Is this trade BS?

12 man ppr
Team 1 Team 2
Gives: Bell, Beasley, Fourth round Pick (low) Gives: Melvin Gordon, DeDe Westbrook, 1st Round Pick (Projected Top 3)

The leagues thinks the trade is BS, but we can't prove collusion. It'll go through, but I wanted to gauge your guys thoughts.

I call BS, Bell = MG or close sure MG value is wonky cause of holdout, Beasley < Westbrook, 4th < 1st. Hmmmm nothing close sept the RBs to being close to a real deal

Not a great trade, but not sure what you can do about it. I can see a Gordon owner getting nervous if they're trying to compete and overpay for what they think will be a top 5 RB.

[Paul717]

Sounds like one dude is super scared of an extended Gordon holdout. Pretend, you knew that Gordon was going to hold out all year. Is it still lopsided? But just playing devil's advocate here. Seems a bit lopsided.

Agreed, could have something to do with the Gordon holdout. Nothing you can do.

Don't see this as BS, the Melvin owner is risk adverse.

Is the 1st from the team who is trading for Bell? Still will be top 3 with Bell?

[BigBawseRoss]

seems like an incredibly fair deal that favors the new gordon owner if gordon plays a good bit of the season and gets a contract and his value doesnt go into a free fall.

[Mjvb5]

Even though we can say in a vacuum Gordon=Bell. There's no way in hell I'd make that swap as a contending team with Bell without getting something substantial coming back my way with all the uncertainty on MG3. Would I make this no, but its definitely not BS

No collusion. That is the only thing that matters.

[RB6]

Bad trade. Get over it.

[notweswelker]

Fair trade in my eyes. Bell is the safer bet this season. If you're trying to win the ship this year I can totally buy paying a small premium to go from MG3 to Bell. MG3 may sit for weeks/months.

I don’t like the trade personally but it’s not something I would get mad at. As long as it’s not collusion move on and try to make your own deals.

Yes, his starting Wrs rn are Enunwa and Edelman. Edelman is obviously good but for those two to be your 1 and 2 then downgrade on wr in this trade it looks bad.

[abloom]

trade looks perfectly fine.

Bell > Gordon (until hold out is over)
Westbrook > Beasley
1st > 3rd

It ultimately comes down to how long Gordon's holdout is, and where he gets his next contract. Trade makes sense to me.

[Flgatorguy87]

If I was a Bell believer and was also contending with depth I don't think its absurd and certainly not something that would get my panties in a bunch in my league.

If Gordon holds out all year are people going to change their mind?
