NEPats Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So this trade went down yesterday before the games started. First place team gets: A. Brown Last place team gets: J. Starks L. Fitz It has caused a bit of an uproar - I'm in second and immediately hated it since only the #1 team gets a BYE (7 of 12 make playoffs - also a rule I hate). Last place team pays $50 and has to affix an embarrassing license plate border to their car - so there is incentive to not finish last. So is this viewed as totally fine by anyone else? Or just bad form (first place team gets much stronger) and last place team gets a bit better since they desparate needed a RB. Just throwing it out there for discussion.

theirish Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Looks like an even trade....not sure the issue here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Fitz is a WR1 - not quite the level of Brown, but he's a stud - and the Brown owner got a pretty solid RB2 in there as well. Pretty fair trade if you ask me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn5033 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Very fair trade, nothing to question here. Sounds like nothing but sour grapes to me. The guy in 1st place took depth and turned it into something good for his team. The guy in last took his best player and turned it into more scoring opportunity for his team.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What's the exact problem with this you not being happy about it? Cause it looks fine to me all these bitching and moaning threads about trades makes me happy I'm in the leagues I'm in. My leagues would eat them alive and spit them out of the league with all the complaining. Jesus people nut up or don't play the game. Have a nice day! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverines Fan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) In one point ppr, Brown is the WR1 and Fitz is the WR5 right now. Starks is a starter, but not a great one. IMHO this one is close value wise. I wouldn't beyatch about it. Edited November 16, 2015 by Wolverines Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdoane83 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Be happy that the league your in does trades, nobody will trade in the league I'm in or just ask for way to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MothAudio Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) When the season is over, whoever wins, modify league manifesto as follows "1st place team is ineligible to trade with last place team." Problem fixed. Edited November 16, 2015 by MothAudio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Named Suh Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I love how anyone in these forums with over a thousand posts immediately becomes the judge of who should and shouldn't be allowed to post here. There is this magical tool that forum elders all must use to click on every link and then one cult representative must respond to that thread regardless it they have any intention of being helpful or not. If you don't like the thread, why click on it? It you aren't going to be helpful, why respond? It's called narcissism, and it looks good on nobody. Edit: I know that in this case, most of you left legitimate responses to a seemingly unnecessary thread. This is mainly for phlem up there with the fake avatar, but he's ignoring me anyway, so this is most likely narcissism as well, but it gets old watching self appointed thread judges never contribute anything. I'll get off my soapbox now. Edited November 16, 2015 by Boy Named Suh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byroz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 lol this is great, every day someone posts one of these threads. i dont see the issue with this at all, fitz isnt quite the caliber of brown but starks is the rb1 for GB now. idk i dont see the issue here but who knows.

Right back at you. What do you care? Why continuously post about someone else's gripes? Why be such a all the time? If you don't like it, don't respond. And if you do respond, don't get so bent out of shape and shocked, since you obviously have the pulse of this forums down to a science. You sir, whether you see it or not, are creating and contributing to the problem your are so adamant about complaining about. As for the trade, no issue with that whatsoever. Seems legit to me. If you don't like it, change the rules for next season. Edited November 16, 2015 by heehawks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The last I looked, Brown is averaging 2 points more a week than Fitz, and that guy also gets Starks who was just named a starter in GB with a pretty easy schedule remaining until the EOY. It must be because you expect Brown to score 30+ points a week going forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Named Suh Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 majority of the time these guys don't even reply after they're told to take their tampons out Would you? It's one thing to tell someone that they are all worked up over nothing. That is the chance you take when you post. It is another thing entirely to be told that you are so stupid that you shouldn't even be allowed in the same forum as all these Fantasy Jesus'.
