This is guy is asking too much for Kamara, right??

Postby SteelLake » Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:04 pm

Have an owner consistently blowing up my phone about what I'll give him for Kamara. I'm obviously intrigued, cause Kamara, but this is too much right? Finally got him to actually make an offer and he laid out the following:

10 team, SF, PPR / 6 points per passing td
1.03
1.04
Likely very late 2022 1st
Taysom Hill
Tua

I've now tanked for 2 years, hoping I can FINALLY put stuff together for this year.. It just seems like he's asking for 4 1st's and a 2nd for 1 player. I'm guessing that's dumb, particular since my roster can use an influx of the draft picks I've been trading for / isn't 1 player away from being a powerhouse.

Current Roster:
Wilson, Burrow, Tua, Taysom Hill, Wentz, Rosen, Stidham, Wolford
Dobbins, Singletary, Scott, JJ Taylor, Hasty, Ty Johnson, Ogunbowale, Ito Smith
Ridley, Allen Robinson, Aiyuk, Beckham, , Gallup, Landry, Coutee, Peoples-Jones, Fulgham, Guyton, Demarcus Robinson, Quez Watkins, Tyron Johnson, Hansen
Fant, Howard

Bold = current starter... Italics = likely cut (did this quickly, I need to cut 6 from that before season, plus all my draft picks)

Other assets:
2021 draft picks:
1. 1.01
2. 1.03
3. 1.04
4. 2.04
5. 2.08
6. 2.10
7. 3.04
8---- (all my 4th overall picks, draft keeps going until done, not allowed to trade after 3rd round)

2022 draft picks:
1. My 1st round pick
2. A likely late 1st round pick
3. A likely late 1st round pick
4. My 2nd round pick
5. A likely middlish 2nd round pick
6. A likely middlish 2nd round pick
7. My 3rd round pick
8. A likely early 3rd round pick
9. A likely late 3rd round pick

I dont think that is too much to ask, but given your build, I dont think Kamara fits your team super well by the team you might be competing.

TY Agree on not fitting, just wanted to check, since its Kamara... Curious (since I value all the opinions you post on here). How much longer do you think until I can compete.

I was hoping, draft a top RB, pair with Dobbins, maybe trade for another WR, and see how my team does in 2021 (sell if needed).

I was a top team for the 1st 5 years, let my team get ANCIENT, and after 1 disappointing year / then 2 years of purposely tanking, I'm starting to wonder when this rebuild period will ever end (1st time rebuilding)

In a ten teamer, no I don't think that's too much for kamara. You seem to have way too many QBs on your roster. I don't see a reason to trade for kamara unless you are a legit championship contender with him and I don't see that being the case.

Most of those QB's are getting cut... I just picked up a bunch of random guys that have SOME shot to increase in value, when I traded everyone this year. But, yea... we transitioned into SF, I invested in QB as part of rebuild (was tanking last season of non-SF, so traded older guys for QB's that weren't valuable that year). I thought league would value QB's by now, and I could flip once SF, but they just don't... at all. Holding out still, and panicking over if I should take another in Lawrence with 1.01....

Sometimes coming out of a rebuild is really tough, but stay the course, keep your picks and make smart deals as they come.

I cant believe the trade partner doesn't want the 1.01 in that deal, I would seriously be considering that trade since you get him and the best player available in the draft also. I know you may not quite be ready to compete with those wrs but I am thinking you may be able to do this and then after the nfl draft trade this same guy the 1.01 and a lesser wr for the 1.03 or the 1.04 and a better wr when he sees where the players land and panics to get the best one!!!

On value alone, this is not asking too much IMO. Your team doesn't look non-competitive to me at all, but my league is very top heavy, so that could just be my lack of exposure talking. I think Kamara gives you a great competitive boost, but I could also see holding those assets to continue loading up. The strongest point I could make in favor of holding, whether you're sold on taking on Kamara or not, would be to let those picks continue appreciating leading up to the draft and to see what Kamara's situation looks like in the off-season then move from there. Both buying and selling Kamara is tricky business right now.

I love Kamara but just no. Think it through for your SF league. Random draft projection
1.1 Trevor Lawrence
1.3 Etienne
1.4 Harris

Those 3 names rewrite your teams history. You WRs are solid and improving them is far easier knowing your QB room and RB room is good. If Etienne or Harris have a stud rookie year you could actually contend.

I disagree that it's fair value. I get that it's 10 teams and SF isn't as important there, but it's still 2 top 4 picks, another 1st and Tua. That's a heavy price to pay with a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Saints QB situation. No thanks.

Then you grab Chase or Smith or see if 1.05 wants to pony up to your spot to get his fav QB option before you "snag" it. Still cant lose and better than Kamara for you.

Keep your picks. Take Lawrence and two of Etienne, Harris, Williams. If you aren't in the hunt yourself, trade a QB mid season to a contender for a RB for a much better value. Tua's value in the trade market from what I've seen is (imo wrongfully) tanked rn just because of how well Burrow and Herbert looked this season. So by taking the picks now, you get more time to see his value hopefully swing back up, and also see how Kamara is looking without Brees. I'm not sold on a definite decline, but it's certainly a risk. Looks like you put a lot of time into this tank acquiring all those picks, I wouldn't rush to give it all up for a 26 year old RB with some legitimate concerns at QB right now.
