Trade Strategy Discussion

- When is it time to make the big trade? Whether you’re going “all in” to chase a championship or “dumping” to set up a rebuild how do you decide when to pull the trigger on a potential deal?

- Is it ever “too early” to think about rebuilding in a keeper or dynasty league?

- What should you be looking for specifically if you’re buying or selling in a trade?

- Should you hold out for the "perfect deal" or be willing to settle for the best available package?
