The league's trades
Every trade actually made this season, scored by the same
model the trade board uses — twice. The first number is what the deal
was worth when it was made: it was written down that day and never moves
again. The second is what it is worth today, and it re-scores every week as
players actually play — so a deal can turn through nobody’s fault.

Offers actually made
2
trades proposed, 2 days
Logged when someone taps “I proposed this” on a
verdict — offers actually made, not everything people try out. At the end of
the season these get re-graded against what really happened, including the ones
that were turned down.
What the league explores
The trades people run through the analyzer — mostly ideas
that never get offered. ESPN only records trades that actually happened, so this
is the only view of what gets considered.

What decides a trade
Every verdict breaks into moves — an extra starter gained,
a straight swap, a player given up for nothing back. This is which one did the
most work, and how those trades turned out.

How often a trade came out a good deal when you were the one
taking on that position. The count on the right is how many trades that is
— a rate off three trades is not a trend.
