But I'm bringing it up because this is a recurring theme in keeper league trades between myself and vrabbit.
IMO, if you didn't want people to make trades with long-term goals in mind, then you shouldn't have made this a keeper league.
IMO trading draft picks during the season should be against the rules.
This would basically prevent firesales of teams., because w/ 4 keepers you're not able to stockpile a bunch of young players, you'd have to just try to stockpile picks.
I strongly disagree.
The ability to trade for future picks during the season is the biggest appeal of any keeper league to me. My trade with modninerfan last year is a perfect example. I gave up my first this year to try to win it all last year and came close. I knew I was sacrificing my draft for the 2013 season in doing so.
I think "firesales" for the sake of competing in the future are valid.
