So you offer a trade and expect a more balanced counter, but when another owner does it to you he's stupid?


yep

He counters with Ryan Mathews and Tedd Ginn for Roddy White and Jordan Cameron. I rejected promptly.


After receiving his counter, instead of rejecting, re-counter. You already stated that you offer a trade skewed in your favor expecting a counter, and then your trade partner does the same.

Sometimes trades require multiple counters back and forth. That's how a negotiation works.

Zac Stacey and Tedd Ginn for Jamaal Charles.


This had to be him just screwing with you, but it's an extreme version of what you did to him.

I totally get what you're saying but I decided to shut it down when he countered with two guys that I haven't even targeted. If it had been knowshon and ginn I would have accepted that as progress towards the trade then countered back but instead it went another direction.

Moreno and Ginn for White and Cameron would have been a win for you.

Moreno is a top 5 back. Ginn is a serviceable WR4/5 bye week filler. White is an aging, hurt WR on a team that is imploding. Cameron is a great young TE who has a horrible QB situation.

If he countered with that, it wouldn't be progress, it'd have been a win.

Maybe you should use this site more often

According to that site, my original trade comes out better for him, not that I think it would in real life.

Cameron has produced with every qb and is the second ranked te in my league. I feel he is being seriously over looked being he has out scored Garcon albeit Garcon has already had his bye (JC - 141 PG - 107) and is only 8 points behind Knowshon(KM 149). PPR and no decimals which I hate. Smith has scored 82 and Jackson is the kicker with only 26 points due to injury.

My other RBS are Charles, Vereen and Spiller. I would offer spiller as the rb but his situation is similar to Jackson.
