Trade Offers for rookie after you make the pick

[lawilt]

How do y'all approach trade offers for a rookie that come in right after you make the selection?

Do you expect a higher return for that player than what you would've taken prior to making the selection since you now know you took the player that owner covets?

I don't see why you would take less than what you would have prior. That doesn't make sense.

Now, if you are approached by someone who is OTC and another player you were waffling over at your own pick is still there... I guess you could consider it depending on what else you are getting.

I wouldn’t necessarily expect a higher return, but I would take it into consideration when pressing for a balanced win-win trade, if the other owner has something that interests me.

I’ve been on both sides of that situation and like to adhere to the golden rule: Treat others as you would want them to treat you.

Just approach it like any other trade, but know that you have the leverage.

Chances are they thought the player would fall and they didn't. So now they're in a position of regret, panic, etc ... If the initial offer is fair I don't try to gouge them. But definitely use it to your advantage. I try to work quickly.

I wanna capitalize on whatever they were thinking in the moment when they sent the offer.

I completed this type of trade once. Big rebuild, had stockpiled a ton of 2020 picks. I think 9 of the top 16.

At 1.07, had Jefferson rated much higher than Jeudy but also had 1.09 and 1.10. Selected Jeudy gambling that Jefferson was more likely to slip. Jefferson went 1.08.

Immediately started making offers for JJ and after some back and forth, it was clear the other manager would only accept if I gave both 1.09 and 1.10. Made the deal. Would have gone Ruggs and Raegor if keeping the picks.

I got flamed hard for that trade but had tons of picks and a note that said “Jefferson no matter what” lol. It worked out.

Point is, don’t discount that the other person might “overpay”. Maybe they’re just kicking the tires but there’s a decent chance they desperately want the player. And…it might still blow up in your face!

That will probably always be my favorite trade ever.
