I just want to get the pulse of you guys here on what I should do. Yesterday in my Strat-o-Matic league (just think Fantasy it's the same context). One of the owners came out saying he wanted to trade his 1st pick 5th overall in the upcoming 2012 draft. I offered to trade him my 1st in 2014 and something else but he wasn't interested in that.
I told him I'm interested in moving up from my current spots in 2012 at 1.7 and 2.1. Maybe we can work something out?
He said he would be interested in a 2nd and a 3rd.
So I responded with saying, "Do they have to be from this year? I have mine and your 2nds and 3rds for 2013, and I'd be willing to move one of each of them (a 2nd and a 3rd)."
He accepted with a response of "Your second and my third and good with it"
So I finalized the trade as, "Ok, SC 2013 2nd and DV 2013 3rd for the 2012 1.5 you have. Sounds great to me."
And he posted it to the league.
Now 30 hours later he emails me asking for clarification on the trade that he accepted and posted to the league. I write him back exactly what I proposed and he accepted, "Pick 5 for this draft for my 2nd in 2013 and your 3rd in 2013 that I have. Both picks are next years."
And he emails me, Not what I thought I totally screwed up I thought all picks were this years. I even uploaded the trade that way (with the correct 2013 years). lol I would never trade a top 5 pick for this year for 2 picks next year. Not your fault at all just I was mistaken as to the years. what do u want to do? If u don't want to shift the picks to this year we can void it i guess. Its not your fault so it is up to you.

I'm not really sure what I should do here, I was being very upfront on the picks I was willing to trade, he even confirmed everything with me and I stressed the years of the picks but here he is coming back saying he made as mistake. Part of me wants to be the nice guy and offer to cancel the trade, but the other part of me thinks he is trying to just back out an already accepted trade. It's frustrating because I did everything I could to confirm the trade...
