2018 In-Season trade thread

[BigBawseRoss]

Let's see..... our league has had 6 trades this year so far, which makes me so happy considering I think our previous record for an entire year was 3 lol. Usually average 1-2 trades/year.

Anyway... 2 trades for my team in sig.


Trade 1 (during our draft the weekend before the season started):
Gave: Lamar Miller + 1.10 (other guy took Calvin Ridley)
Received: 1.08 (I took Nick Chubb) + the rights to a 2019 1st-round pick swap (my team was 1.08-1.10 territory, his was 1.05-1.08)

Wanted to sell Miller while I could, and didn't need a WR (only RBs left at 1.08 were Chubb and RoJo, who I didn't want and was taken at 1.09 anyway). Liked Chubb and this was my only chance to get him. Would've taken Sutton if I held onto the 1.10. Happy with this trade so far.



Trade 2 (right before week 5 started), with the same team I made trade 1 with:
Gave: Michael Gallup + 2019 2nd (late) + 2020 2nd (late) + the 2019 1st swap option now belongs to him
Received: Tom Brady

Definitely gave up value at first glance, but buying QBs in this league is a bitch. Competing but Wilson had just not been getting the job done, really needed QB help for 2018 and possibly 2019. With small roster space, Gallup + both of the 2nd's were already fringe roster assets, so in my mind the biggest thing I gave up was the 2019 1st-round swap. Brady has been a much needed improvement so far. Time will tell if this was a "pointless" buy, but I was not ready to take a gamble on Wilson improving in 2018.

that trade 2 is shockingly bad

This one went down in my league last week:

Barkley in exchange for:

Winston, 2019 first (likely late) and second (likely late), 2020 first (likely late) and second (likely late)

Man that's cheap for Barkley.

Yikes. I mean, we play for fun so we like to go get our guys, but... you overpaid by almost a Travis Kelce IMO.

I wish you would’ve at LEAST gotten a First and a 2nd back, or something

I would definitely not give up Barkley and M. Brown for Mixon and Walton. That isn't close. I think Mixon and Kelce is an overpay that a Barkley owner would need to give him up.

I thought it was sarcasm, but now it doesn't seem like it? I'd love to have either Mixon or Barkley on my team, but I'd pay quite a bit more to get Barkley over Mixon as most would.
Mixon plus Walton is no where near Barkley (and Brown).

I agree that almost no one would sell Saquon for Mixon, but the difference definitely shouldn’t be the TE1 in dynasty.

I know it was perhaps a slight overpay but my thinking was that I have a bit of a flattering record and have no real chance to compete for a title so it sets me up for the coming 2-3 seasons. Beyond that I can't help but feel like come the offseason that Barkley's price will skyrocket as the hype machine begins to pick up speed. I'd be very surprised if I could get the same deal come February or March so it made sense to do it now.

Received: Ronald Jones

This popped up in my inbox and I was a bit hesitant at first. Considering I am solid at RB I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

Kicker premium league?

[The Grudge]

For the team in my sig, I traded Barber and Hyde for Burton. Currently the points leader and sitting in 3rd place for the season.

I don't like this unless it's a 2QB or Superflex.

Kicker premium league?

Not necessarily but kickers get -5 for missed xp and decently high scoring fgs. Last year be regularly put up 15-17 where other kickers were regularly single digits or occasionally double. He won weeks.

Gave: 2019 2nd round pick (probably mid) and Keelan Cole
