i'm okay with it. We have traded before in other leagues and sometimes im the one that gets the better deal. I needed a linebacker badly since I only had 4. and i was left with plenty of picks from the last owners deals.

Sometimes my trades also depend on financial situation as was the case here.

I have Houseman as a +66 and still only 4 years into the league and booming. I have a wealth of FSs, so that is why he was traded.
I think 3 x 4ths is ok .

under typical situations, this would be a bad trade. However, if you look at the MLB available via free agency - there is dookie.

Given that, this is a fair exchange, imho. It does bug me when a person could pick up a comparable FA without giving up anything but a contract (usually at minimum) - but that is not the case here.

In week three of preseason, Kuster; the man of the hour, has gotten himself a player of the week honors, only saying. Moonpygg is happy with the trade. Cheers.

Yep! Supports the idea that the price may have been high - but definitely not over-priced. Congrats on your successful acquisition.
