Regarding ADs current trade value strategy. Most think we need to win to increase his trade value. Winning right now is playing checkers, losing is chess.
What kind of threat/leverage would a team use at the TDL, if we are 11-30 sitting 4-5th from the bottom?
The worse our record is, the better is our future. That means less pressure to trade players for bad packages.
If we are heading toward a projected 14th pick our leverage is complete a**. Even if we turn that 14th pick into a superstar in the summer, in that specific moment aka the TDL we have less leverage the better our record is. So winning means less probability to get a good draft pick and less leverage in trading players in February.
