You know it's a great offer if they have to spend a lot of time trying to convince you that it is. Ha.oneson9192 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 7:44 am I'd like to submit one that is subtle but really grinds my gears:

Re: Why is it such a pain in the a** to trade with people?
Right? Live by the sword, die by the sword. I hate guys who say they love this calc or that but then when I point out a trade in their favor say, "Oh but not like that. No. Pass." WTH dude, either go with your gut or use a calc, just let me know what language you speak.

Re: Why is it such a pain in the a** to trade with people?
Before offering a trade I try to put myself mentally in the mindset of the other owner basically I try to imagine myself as the owner owner of that team and surmise what he would think his weaknesses are and what kind of offer I’d take to make a deal if I owned that team. It doesn’t always work (most guys don’t even look at their trade offers in my leagues for whatever reason) but nobody walks away dissatisfied when it does

Re: Why is it such a pain in the a** to trade with people?
As long as you don't try too hard selling how your offer is the "right thing" for their team to do. That is often off putting. Present it and then wait for the responseFinfansteve wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 7:10 am Before offering a trade I try to put myself mentally in the mindset of the other owner basically I try to imagine myself as the owner owner of that team and surmise what he would think his weaknesses are and what kind of offer I’d take to make a deal if I owned that team.

Re: Why is it such a pain in the a** to trade with people?
No. I just try to put myself in the other owners position and think about what kind of offer might entice me to take it most of the time it doesn’t work but at least I try to consider their needs and match them up with any strengths I might have on my rostercazzie33 wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 8:59 amAs long as you don't try too hard selling how your offer is the "right thing" for their team to do.

Re: Why is it such a pain in the a** to trade with people?
Trading CAN be a pain. To minimize the pain I do a few things.
1. Don't send blind trades. Always start off with a conversation "Would you be open to moving this player?" or " any interest in this player?"
I'm not gonna waste time trying to convince someone in a deal they're not interested in
2. Be reasonable. understand that you might not be able to move or get a player/pick for what you think they're worth.
3. Be Transparent. I always try to be as candid with my values as I can. It's way easier to get a deal done when both parties aren't playing games.
4. Understanding your league mates. There are some guys that I won't even reach out to unless there is a particular pick or player I'm looking at. Sometimes it's just not worth trying.
Im not gonna say that this fixes all issues when it comes to trading, but it can for sure minimize some of the pains
