Eliminating trading isn&#039;t the answer either. The one thing trading can do is give more balance to your team if you strike the right deal. That being said, you are correct about most trades being ridiculously lopsided. <br /><br />I&#039;m going to go out on a limb here and take a page out of Nostar&#039;s book: the more balanced the league is with equally skilled captains (or at least close to it), you could make the case that trading wouldn&#039;t take place as often. But I stress the emphasis of trading draft positions more than anything. In fact, draft trading has become a reoccurring theme over the past two drafts. And truthfully, I think both instances (Goat/Rus trade, Lb/Mass trade) worked out well for both teams. So while I agree with you in mid-season trades usually being unfair, completely abolishing trading could potentially harm parity, too.<br /><br />As for the rules being more complex, I honestly feel like some of the rules aren&#039;t as well defined as they could be. There are a lot of loopholes. Some get taken advantage of, some are stopped right in their tracks. Being more definitive in some of these rules certainly can&#039;t hurt. It also stands to reason that with the addition of context, more windows could be open. <br /><br />For example, I proposed the idea of simply swapping draft spots. Currently, there&#039;s nothing that says you can or cannot do that. So as a result, captain&#039;s pick for each other and swap the picks. In theory this sounds fine but there is the risk of the deal going sour (for example, LB/Mass trade could have potentially not happened if I drafted either Noob/Collision originally) and both captains end up with players who don&#039;t necessarily fit their teams. Not to say that Nostar and Mike aren&#039;t capable players because they&#039;re far above that. But a team of Mass/Nostar and LB/Mike doesn&#039;t make a ton of sense. Particularly LB/mike as both are seen as great runners. LB is capable of playing defense/mid but probably not leading a team to a championship with his ability in that field alone. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp;
