Exactly. Most of the people in this thread are looking at this only from their standpoint. But in real life teams no doubt turn down fair trades all the time because they just don't want the player being offered or don't want to give up their guy or whatever. Maybe they don't want to mess up their chemistry or create change simply for the sake of change.
For those that play fantasy sports, how many times have you turned down an offer that was fair, or even one in your favor because you wanted to keep your player? I've done it often. If we do it in fantasy, how much more are real teams dealing with real people likely to do it?
It's a strength of the game especially compared to console games where you can trade for any player at any time if the offer is good enough. If you don't like the trade offers, just roll up your sleeves and get down to negotiating with the ai. Still no good? Wait a week or a month and try again.
You aren't going to get handed trades that are good for you on a silver platter. You have to work for them.
