TheCMB Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Team A gives up Peyton Manning to Team B for Matt Hasselbeck and Pierre Thomas. Team A is 2-7 - pretty much out of it, Pierre Thomas would marginally improve his RB corps (with Portis, Beanie Wells, and Mike Bell...ugh), and Hasselbeck would ride the bench behind Favre Team B is 3-6 - outside shot at the playoffs, but this trade would dramatically improve his lineup, which is very solid at every other position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I would take P-Thomas straight up over Peyton Manning so not sure what your talking about. Marginally improve his RB's ? You listed his RBs as Portis, Bell and Wells who are all crap P-Thomas is a superstar RB right now with a cake walk schedule the rest of the way I would take P-Thomas straight up over Manning Looks pretty fair to me from what you have spelled out here Edited November 11, 2009 by Henry Muto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 There's nothing suspicious about that trade at all. It's not even remotely close to being a bad trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I see no issue with the trade whatsoever. And there's nothing marginal about that upgrade at RB . . . it's a huge improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpholmes Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Looks pretty fair to me from what you have spelled out here I can't believe I'm saying this to a Muto post, but +1 Seriously... this looks to be a fair trade in just about any league - regardless of record.

Savage Beatings Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Collectively they are 5-13. What are you saying, that they are colluding to lose? Pssst. Hey buddy, I'll split half of my losses with you if you trade me Manning. Let's go out in a blaze of glory! :thelmaandlouise: Nothing wrong with this trade.

TheCMB Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Forgot to mention - passing TD's are 6 points, and it's a 14-team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Forgot to mention - passing TD's are 6 points, and it's a 14-team league. Let me guess... you are sitting at about 4-5 and are also on the cusp of the playoffs, and you have to face Team B sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormenyd Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah I think you are actually backwards on your thinking here. The guy that got Hasselbeck and PT actually got the better deal out of this one, not the other way around. I'm guessing everyone is right, you are 4-5 and now worried but this seems like a like a perfectly fair trade to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMB Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I love how you guys are such haters. I'm just asking for opinions to help me assess the fairness of the trade based on the situation. I'm not the commish, he e-mailed it out to everyone for a vote. For the record, my team is looking like it's heading to the playoffs, and we've already faced (and beat) Team B. Wouldn't play them again unless it was in the playoffs. (and yes, it's PPR - and bonuses for long TD's of 50+ yards) Edited November 11, 2009 by TheCMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grey Pilgrim Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Without knowing all the players on Team A or Team B, Team A currently has Peyton and Favre, and is definitely weak at running back. The smartest move Team A can make is to trade either Peyton or Favre for a solid RB since he can't play them both at QB. Even if Peyton is considered more valuable than PT (and that is questionable), the 2-7 Team A can actually afford to "lose" the deal and will now actually field a better team with Favre and PT in the same lineup, versus just playing Peyton before. I've seen a few rapes before, but this ain't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You need to institute rules if trades like these by owners who are nearly mathematically out of it.Nothing like encouraging teams that aren't competitive to be even less competitive, eh?
