About Trade Winner

An NBA fantasy trade analyzer that knows your league

Most trade calculators add up a value per player and compare two totals. Trade Winner values a player by how far he sits above the replacement level in a league of your size and roster depth, because that is what a trade actually changes: the roster you end up with, against the roster you had. A star for two good players can be a win or a loss depending on how deep the league is, and the calculator knows which, because it knows how many teams and roster spots your league has.

The values come from the same 2026-27 rankings and projections as the rest of the site, reranked under your league's scoring. When a trade goes through, the Weekly Slate reads the new roster the same week.

How does the trade analyzer decide who wins a trade?

Each player is valued by how far he sits above the replacement level in a league of your size and roster depth, so the calculator asks the only question that matters in a fantasy trade: does the roster that comes out of the deal score more than the roster that went in? In a points league that is one number per side and a verdict in words. In a categories league the deal is settled nine times, once per category, and the verdict says which categories you win and which you give up.

Does it use my league's own scoring settings?

Yes. Sync your league from ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax and the calculator adopts its scoring at boot, so a league paying two points per assist is priced at two rather than at a default, and the point values are open to edit on the page. Yahoo is coming soon. With nothing synced it prices the deal under our own scoring in a twelve-team league and says so above the tool.

Can it price a two-for-one or an uneven trade?

Yes. The side that receives fewer players has the empty roster spot topped up with a replacement-level player, so a two-for-one is judged as the two rosters it actually produces rather than by adding up the names on each side.

Is Trade Winner free?

Pricing a points trade is free for every member with an account, and an account is free. Pro adds the categories side, which runs on the full 2026-27 projections, and the trade terminal, a live feed of executed trades from real leagues with every name shown.

Which fantasy platforms does it work with?

ESPN, Sleeper and Fantrax leagues can be synced today and Yahoo is coming soon. No league is required: with nothing synced the calculator still prices any two sides of a deal under our default scoring.
