I'm starting a dynasty (first month complete) and would like to trade first-round draft picks with a team that is in the bottom 7 in the league so I can get a better draft pick at the end of the season (my team is doing well so far).
However, every time I try to swap draft picks, the CPU says it's not interested in trading draft picks at this time. I've also tried throwing in Chris Duhon to a team that has a roster spot available (so my first-round pick + Duhon for some other team's first-rounder)...still not interested. And I've also tried trading Chris Duhon (rating 55) and my first-round pick for Pape Sow (rating 47) and their first-round pick...but no go.
So my questions:
1) Has anyone done a trade involving draft picks?
2) What's unreasonable about my trade offers?
3) What does the "Interest" bar mean? Is that the general interest from other NBA teams in that player? So the higher the green bar, the less likely I'm going to get the player b/c I have to compete with other teams for him? Or is it the opposite....does "interest" mean how interested the player's team is in trading away that player?...meaning the higher the green bar, the more willing that team is to give up that player?
Thanks
