Give random 2019 1st
Get AJ Green
You'll reject the offer because accepting this trade is completely unfair to your future opponents because your team would now be much stronger than it was compared to the past opponents.

Actually , yes I would and have turned down obviously lowball asks in return for players. Many times I've said the other guys in the league will get pissed if we were to do x,y,z...deal.
Now if you said that the random pick was from last year's trade then it would be dependent. Everyone was stacking up firsts in hopes of landing Saquon,Guice or Chubb hoping that all would return to 100% status. I made such a trade with B. Cooks. Ended up being the 1.02 . Now we got trashed @ the time but we rolled the dice & other players were involved so trading for A.J. in exchange for a pick that has a chance of being top three in '19 plus adding a player to appease the masses I'd do. Because I have seen it go in favor of the pick before as Green has often been injured and is hitting the feared 30 yr old marker. Holding him that one year too long can risk getting anything near a top three 1st rd pick. If you don't believe me go ask Dez owners. Or B. Marshall from a couple of years back. Or Deymarius, or ... you get the point !
Now if you said OBJ or Hopkins then no way it should be considered anything but a collusion deal. And yes I have had pissed off owners offer similar deals which I have refused because it isn't fair to the league for deals like that to happen. They ruin leagues. Plus I take no pride in winning that way. I prefer it when I hear that we got the short end of the deal. Then it is even more enjoyable if it works out in our favor.
To the point of it not being fair to previously played opponents that's not even what is at question here. Everyone tries to improve their team and shouldn't apologize for doing so. Those teams had the same chance as me to acquire said players. Make a better offer to get them. If you've been inactive and miss out that's your fault.
We're talking about tanking to purposely lose. Not exactly apples to apples
