T-Scorp Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 10 team league NPPR standard scoring. $20 entry fee. 1st year "work" league. Aaron Rodgers and Roddy White for Andrew Luck and Julius Thomas. Commish stated that it was unfair as Rodgers and White were 1st and 3rd round picks while Luck was 10th and Thomas was FA. No collusion suspected just felt owner was being taken advantage of and if allowed league would not be fun. Aslo stated "If you ask anyone who knows anything about fantasy football they will all agree that this trade is no where close to being fair" I told him I would post here as there are many who have FF knowledge. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Id ask for my $20 back and join a league with a competent commissioner next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Commish needs to let the managers manage. I'd never give up Rodgers and Roddy for that...but I'd wouldn't prevent someone from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ill bet if he were the Spiller owner and offered someone elses 5th or 6th round player whos producing (cruz, djax, bernard, etc) he wouldn't veto it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider it dropping dead weight and Rodgers for Luck and Julius...depending on my lineup I would consider it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondString Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It is not the commissioner's place to impose his opinions of players' values in determining whether or not to use his veto powers. If there is evidence of collusion...by all means. Short of that, let the owners manage their own teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Your commissioner is 100% incorrect (wrong about vetoing the trade, wrong about the relative value of the players, and wrong about his delusional obligation to be the enforcer of fun). Tell him that's the opinion of someone who has been playing in multiple leagues each year since about 1991, and has been a Commissioner for a long time as well. He is the type of Commishioner who ruins leagues. Sucks that you are running into this with co-workers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Who had week 5 for the first "trade veto" thread. Agree with the others, trade should not be vetoed, not the commish jobs. Have been commish for almost 20 years and while all trades require our approval (in part to track things like draft picks that were included) we've NEVER stopped a trade, or even considered it.

T-Scorp Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 He is convinced that 90 out of 100 owners would prefer Rodger/ R White over Luck/J Thomas going forward for the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 He is convinced that 90 out of 100 owners would prefer Rodger/ R White over Luck/J Thomas going forward for the rest of the year. Depends on who team A has at TE. If he has no one and the WW is picked clean, then he's getting a good TE1 and a decent QB replacement. White is toast.

We're convinced 99 out of 100 FFers would think he's a moran. Taz was too drunk to vote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh2 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I have figured out where the commissoner is coming from..... 1. He feels that the trade with Rodgers and a healthy White greatly exceeds the value of Luck and J. Thomas. 2. Without the rosters, what is the competitive balance... that is... does this create a Uber team? The post does not provide enough information to make a fair and ACCURATE read of the trade. Therefore, please post rosters if possible. Edited October 3, 2013 by ajh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 He is convinced that 90 out of 100 owners would prefer Rodger/ R White over Luck/J Thomas going forward for the rest of the year. He might be right...but that doesnt matter one iota. If it isnt collusion, let it stand. Also, he is not right. I could make an argument that either side of that teade is the winner.

slambo Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The post does not provide enough information to make a fair and ACCURATE read of the trade Actually, it does.

kwolf68 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The trade is lop sided I think, but as a commish of a league I'd never veto this. I can see logic for moving on this deal. However, if I was shopping both Rogers and White seems to be he could get a bigger haul. This owner sounds like a bottom feeder, which we need those.

calistyle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not only would I leave the league, I'd look for a new job. Who wants to work with an mister like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
