• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you already know why we're here. We're here for one
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: reason only, and that's to get duds. Let's get it, man. Look, today,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I only got three names. I only got three people
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about today for the 9K guys. Look, it
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: ain't the skimp, y'all. It's really the show. I'm excited
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: about this one because we're talking about trades, and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: don't know about y'all.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I've been playing fantasy for a long time.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And people send crackhead offers all the time when it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: comes to trading.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But today, I'm giving you three names.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: If you want to punt on a certain category, you
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: can go grab these people, similar people to help you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: if you need help in categories. Look, one thing I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: noticed about this fantasy community, especially this year, especially this year,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: everybody want to win their trade.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You're not going to win every single trade.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Now, if you've been tapped in with me, you should
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: already know, do not overspend on nothing. So look, just
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: because I say don't overspend, don't mean I'm telling you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to take an L. Just because I'm saying everybody want
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to win their trade, don't mean I'm telling you to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: take an L. But You got to be fair. Only
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: way to get what you get is to give somebody
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: what they need. You know what I mean? Like, you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: not going to just beat and rape people on these
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: trades just because it's your squad and you feel like
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you should just get it because that's a player you want.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The people you competing against, they.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Watch sports too. Whatever league you in, they watching it too.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: They up on game. So show the respect that they
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: up on game. Do business the right way. Don't try
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to snake your way through a deal. Don't try to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Get over on people, man.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Don't even get me. That's another conversation. Don't even get
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: me started on that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But look, they judge a trade entirely on names involved
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and entirely on the standpoint of trying to win the trade.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell y'all today, you are not
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: going to win every trade, but that don't mean you
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: should be losing or getting fleeced on a trade just
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: because you didn't win the trade. It should be what
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you need for your team and your team only. Look.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: There are different punch strategies, different categories to talk about.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Before I get y'all to play us, let's establish something.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I did it, but let's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: establish it in order.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Well, you're evaluating a trade.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, and before I get into this, make sure y'all
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: go to the Hustle Sports Fantasy Podcast channel. I got
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: on my Fantasy Basketball 101 playlist, I got a whole
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: episode breaking down trades. Look, number one, Overall value. What
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a player ranked in standard nine category formats. Production across
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: all nine categories. Availability. Expected games played. Me, I'm big
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: on percentage of games played, personally. And we'll see that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: on these graphics tonight. Two, punt adjusted value. What happens
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to that ranking when you remove your punted category? Which
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: categories become more important? How does a player... complement your roster.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Number three, market value. What is another manager actually willing
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to accept? Does your trade partner need the production you're offering?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Are you asking for something reasonable? I told y'all, stop
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: going to these people's inbox with these crackhead offers. Here's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the mistake I definitely don't want y'all to make. Just
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: because a player fits your roster or fit the strategy
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you're trying to build, that does not mean Overpay for them.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: As I tell y'all all the time, do not overspend.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Do not overspend. Do not overspend. Look, I'm glad we
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: got that out of the way. Just because your strategy
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is more valuable or a player is more valuable for you,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it don't mean everybody else value him the same. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: always keep that in the back of your mind. Look,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: evaluate the player, the bill, and the trade partner, number one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I know this is what y'all been waiting for. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: hyped it up. Like who are all these names? Look,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: here's the name right here. I'm going to be honest.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen. I spoke about him in an episode before.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan. He's the first player I want to discuss.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And here's why. If I'm building, if I'm punting, free
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: throw percentage, roster, Allen is somebody I'm looking for. Why?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Because look at this true shooting percentage, strong field goal efficiency,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: meaningful volume. He's 8.7 on the rebounds, so he can
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: help you get a rebounding category, Doug.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Shot blocking contribution, getting almost two.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He even getting close to one steal. I wouldn't say
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he's a stock specialist, but there are some nights that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he's going to give you some stock MVP numbers that's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: going to help you win those categories as well. He
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: don't need a lot of usage on the offensive end.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And I think with the addition of Harden, it make
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: his life a lot easier. You know what I'm saying?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Pick and roll, going finish, oops, putbacks. You know, a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: lot of easy stuff around the cup. So the field
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: goal percentage is going to be intact when it comes
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to Jared Allen.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Look, you see his free throw percentage, 68.8. Not crazy.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It's limited. You know what I'm saying? You ain't in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: love with it. But this is the thing, though. He's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going to help you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Look, I named three categories that he can potentially help
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you win in any given week. just by putting on
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: free throw percentage or free throw shooting. And then his
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: free throw shooting ain't the worst we ever seen. But look,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: hopefully you ain't giving up significant scoring when it comes
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to trying to get Jared Allen, because you still have
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to be construct. You have to construct a competitive roster because.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You already know why we're here. We're here for one reason,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the one reason only, and that's to get a dub.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: The Jared Allen potential offer, I'm not saying, This is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: what you should trade. I'm saying players like this, these
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: players or players similar is a great starting point. Norman
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Powell or Vijay Eshkone type. Look, again, I'm not saying
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that's a fair one for one trade. But what I
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: am saying is that's scoring. We can punt the scoring.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We can punt the free throw percentage. Hopefully you got
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: scoring a lot. I mean, it's a lot of scores
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in today's NBA. So scoring shouldn't, I mean, you're competing
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: against other scores, so sometimes points are going to go
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: your way.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That is a good starting conversation between two managers. If
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you're the one receiving Jared Allen, that's a good starting
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: point for you. Hopefully, the person who got Jared Allen
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: could use those type players.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And if they can't, try to find what they need.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Like I say, don't go in there being disrespectful with
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the crackhead office, man.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Don't give them what they need. Don't give them what
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they need. But try to work out a fair deal.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes fair deals, you're going to win something, you're going
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to lose something. But the thing, the most important thing
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: is you got what you need for your team. That
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: person needs scoring. You know what I'm saying? Free throw percentage,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: they need help with that. And you all, not all,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: but you want Jared Allen, they might not take too
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: long to get back to you on that. They might
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: not accept that one one for one straight up. They
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: might want to have a conversation around it. And that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: what you want. You want to start the conversation to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: get to a point to where y'all reach a deal.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Lord knows I shouldn't be drinking no coffee this late,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: but look.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: If you get Jared Allen, just know you get rebounded blocks.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes a stock guy still, yeah, you sacrifice points, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: three pointers, free throws, but you can live with that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: because of what you're getting back, especially in the, the,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the body.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Of Jared Allen. You know what I mean? Like, He
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: give you what you need.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Next up, man, I got Miles Turner. Now, I'm definitely
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: not crazy about this one. You know what I'm saying?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But what I will say, though, you punting on assists,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: here's a guy, if you need blocks and you stacked
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: at assists or in assists, here's your guy. Look at
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: those block numbers and look at those percentage of games played.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Jared Allen was another one, 100% of games played. Now,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: that's just for this season. Very short sample size, but
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it's still encouraging. And then look at Miles Turner. 80%
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: free throw shooter, 100% games played. He gets you 2.9 blocks. Like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that is insane, bro. This is where, you know, completely
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: different roster styles, you know. But that's cool because the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: shot block, three blocks, bro, is hard to get.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Hard to get.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Especially when all it's about is shooting threes and going
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to get layups. And nowadays, people don't even really contest that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: at the rim anymore. So to get three blocks in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: 2026 is insane. So yes, if you punting on assists
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and you need help in them block categories, here's your guy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Because hopefully if you got.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: The assist to spare to punt for a guy like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Miles Turner, you ain't going to miss what you gave up.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Look for the guy, look for the manager in your
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: league that need help and assist, that got a shot block.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And I ain't saying Miles Turner is just a name
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to get fixated on, but what I'm saying is pay
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: attention to these roster types on top of the names.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Pay attention to these style of players Because there's multiple
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: players out there that can get you what you need
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: when you're trying to get a dub in these category leagues.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And not only are you getting great block numbers, rebounds,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I ain't in love with that personally.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want a big to get five, but he
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: could help you in a rebounding category, assuming that your
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: rebounding category is straight. But what I do like, he
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: can get you threes and his field goal percentages is
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: going to be good.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And turnovers, low turnovers, two turnovers a game. Yeah, I mean,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: for a big to have that, it ain't crazy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You would like there to be less. But two is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: not crazy. What I would offer or potential offer or
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: a conversation starter.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Let's go with that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: A conversation starter for Miles Turner would be Fred VanVleet,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Davion Mitchell.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Look, Davion Mitchell averaged eight assists a game. Look, excuse me.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Look at me being rude.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: He averages eight assists a game. VanVleet averaged 6.8. So
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: if you got those type of players and you can
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: give up assists, look what you– like Davion and Van Vliet,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, they're great team players.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: They're great game managers for your squad, right? You know
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But the point that the– they're not scoring enough to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: where you're sacrificing so much in other categories to get
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Myles Turner. Because if you know, as I've always said,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: never overspend. Never overspend. Look, Van Vliet, Davion Mitchell are
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: great starting points when it comes to trying to get
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: somebody like Miles Turner because you're not sacrificing so much,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: so many other categories to get a guy like this.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And you think about what you're getting back. You're getting
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: back three-point percentage. You're getting back.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Blocks.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And you're getting back field goal percentage. So examine what
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: another manager needs. Swallow your pride. Don't go into a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: deal just saying, oh, I should take the L to
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: get what I need.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Hell no. Don't ever do that. Don't ever do that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: We here for dubs, bro. And losing on purpose will
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: never get you a dub.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: So look, you get Myles Turner, gaining blocks, center position, flexibility,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: potentially lower turnovers. You are sacrificing some guard play, assist,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: some scoring volume, but not anything significant to where it's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: going to kill your points reduction. Now, potentially three-point volume.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: But Myles Turner get threes up there. I'm going to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: be honest. He get them up there. So perimeter offensive production,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that could go either way with a deal like this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: So for me, this is a guy that you should
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: try to get, not him, similar players who can offer
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you them blocks for those who are struggling in them
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: block categories.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Last but not least, Josh Williams. Hart, hey, one of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: my favorite players in the league. You know what I mean?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, it's funny, you know, they drafted
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: him to L.A.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: To be, you know, to help get that rebuild underway.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But everywhere he's gone, one thing I've said about Josh Hart,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and I said it on a previous collab I done
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: with Believe, one thing about Josh Hart, bro, is he always, always,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: always get that offensive rebound that the.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Other team cannot afford for you to get.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Whatever reason, he just got a knack to be where
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the ball is, and that's reflected right here in his
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: rebound numbers. 7.3, he is an elite rebounder at the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: guard position. An elite rebounder at the guard position. Look,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: four assists, yeah, nine points, 8.6 points, you know, true shooting,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: not crazy, but look, percentage of games played, he's always available,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and he gets you two Stills a night, bro.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Like, that is hard to come by. Still, like I say,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he's strong for rebounding.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Assists are solid. Stills, he's a multi-category guy.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest. It would be hard for
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you to get Josh Hart off my squad. That's me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: But you got to come with that right deal, with
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the right player for what I need. And for Josh Hart,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I'm comfortable punting on points, especially someone who's– Who's a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: decent scorer, but not like upper echelon.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Never overpay. Never overspend.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Look, you're pointing on points. You don't need everybody on
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: your roster averaging 20. Brandon Pazemski is definitely a conversation
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: starter for me to get somebody like Josh Hart.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Brandon Pazemski is having a good year. 17-5-5.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: However, he only averaged one steal. You talk about two steals.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Even for my points leads, guys, two steals. opposed to one,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it's eight to four. Eight to four, you doubled up
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in points. So in a category league, bro, these are
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the type of, you know, negotiations I would explore with
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: somebody who needs some offensive production. They got, you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Josh Hart, who they can dangle that chip out there,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: give you an upper hand in another category, and you're
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: getting two categories when it comes with Josh Hart. Off
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the rip. Off the rip, you're getting two categories. if
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you're receiving Josh Hart in that trade. You know what
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I mean? And the assist numbers are solid. He's going
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to play meaningful minutes. He's going to play a lot
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: of minutes. So, yeah, Hart is always going to produce
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: substantially in multi-categories. You need help in steals, even rebounding.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: With Josh Hart, you're going to gain excellent rebounding from
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the wing, excellent rebounding. Even assist, secondary four, to say
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he's not the main guy, is that's great.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Cause I, he gotta be four for fifth option. You
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Steals elite level steals number. Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: What you sacrifice is scoring upside three point volume, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: he can knock it down too.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Some offensive creation, but in category leads, you don't really
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: care about that. Cause as you know, long as you
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: fire the foe at the end of the week, that's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: what you're here for to get a dub. So look,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Josh Hart is the perfect example of, of why you
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: should evaluate players more than just scoring.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Scoring is cool. It's pretty. It's what sell the tickets.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That's what everybody check in for. We got a lot
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of great scorers in the league nowadays. You know what
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So scoring ain't the issue, but Josh Hart is the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: perfect player to grab, especially if you got scoring that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you could sacrifice because Josh Hart is going to help
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you get dubs and rebounding, playmaking, and defensive stats. So
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: now that you got those three players from me, Here's
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a way to build a fair trade. Look, here's the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: most important part of the day. Not the players. How
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: do you actually construct a trade that somebody will consider?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Identify your target. That's number one. Number two, identify what
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: your trade partner needs. That's actually more important than number one,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, because if you come with them crackhead offers,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I promise you, I've seen it with my own two
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: eyes where in the group chat, somebody like, hey, I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: sent you a trade.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Dude, like, hey, I saw it. Left it at that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Didn't even decline him. That's how trash he felt the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: offer was.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So, look, don't assume somebody just want another guard just
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: because you feel like they should want another guard or
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you feel like because that's what you're willing to give up,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that's what they should take.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It don't work that way.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Number three, compare current production, non-category, per-game rankings, punt-adjusted rankings,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: minutes enrolled, injury and availability risk, and categories. Look, I
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: showed you the percentage of games played. All three of
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: those players I showed you, hey, they have played 100%
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: of their games in 2026, 2027. That is an important
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: stat when it comes to this fantasy game. Number four,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: build a reasonable offer. If the players ain't close in value, bro,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: don't pretend they are. Don't disrespect the managers, bro.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Show love. Show love to get love. That's how it work, bro.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That's how this work.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And not just fantasy. As I just work in real life,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: show love to get love. Show respect to get respect.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Number five, evaluate both rosters after the trade and ask yourself,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: if I make this trade, how many categories am I
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: realistically improving in and why would the other manager accept?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Point in point, never confuse a fair trade with a
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: guaranteed accepted trade. Some managers are attached to their players
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and that's okay because that's their problem. Just make sure
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: you not. Look, that's how you build. a great trade
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: or a fair, reasonable trade. Cause the real, the main
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: thing is you don't want your best offer to, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you don't want the first offer to be your best offer,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: but you at least wanted to open a conversation. So
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: one question I asked y'all before I get up out
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: of here, would you accept a lower rank player if
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: he perfectly fit your punt bill?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yes. Category fit is everything. Two. No. You keeping the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: higher rank player. Three.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Only if the overall trade value is reasonably close. Me,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I just needed to be close. I just need my
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: roster to be championship ready come April, come March and April.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I want to strengthen my build.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I ain't giving away value just because I got a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: certain strategy or you have a certain strategy and you
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: want me to just do what I do or you
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: want me to just take what you give.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It don't work like that.
