It is a lot of fun reading back through trades that I made as a GM not realizing their importance beyond just the single season/draft that they were made in. I do have a few questions, most of which I'm guessing at answers based on your nice tree graphic. Am hoping you could confirm some of these. If any of the following questions were answered already please let me know and accept my apologies for missing the said details.
1. What is the total number of trades in this tree? I count 139, which would be 29.6% of trades in league history.
2. Which "Living Fruit" as you put it is on the longest branch of this tree? Would that be #395 - Gimmy Jaroppolo Jr.?
3. How many trades comprise that longest branch? If i’m reading the graphic correctly there’s a few different routes to get from #5 to #395. The shortest route being 13 trades and the longest being 15?
4. Did you tally up how many times each team was involved in this tree? I recognize I could do that myself, but figured I'd ask before I start. I’m initially gonna guess #1 is ARI, #2 COL, and #3 BAL.
5. Did you trace the second largest tree? If so, how many trades are in that tree?
I only know the answers to some of these off the top of my head - there are indeed 139 trades here. I would have to figure out 2-4 given time.
I do know that the second largest tree by far is based off of trade #11, which involved WR Stormblessed. I hypothesized when I started the project that either #5 or #11 would have the largest tree, and I was correct since almost every other large tree fed into one of those two, and even they had quite a bit of overlap. I didn’t count out #11’s trade count, but I remember when eliminating duplicate branches in the process of comparing the two that #5 ended up around 30-40ish trades larger.
