Youve won twice cause you drafted well, picked up FAs, and had some luck.

Thats generally the formula for winning this thing. You need all 3 in varying degrees.

Liek Celery Id trade with anyone if I think it makes me better. I think Im smart enough that if I trade with TJT or whoever is in first - my trade is going to help me compete or surpass him.

I look at everyones Roster almost everyday and try to find a trade that makes sense. I dont even look at who it is.

Magilla cant compete but thats Magilla's fault.
It shouldnt be a blanket to why you shouldnt trade with the top team.
