Here is a post on the same thing, but I see alot,of angles he is using to curb the ability to build super teams, but I assumed this trade was pitched to me to quite my opinion of this part of the game.

Draft Picks
2031 Round 1 Selection 1.....worth 3000!
I rejected this trade the because it seemed completely unfair and ruins parity. I knew I would get a great pick. But a 1.1 for a 5 .28. So unreal. The meter wouldn't even allow it now, but why before ?
If a team is a bottom dweller they should lose thier rights to trade away the future. Cause in no world is Leo Roberts ever worth a 1.1.
But routinely guys are making this a legit way to build a roster. It is like flipping houses in an inflated market...just too easy. We are not playing football we are playing who is the mark.
Eventually salaries might stop this but why not only allow one first rounder to every be traded?
As teams get worse each year or just sit at the bottom and give away great picks I will just continue to blame the weak demands of Rookies in the first place .
Please increase the salary of first round picks or drop the talent to match the actual price one might pay.
I was offered the number one pick for a slow player. My concern is not with the inexperienced player giving away the future , but protecting him and the teams right to such a valuable pick.
Also, if it were a dupe at least they couldn't trade away any more equity through that same account . If we're not dupes same .....the team lost their trade rights.
Perhaps trade sanctions could be tightened or loosened depending on how well they do after the trade. If they want to trade another possible high pick the team would have to win a few more games . If not they are sanctioned from trading away any more picks.
This trade was offered to me six months ago real time. After other not so smart trades. Why let this happen like a revolving door of high picks for predatory game traders looking for this exact trade.
I will not wait for users to smarten up on this one. A simple fix would be to increase the bust rate or make volatility fluctuate or hide it completely . .again.
The whole concept favors better gamers, but there no penalty until five years later at the resign. Just keep flipping those players and retain the low bonus offered out the gates.
With volatility shown less than 1/3 bust in round one and most still end up a C grade player like Leo Roberts. So safe, it's an actual strategy preyed upon by win at all cost owners.
I would much rather that user leave the league cause they have lost all the teams equity and have a new guy come in and do it all again. My bets are the new guy would not make the same mistake.....well at least it would increase my hope of that
