Anyone do any trades after week one?

[JakeT.]

I traded Holt/Deuce for Addai before week one. What does everyone think of that one? I like it...

That's a solid deal Jake. Any time you can net a top 5 RB it's a good deal.

I got offered Holt/Hasselbeck for Bush and Reggie Brown. My backup RBs are Green and Brandon Jackson. My WRs would be Holt/Boldon/A. Johnson. My starting QB is Favre, so it would be a nice ugprade at QB as well. Any thoughts bro?

I hate it to be perfectly honest. Holt is due for a down year and Hasselbeck is only a borderline starting QB. Bush is worth more than both combined IMO and I like Brown to be at least equal to Holt this year if not better.

Good call. I might just be a downer on Bush. Not even because of not being effective last week but just the idea of not being the man. Thanks for the advice.

I had a deal where I got Addai for Parker/Cadillac before week 1. It was vetoed in my league even though I feel it was fair since he adds 2 starting rbs to lewis, maroney (his only backs). I still have deuce, betts, travis henry, brandon jackson.
One guys response to the veto was he doesn't allow trades that make both teams better. I responded by saying that you wouldn't allow a trade that makes only 1 team better so you must only allow trades that make both teams worse. lol.
Not happy - of course now with Cadillac possible hurt it can't happen.

Ridiculous that the trade was vetoed.

Wow, just got a monster offer Jake. What do you think?

I get:
LT
Evans

I give:
LJ
Bush
Boldin


I'm not feeling really up to doing this right now, but input is welcomed. Boldin is better than Evans IMO where it then comes down to LJ/Bush for LT and I don't really think that'd be smart. What you think?

I would personally do it because I've made it clear my feelings that LJ is a 2nd tier RB, as is Reggie. LT is the best. Evans for Boldin is only a minor downgrade.

That being said, lots of people value LJ and Bush very highly. Much higher than they should. You are getting a nice deal here but you may be able to get more. Try LJ and Brandon Jackson instead. Then you can use Bush in another trade to get someone less hyped but better fantasy-wise.

Now were talking LT for LJ/Boldin. My WRs would still be Andre Johnson/Reggie Brown/Santonio Holmes. My RBs would be LT and Bush. Is that a better deal for me maybe? He's also talking about getting Heap in the deal when I have Heath Miller as a backup. Should I be hesitant about putting Heap in if it will make or break the deal?

 

[JakeT.]

I'd do LT for LJ and Boldin in a second. Alot of folks might not, but I would take that.

Thanks for the input Jake, really appreciate it.
