Would you play in this league...

The following trade happened in one of my leagues: It's a 12 team league of 16 roster spots/team.

 

Team 1:

Pennington

Droughns

Wright (browns RB)

Colston

 

for

 

Team 2:

T. Brady

D. McCallister

R. McMichael

N. Kaeding

 

Personally, I don't like this trade at all - I think Team 2 got screwed.

 

But I'm not so much concerned about 1 bad trade, but the fact that the owner of team 2 seems to be completely "on tilt" to use a poker analogy. He's 0-3 and now has only 5 of 16 original players remaining on his roster (D. davis was because of injury).

 

I don't think he's colluding or purposely tanking, but he's making poor enough decisions to affect the competitiveness of the league. To me, if someone turns over 2/3rds or their team in the first 3 weeks, it seems like they're just trying to throw crap at the wall and see what will stick. Unfortunately, this guy has been trading for crap.

 

The way our league is set up he has every right to play poorly if that's what he chooses and I'm against vetoing trades. I have to decide whether or not it's worth staying in this league.

 

What do you guys think about the trade? How do you handle when poor decisions are affecting the competitiveness of a league?

 

Our league awards 1 pt 10yards ru, 15 yards rec, 25 yards passing. All TD's = 6.

Required lineup: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, W/TE, TE, K, Def

I hear what you're saying about an owner being "on tilt" and desperate - and I do think in certain situations trades should be veto-able if they're dramatically lopsided AND upset the competitive balance of the league.

 

But this one really doesn't seem that bad. Everyone, including me, is huge on Colson right now - even more so in a league like yours where he's TE-eligible.

 

ETA - I think you might have messed up those "post-trade" rosters there. Shouldn't Brady/Pennington be switched?

I did mess up the post-team rosers - thanks. But since I had the first part right, I'm assuming that most people think it's a fair trade. I guess I just need to relax, thanks for the feedback everyone.

did team 2 pay his $$?

 

Is he trying to win?

 

Is this collusion?

 

If the answers are yes, yes, no, then stop sulking and play fantasy football.

 

 

:D
