Am I getting enough in return for LT??? - WHIR

[Dalingh]

I have verbally proposed the following deal. The other owner is strongly considering it. I feel like I need to add some more depth to my squad and sure up my receiving corps. (small side note: I think his team is sick and giving him LT to pair with Forte could be nasty).

I Give: Tomlinson
I Get: Colston, McFadden, Rice

My Roster: 12 Team, H2H, .5 ppr, .5/completion

QB(1): Schaub, Palmer, Hasselbeck
RB(2): LT, P. Thomas, Benson, C. Wells
WR(3): Megatron, Roy Williams, C. Henry, Chambers, Branch
TE(1): Gates
K(1): Kaeding
DST(1): New York Jets

His Team:

QB: Cutler
RB: Forte, McFadden, Rice, J. Jones, S. Greene
WR: S. Smith, Colston, Berrian, Hester, Burleson, Camarillo
TE: Boss
K: Kasay
DST: New England

LT is the best player in the trade (as evidenced by the 3 for 1 offer) but I think overall you'd end up with a better team. Rice and McFadden both have huge potential and Colston is a solid WR.

Bottom line, I think your team scores more points per week if you do the trade.

The thing that I love with this trade is the potential versatility that it gives me. I'm dead set on trading one of those QBs at some point and if any of my other bench players make a big splash I could easily get a stud player in return for a combo of that sort. I'd also love to start Megatron, Colston, and Roy each week and be able to sprinkle in some C. Henry on Byes...

Keep L.T.... He is going to have a monster year... Rice is all hype.. Colston will get hurt like always.....

[Foolio]

I'd stick with what you have, your WR's are gonna treat you just fine.. Colston is not that much of an upgrade..

I would make this trade in a heartbeat!!!

Lt is still speculation and although he is one of the best RB's of all time there is a year he slows down (and I mean waaaaaaaaaaay down).....he has also gained the injury bug (turf toe) label and that will never go away. Although, I think that LT does well this year but just not as extreme as alot of others do!

Now.....so you give up LT (which someone mentioned is the best player in the trade), which I have no problems agreeing with however, to get Colston (a top WR) and 2 nice RB's (DMC/Rice) in return is too hard to turn down.

Rice has been named the starter already and we all know McGahees deal (he all but done) and Rice has looked extremely good in camp and is ready to roll, DMC is the starter in Oakland and has looked great in preseason and Colston is a top 10 WR on a pass (Way Heavy) team and should be great this year barring injury!

Take the deal and run......you just commited robbery!

thanks for your help.

i think its a solid trade for you. you will have an awesome WR core with a decent RB core that will still produce. i say you should do it.

UPDATE....

The deal has been sweetened. It is now:

I Give: Tomlinson, Branch, Chambers

I Get: Colston, Rice, McFadden, Hester

This is now a no-brainer, right? I will have TONS of depth and a lot of versatility if I need to make another move.

Sit still. LT is due for a monster year.

[JaysFan]

DO THE DEAL IT IS A NO BRAINER!!! I think LT is going for about 1200 YDS and 10 td this year, that's it. Good numbers but getting McFadden and Rice, both who could potentially outproduce LT AS WELL AS Colston who could be a top 10 WR on maybe the best offence in the league, AND getting Hester who could break out with Cutler and only having to give up crappy Branch and Chambers?!?!?! DO IT JUST PRESS ACCEPT DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE THIS IS AN AMAZING DEAL GO GET IT!!!
