A recent trade went down in my H2H 15cat keeper league. I'd like to hear what people think about the general fairness of the trade.
TEAM A - gets Shawn Marion (unkeepable) + Jason Kidd (unkeepable)
for
TEAM B - gets Amare Stoudemire (keepable) + Boris Diaw (keepable)
Team A is one of the top teams in our league, so they're giving up keepability to help with their playoff run.
Team B is out of the playoff hunt, so this trade is looking toward their future. Amare is keepable by forfeiting a #1 pick next season and Diaw is keepable by forfeiting only a round 12 pick. The rules of our league draft give priority to teams that don't make the playoffs. So, Team B is guaranteed to have one of the top 4 picks next year (so Amare will cost him a #1-4 pick to keep).

| Makes sense. It's quite fair to me.

Isn't that how trades are supposed to work in keeper leagues? Teams playing for thins year trade players who help them in the future for those who can help them win now and visa versa?

| The real kicker of this deal is that Amare costs a #1 pick to keep for a guy who's guaranteed of having the #1-4 pick next year. That means, unless you think Amare is worthy of the 1-4 pick in a draft, this deal is 2 top 20 players (Marion + Kidd) for Boris Diaw.
