Grogansghost Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) 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 Below are the rosters post trade. Traded players in bold. Team 1: QB T. Brady QB J. Plummer QB T. Green WR L. Fitzgerald WR D. Driver RB L. Johnson RB D. McCallister RB L. Maroney RB M. Bennet TE B. Watson TE D. Clark TE R. McMichael W/T D. Jackson K J. Kasay K. N. Kaeding DEF St. Louis Team 2: QB C. Pennington WR K. Johnson WR Sa. Moss WR M. Jenkins WR R. Smith WR T. Taylor RB S. Jackson RB C. Dillon RB R. Droughns RB J. Wright RB M. Anderson TE M. Colston TE J. Stevens W/T B. Edwards K M. Stover DEF Carolina Edited October 1, 2006 by Grogansghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) I guess i'm not reading it corrrectly or something, but the trade on it's own merits seems very fair imo. ...........and that's saying something in itself from Mr. Veto Edited October 1, 2006 by theeohiostate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMB Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) 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?

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.

Ralph Furley Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Another person over a fair trade. I'm not one to call people out on these boards, but this is about the 1,000th post about someone complaining about a trade that isn't bad. Some of you need to realize that just because you're not part of a trade doesn't mean it's a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
