Been in this league for about 10 years now, it's all old high school friends, I love the league but damn it gets annoying when nobody will make a trade. I mean if you offer any kind of reasonable trade it's always rejected, and the offers I receive always involve 2 bench players for one of my better starters.

Anybody else play in leagues like this? If they have to give you anything in return they will never do it

Most leagues are like this.

I am in the complete opposite of this right now. My league won't stop trading. I literally get 2 or 3 trade offers a week with people trying to salvage their teams. It gets a little annoying after a while.

I trade more than I should at times, but I'm always looking for ways to better my team.

I'm in a couple leagues with people I know and a couple with people I don't know and believe it or not I've found it 10 times easier to trade in the ones with strangers.

I don't get aggravated when people don't trade in general, but it pisses me off when people make no attempt when they could make their team better. It also pisses me off when you make an offer and they don't respond to it. At least give me the courtesy of hitting reject.

Or they won't even consider any offer.
Ok you don't want To trade Denaryious Thomas for Demarco Murray and Jordy Nelson. That's fine but don't just reject it in 5 minutes and when I ask you about it act like he's Calvin Johnson

My league is amazing. We all trade like we're a giant orgy.

I play in a league when there are very very few trades. Have to make all the moves through free agency/waivers. It is aggravating when somebody doesn't respond to a trade request. On the other hand, I don't really understand people wanting to trade non stop.

I'm the only one who even tries to trade in my league.

Though I'm back to back champion and traded for Vick the year he went nuts. Maybe they think I'm fantasy Nostradamus or something?

It's annoying....

I HATE it when people don't respond. So stupid. I also get the stupid counters. It's a freakin game, and our league isn't for money so it's so stupid to not even attempt to try. I have 2 offers out right now that include me giving up Gronk to people starting the likes of Dreeson and get no response. Dumb.

Wait are you in my league? Absolutely no trades cause we all work together and co-workers are so scared that I'm trying to screw them even though the trade would benefit both parties

I find leagues are always like this when all league members aren't around each other frequently.

Trades become personal battles based in discussions and debate. That's the whole fun of trading for me- convincing someone that what I'm giving them is what they need and what they're giving me is just ok but I'll take it anyway.

When it's just sending trades on the site, that shite always looks worse and there's no back and forth.

If I wanted the players on your team, I would have drafted them.

Our league wasn't very trade friendly until we auction drafted for the first time this year. Now we have all kinds of trades since people didn't end up with certain positions coming out of the draft.
