The trade desk

Who won the trade?

Started points tell one story. Future picks get to keep their lawyer.

Winners are based on realized started points while received assets stayed with the receiving manager. Multi-team deals compare every side. Unresolved picks prevent a final verdict. Dynasty market-value changes are unavailable from the free public Sleeper API and are not invented. How trades are scored.
