The Trade Game: Same Old Story, Different Day
Every year, every season, every league it’s always the same. Everybody wants everything while giving up nothing. They want the young player, the speedy player, the upside guy, the “piece for the future.” But when it’s time to put something on the table? Crumbs.
Trading in this league is never really about balance. It’s about who can cook up the most fake, enticing deal and slide it across the table before the other person realizes they’re the dummy. It’s not just about convincing the guy, you gotta get the deal approved and then get it locked in before the chat lights up with so much hate that the dude backs out.
At the end of the day, it’s less about strategy and more about survival. Who can finesse the timing, dodge the hate storm, and walk away with something that looks fair on paper but feels lopsided in practice? That’s the trade game.
