I have been in 3 long term fantasy leagues. I have been playing for about 15 years (not long compared to most, I know).
Every trade offer I get is just ridiculous and lop sided. People keep razzing me when we meet up that I never trade etc. Maybe it’s the people I play with but everyone is super competitive and we all pay buy ins so it’s taken seriously.
Anyone else just depend on their draft and waivers and it’s just ride or die?
Trading is tricky. Most people overvalue their non-elite players and aren’t willing to give up big pieces under any circumstances.
For example, guy in my 12 team league has AJ, Diggs, Ridley, Kirk, Gibbs, Swift, Achane. He wanted to make a move on JJ when he went down cos he wanted AJ, Diggs and JJ as his WR core. Which, who wouldn’t? But he offered the JJ owner Ridley+Khalil Herbert+Gibbs back before Gibbs breakout game without Monty.
Point being, people only wanna give up their trash for other peoples treasure.
