Curious to know if I'm in the minority. No one seems to like to trade in the leagues I'm in.

I, for one, love to trade. I think it's the best part of fantasy sports.

I would say the average in my leagues is 2-3 trades per league for the entire season

In my big money league, there might be 2-3 trades total for the whole year.

There have been zero so far.

I love trading, last year I completed 12 total and totally revamped my team (although injuries caused a lot of those) I've traded once this year and would like to trade more often

I made the 1st and only trade in my league Foster's breakout year. Hasn't been one since.

I only trade if I'm heading to the playoffs and woefully inadequate at one position. Other than that, never.

I traded Braylon Edwards for DBowe two seasons ago... He D Bowe went off the week after the trade and continued to do the same for weeks.

Another trade has not happened in that league since then

I don't think they're stubborn, just lazy.

Na. I got people who have been like 0-5 before and they refuse to trade because "they still like their team"

it's like pulling teeth in both my leagues

even when it'd greatly benefit their teams, people are too scared

No one ever trades enough in our league because every trade, reasonable or not, gets vetoed. It's ridiculous.

But we changed the rules for this season so that if someone wants to vote against a trade they have to give a viable reason other than "that helps (blank) and I have to play them, so I'm against it."

based on some of Veto questions today, I think it is fair to assume many veto solely because they feel it made one team A LOT better than their own team

We've got one guy who does enough trading for a whole league.

I'm in three leagues and have made three trades so far. I don't think anyone else in any of my leagues has made a trade yet. Only a few people in my leagues will seek out trades, but many people will accept them if they think it benefits their team.
