I've had so many bad offers this past month that it's ridiculous but here's one more. I messaged a McCoy owner who had stated that everyone was on the block. If I'm interested in someone I'll usually message the owner and try to get a conversation started and a lot of times you can kinda get to know owners, etc. Anyway, I ask him what he's looking for and instead of just sending a message back, he sends this offer

I give: Mixon & D.Adams + 2018 1st
I get: McCoy & Eric Swoope

That's horrible.

Contender for Worst Trade offer of July 2017?

SIR REDZONE will give
Year 2017 Draft Pick 2.10
Year 2017 Draft Pick 3.10
To Macho Business Donkey Wrestler for
Mixon, Joe CIN RB

The 2.10 and 3.10 are rookie picks in a 12 team dynasty PPR league. Needless to say, I'm MBDW. In fairness, every offer I've gotten from Sir Redzone is clinically insane, so I tend to think that he's got to be new to Dynasty (he took over an orphan) and has no idea whatsoever of what constitutes fair value.

That name might be the greatest fantasy football name I've ever seen.

Maybe not as bad as some but had me shaking my head. 5 round rookie draft,
4.01 and 5.01 for the 3.03 and 5.09. So, ya want me to drop 10 spots in the early 3rd to gain 8 spots in the 5th round......ya, lemme think about that-NOTHANKS!!

I have a question on this one for you. Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but I've done a lot of trades like this on both sides of the equation (move up and move down).

To be clear, I agree with your interpretation here. He should be giving 1.5x to 3x the move up on the low side as compared to the move up he's getting on the high side.

But, if he had offered 4.01 and 5.01 for 3.03, would you have seen it as as bad? I'd see it as still light (10 spots in the 3rd is a big drop), but certainly counterable especially if he has another asset or pick or two valued in the 3.4 to 3.12 range.

As I said, I've done a lot of trades of giving or getting 2 picks or players for 1, the 2nd pick or player is basically a buy-up price. Granted, it's not usually 10 rookie draft spots, but maybe looking at it that way might give you an idea for a counter if he has another pick or player worth between 3.4 and 3.12?

I see a lot of misunderstanding - not saying that's what happened here - with that lowest piece in deals, which some of my leagues require to "equalize" the number of assets on each side (i.e. they don't allow 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 deals).

Just a thought, hope it helps you get a deal out of this.

He's one of those players where if you own him, you'll almost never get what you think he's worth, and if you don't own him, you'll almost never give anywhere what the other guy wants for him.

devy .25 point per carry PPR
Give: Nick Chubb (devy league)
Get: CJ Beathard SFO, Donnel Pumphrey, JJ Nelson, DeAngelo Yancey

It might be the worst offer i have ever received of all time. 3 of 4 guys were picked up off waviers ! Id would have to cut 3 guys(team 1 in sig) which would be 3 of 4 that were coming in LOL

I don't even know of Beathard/Yancey they must be 4th or 5th on their teams depth chart !!

I actually don't think the 1st offer was that bad. I see it as Tyreek for Tate+fitz(probably his last year)+Kupp(usually 3rd round rookie pick). A young Wr who showed potential for aging assets. Many people in the community value Tyreek highly(I'm not one). I would want your side but its not totally awful IMO.

This one isn't necessarily terrible but I thought it was bad considering my team. For a 12 team PPR, not in sig.

I give: Diggs, 2018 1st
I get: Jordan Reed, 2018 3rd

First off, I'm high on Diggs and just so-so on Reed, only because of all of the concussions. The other thing is, I already have Ertz & Bennett at TE so it's just a dumb offer to make to me, imo.
