Why can't buzzerbeater make something that labels all players with a trade value and you can only trade with players of a similar value. Similar value players would have age, salary, potential, and whatever else BB wants (i don't care) taken into account and turned into a value number.

Example: Team A wants to trade a 21yo player with Hall of Fame potential and $8000 salary.
Team B wants to trade a 33yo player with Allstar potential and $25000 salary.
This is just an example, but say these players have similar trade value. They can be traded if each manager agrees to the trade.

Thoughts?

I really don't see why this game would be so much better if there was trading. You could just sell a young player and then buy an old player, and it has the same effect.

Yes, if 40,000 managers agree to such a lopsided trade, it can go through.

This isn't a casual Yahoo! fantasy basketball league, sorry.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I'm not sure you know this yet, but potential on old players, including guys in their late twenties, is utterly useless.

Yes, but what I meant is that some people will see a player with superstar potential and will think that they can build their team around him because one day he'll be a superstar regardless of his age.

This is a great idea because it doesn't have to be between all but between the leagues.

I have hedged on autobidding for a while. I think that autobidding would be a good idea but the biggest downfalls would be that it will be nearly impossible to find steals, and you will see prices inflating again in terms of buying players. I think these negatives outweigh the positives though.

Now the idea of trading is a bad idea. Too many options for cheating regardless how it is done.
