I was going to ride TRich and Martin to at least a few titles over the next decade after their hot rookie season.
This is cringe worthy. :doh:

Oh well then it was all worth it :lol:

Live and learn. If I seem averse to buying RBs at top-dollar in my posts, now you know why.

Thankfully, I made a lot of trades to get several late 1st and early 2nds in 2014, and that has rejuvenated my team and taken me to a couple championships (old league in sig). Still can't beleive I gave up Bell though. I am even a Spartan fan!
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

my worst trade was this summer when Bell had his issues, i traded him for Moncrief and CJ Anderson
Too many teams and lineup changes to keep track of them all.

My worst was just after the startup draft for our league the year Odell came out - made before that rookie season even started.

Traded away Odell
For Kbenji and Kelce

Not horrific. But BAD. I was all in on Kelce and knew he would break out. Obviously had no clue how great Odell would be.

BUT...
The kicker...

I lost in the finals to the team I traded Odell to by less than 2pts.

Traded Michael Thomas for Melvin Gordon. Not bad

Then when Melvin Gordon was slowing down I flipped him for Lacy and a 3rd :wall: :wall: :wall:

And now my best running back is Latavius Murray. Kills me
I may or may not be related to Bryan Edwards

2015: Sent Julio Jones/Derek Carr got Gio & Hyde

2016: Sent Zeke & 1.09 for Kevin White & Jordan Matthews. (Guy got Michael Thomas with 1.09)

Both of these trades were in the same league with the same owner.. smh needless to say I am hesitant to make future trades with him lol
The bell for TRich trade wins the thread but this one wins the "what were you thinking you should've asked the forum before you made these trades" category. 1. At no point in their careers have gio and Hyde combined been = to Julio plus you gave up Carr!
2. With the hype that Zeke was already getting predraft you should've been able to get White, Matthews and a mid 1st not had to add 1.09.

I just found a trade I made in 2015. Gave Le'Veon Bell for Matt Forte, Christine Michael, Cody Latimer, and a 2016 1st. He knocked me out of the playoffs by 5 points and won the league. With his 1.12 I took DGB.

This season I got a little trade happy in our official move to dynasty in team 1, ended up making my first trade of pick 1.1/Alshon/Watkins for AB then turned back and traded Gronk to get pick 1.1 back. Though in the end it was basically AB + Fournette for Gronk/Alshon/Sammy. Seemed silly at the time but feels better now.

Luckily I have no horror stories yet to date.
