Trading for new #1 on Upside Board
  • blkeagle
    Posts: 675
    Looking to acquire Smitty's new #1 on the Upside Board.  I am looking to trade his equivalent from the Super Bowl Champs straight up for #1 but am running into a little trouble.  Initially offered a straight swap and he countered with also wanting Rashad Jennings and Latavius Murray from me.  So I countered by adding in Marlon Brown.  

    What do you think of these offers.

    Hope this is secretive enough Smitty.

    How deep are you at RB?  Giving up 2 potential starters in Tashad and Latavius takes away a lot of depth.

    Id prob give that up for him. Thats a big jump at  that position IMO. Hopefully you have the depth at RB to give up a couple of prospects.

    Id prob do it. Who knows what the Raiders are going to do at RB at this point. Everyone knows that L Murray is my guy but hes no sure thing and thats a significant upgrade at that pos too. As long as he keeps playing like he did last year.

    I would do it if he adds in Marlon.  I may even do it if he doesn't, but I wouldn't be as eager to hit accept (maybe ask for something else as a throw in).

    The trade is going to be player swap plus I give up pick 2.10 in a rookie draft.

    Yeah I'd get it done blk. As much as I love he guy you're giving up from a football perspective, he's a less than ideal fantasy performer. I think going for upside 1 is a great move at that cost.

    I agree Fontaines, the guy I am giving up is one of my favorite NFL players and that makes this tough.  But I am playing to win and not make a team of my favorite players.

    Why don't you just post an offer to where everyone can see without mentioning the mysterious upside board? That way you can get help from everyone without sounding like you're in some kind of secret society. That type of behavior seems like more of a deterrent when it comes to selling more subscriptions. It's just not a good look, IMO. I'm not in the know, but it looks pretty obvious you are referring to ****. SURVEY SAYS!!!!!

    No one is trying to sell with this thread, most everyone reading is a subscriber. Keeping the name off this direct thread is being fair to the paying folks, not to try and upsell. In fact, many requested it this way because they didn't want names thrown out (in threads like this that directly make it obvious who the No. 1 is). 

    We continue to ask that no one post the names in this thread, even if trying to guess. Thanks.

    If I were not already a subscriber this type of post would make me sign up right away, plus the track record that Smitty has this is like free cookies when you play in cookie leagues.

    :-@ ........

    If I were trading for #1, Im the one that would need a lite extra if im selling said super bowl champ. If im overpaying to acquire #1 that kind of defeats the purpose imo anyways.

    This was in a DC IC3 league...to be fair, this owner had Brees as well...I've been in that scenario before where u want to get at least something for a player u might only play once...

    It was very hard for me to give up 1.3

    I have the 1.1, but was looking to use the 1.3 to boost my weak RB corps...

    With all do respect, I totally disagree. As a subscriber, I appreciate Smitty doing this. If I were not a customer, this would intrigue me to sign up...but that's me.

    I can see it both ways....i definitely don't agree with giving paid information for free on the forums however it's not necessarily necessary to reference the upside board on a trade thread either.  Would've been easier to just say "I'm trading guy A for guy B".  The goal of the forums is to invite and encourage subscriptions, and the way to do that is through more people joining the paid information.  I see Amish's point about a "secret society"....we don't think we are but sometimes it comes off as that.  But also, I don't think BLK had any ill intentions by doing this other than promoting the upside board, which honestly i am sure there's hundreds of people who view the forums regularly who have no idea what the upside board is so it's good promotion.  We hit a double edge sword....it's going to happen
