always criticizes my offers, so I basically asked him if he was high...told him I wouldn't trade Harvin by himself for CJ and Wells.In another league, I traded Ridley, Fitzgerald and 1.12 for D.Martin. Almost immediately, another owner sends me an offer for Martin by offering J.Stewart and Steve Smith. I said why would I turn around after what I gave up for Martin and then trade him for crap? I don't understand how some people think (or don't think, I suppose)...
Pretty bad, but I can at least imagine a universe where Shorts outscores Gronk for the next few years. He did put up something like 18 ppg down the stretch.
That is beyond insulting. I don't see how the other side could argue that this is good deal even if you own RG3.
I offered Rodgers straight up for Spiller, he said no chance and that's what he came back with.I do actually own RG3 in this case
that can't be real
It looks to be a real trade that was offered in 2010 judging by the fact that there was a 2011 draft pick involved.
I know who offered this
We're in the same league with him. Didn't you know that if you get more players in the deal you always win the trade 
Some guy offered me DRich, Andre Roberts, Golden Tate, and the 1.10 for DemThom yesterday. I
while rejecting.
If those are startup picks, I'm listening.
Then you are one of the suckers that makes these ripoff offers worthwhile.
The point isn't that he would accept it. Its that the offer isn't bad to the degree some other ones are.
Rookie picks. Should have specified.
Oh, I knew. That was a terrible offer.
"Interested? Yes. Interested in why you'd think I'd EVER accept this!"
How many keepers? If it's three, I could see this being a decent deal. If it's fifteen, not so much.
It's definitely not as bad as you think.
It's horrible... give me quality over quantityJohnson, Chris TEN RB - InconsistentWilliams, Ryan ARI RB - Huge injury historyRice, Sidney SEA WR - See Ryan Williams, not in a pass oriented offenseMiller, Heath PIT TE - An ACL for an older TE?Year 2013 Draft Pick 3.05 - I just love late rookie picksYear 2013 Draft Pick 4.08 - just keeps getting betterYear 2013 Draft Pick 5.05 - and betterYear 2013 Draft Pick 5.08 - ...Year 2013 Draft Pick 6.08Year 2013 Draft Pick 7.05Year 2013 Draft Pick 8.08forMorris, Alfred WAS RB - an excellent first seasonTate, Ben HOU RB - very good back in a run friendly offenseGresham, Jermaine CIN TE - solid and still quite youngYear 2013 Draft Pick 1.02 - a top 2 pick'doowain said:
Still having said that its not "worst offer ever" quality. Which is what I was pointing out.
Still very laughable to me.
I'm with you. They say "ignorance is bliss" but this type doesn't make me too happy.
