Dynasty SF - AJ brown or Tee and 1st 2027

Not sure what this guys roster is yet - but in rebuilds I’ve seen some smart fantasy minds moving 25 firsts for later years because RB just doesn’t make sense for them

No but 27 first >>>>> 2.11

Of course it is

You think I get that deal done with the 2.11 instead of the future first? No chance

I’m not saying your trade partner didn’t view those as firsts. They did, but they ignored the fact that they’re not worth firsts right now. You got a great deal, that’s the point I’m making.

There are ways to actually compute the total values, but it’s far too time consuming to do for every deal. This is due to one piece that you’re alluding to as well as fluctuating prices of all assets. That one piece is graduated value as you go up in the draft, which is specific to each draft and impossible to calculate accurately in advance.

I get your point but disagree with it - the first has its value your interest just doesn’t vest until the year of the pick unless you trade it - it still holds value to a dynasty roster

And so if I can make a move that honestly doesn’t hurt my team much short term and definitely helps my team long term it’s a no brainer to me

The issue is we just disagree on AJB vs Tee

You think there is a massive gap

I don’t

You certainly wouldn’t trade AJB straight up for Tee, even if you believe Tee to be superior

Correct

That would be leaving a ton of value on the table.

And I wouldn’t add a 2nd to Tee to buy AJB

But would you sell AJB for Tee and a late 2nd?

No because I would sell him to you for much more based on name lol

Which is the point I think you are tying to make

I just think you are devaluing the 27 first way too much

So, based on that, and assuming you’re just an average player (I’d actually assume your picks are probably late, but maybe this is a rebuilder). You got Nico and Stafford for the equivalent of ARich, a late first, and a mid 2nd

That’s not what it looks like on paper, but that’s how it shakes out assuming all assets remain in a bubble for the duration. The reason this isn’t immediately obvious to everyone playing is because those assets are not in a bubble and continue to fluctuate, so the typical player chalks any wins or losses up to their predictive abilities or dumb luck

I’m not suggesting this is the be all end all, it’s merely a tool in the toolbox among many other tools that work in conjunction with each other. Throw in flexibility of direction (like say…the ability to pivot to a rebuild in future years, and that has value for your firsts as well…value I didn’t account for in my calculations). It gets confusing for sure, and becomes a rabbit hole that has diminishing returns, but the concept has merit.

Weird, I saw a reply from you, but never saw the post. This app is driving me batty this year.
