Trying to pick up LaDainian

I'm trying to make a trade for LaDainian and was wondering if this would be an okay trade for me.

LaDainian Tomlinson for Willie Parker, Reggie Wayne, and Alex Smith.

My roster is below, I feel like I have too many RBs and want to trade up for the best running back in the game. I think I have good enough depth for wide receivers that I can give up Reggie Wayne.

I desperately still need a QB, but I'm thinking of trading Rudi Johnson or Brandon Jacobs for a great QB - Brees, Palmer, or Bulger.

In the end I'll have LT with Rudi/ or Brandon Jacobs with Deuce, Ahman, and Kevin Jones as my back up.

What does RealGm think? :)

Well ummm....... Nobody is going to trade LT for that package. You would have to throw in both Parker and Rudi to get the guy to consider it. But to be totally honest I see no reason for you to make a lot of deals with the team you have right now, I've played the past 2 years without LT on my team and won my leagues both years. The only real weakness I see in your team is at QB, and unless your playing in a 12-14 team league, which i highly doubt since you have 2 top notch RBs, you can probably pick up a decent QB off of waivers/free agency.

thanks for the suggestion, i guess ill just keep my team and try to get a better RB. I'm thinking about trading one of my RBs for a top notch QB but question is who should I give up? Willie, Rudi, or Jacobs? All the top QBs went drafted 3rd round so I gotta pay a high price for them.

Who are the QBs that are out on the waiver/free agency market? I'm not sure who I'd part with at RB either. Rudi always has a rough few games as well as Parker, but they are both solid backs, especially for the playoff run. But I would say your ok and don't need to upgrade the RB position. I guess I would throw Jacobs in some sort of package and see if you could land a QB like Kitna, Cutler, Leinart, or Hasselbeck. I just don't like the idea of having Leftwich as a starter, but Smith should be ok if Gore doesn't score all the TDs.
