Collins Cochs 0 Posted June 22, 2009 In a 12 team dynasty PPR Start QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,TE,DEF,K,FLEX  I have  Brees,Collins, Pennington Westbrook,Gore,Pierre Thomas, Lindell White, Leon Washington, Jerome Harrison, Donald Brown, Derrick Ward Roddy White,Colston, Berrian, Mason, Nate Washington, Devery Henderson Dallas Clark, Kevin Boss  The other team I am thinking of trading with does not have any RB's that start for their team, but is stacked at wide out and is looking to trade Calvin Johnson.  Should I trade maybe Westbrook for Johnson?  Westbrook is getting up there may only have a year or 2 left and Johnson has bright future.

Giving your depth at RB and the lineup setup. Should be a no brainer. Especially in a dynasty league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think there is any question, if he is willing to take westbrook for Megatron, you should take the deal & Run.  Honestly, I think he will want more than just Westy, and even if he doesnt, the concern is that the league may Veto this deal. To avoid this scenario I'd send him Westy, and maybe a young guy like Pierre Thomas, Lendale White, or possibly Derrick Ward and some kind of draft pick to at least give the illusion of fairness.  At this point in time, I guess it would be a call you would have to make to determine if your league is likely to go through with a veto of such a trade. Maybe Veto's are uncommon in your league and maybe they are not..... but if your league tends to veto more than one or two deals per year, the above trade as you proposed it would likely be one of them this year.  also, in my experience, its probably not worth your while to try to press the envelope. In my experience, once a team has a deal veto'd teams will scrutinize your deals in more detail going forward, so you will lose some good will (so to speak) if you do elect to push the envelope on this.  Just my two cents worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully Bears 0 Posted June 22, 2009 I would def trade Westbrook for Johnson, Westbrook is about finished IMO. Getting on up there and lots of dings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,734 Posted June 23, 2009 make the trade. if you have to throw in a lesser player do that also. a Nate Washington type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collins Cochs 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Ended up doing Westbrook and Lendale for Calvin Johnson and R2P9 in the rookie draft I took Roboskie. I just feel a little weak at RB now but Pierre Thomas Donald Brown and Derrick Ward could be studs I guess. Who do you think my starters should be? Â Â What do you guys think about the final trade?

WoodDuck2003 0 Posted June 25, 2009 I like the deal. Westy is about done and L.White is not that great. Look at your starting line up now: Â QB: D.Brees (top 3) RB: F.Gore/P.Thomas (not a bad combo as I think P.Thomas will prove to be a very good #2 ff RB) Flex: D.Ward or D.Brown or L.Washington (Very solid flex players to choose from IMO) WR: Ca.Johnson/R.White/M.Colston (Prob the best WR group in you league by far) TE: D.Clark (top 5 TE) Â This is a very strong and balanced roster. Nice work. If you are really worried about your RB depth package D.Ward/K.Boss for an upgrade. I really think you are ok though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who do you think my starters should be? What do you guys think about the final trade?  Thx well, the trade is pretty close to what I recommended earlier, so I cant really say I dont like it.  Your depth takes a hit, but your starting lineup is considerably better.  Gore, Thomas and Brown, and Ward are plenty decent RB's  Gore will be your #1 and Thomas is likely your #2 unless Brown gets the starting gig this year. Ward is splitting carries to start the season in TB, but may become the clear cut starter early in the season.  I think you are fine. You may want to draft another RB in the first round next year if Brown doesnt have the season you are hoping for, but I think the odds of this happening are fairly slim. If Brown does perform, I'd use next years 2nd round pick to grab another one to restock the shelves and grab a QB so that you have one in the pipeline in case something happens to Brees.
