Brooklyn718 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's an 8 person league and we're all friends.. ESPN standard scoring Anywho... there's a kid who's currently 0-3(Team A) and he is looking to make moves.. there's another kid who he's really close friends with who he ended up trading players with(Team Team A(0-3) trades Demaryius Thomas and Philip Rivers for Team B(2-1) Marques Colston, Michael Crabtree, CJ Spiller I feel it's a pretty lopsided trade.. what do you guys think? I'm just worried since they're so close eventually Team A will cave and just start trying to hand off his players which are left to Team B (I'm the commish so I would stop any of that) but it's a headache.

Brother_Mouzone Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) It's a pretty crappy trade but not something you can necessarily call collusion, unless you can confirm they've had talks about further bad trades if Team A's season continues to go down the toilet.

Brooklyn718 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I also forgot to mention they announced and did the trade while they were hanging out.. no one else in the league agrees with it and it seems way too insane of a deal... but I don't want to seem like I'm over stepping my boundaries and start cancelling stuff.

Brother_Mouzone Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I guess you could put it to a league vote. It is a garbage trade no doubt. The vote option is the most democratic way to deal with this. Keep in mind that if you do this, you have to put every trade for the rest of the season to a vote if there's any questions about the legitimacy of the deal.

Trojanmojo Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'd personally let it stand. I don't see proof of collusion. It might be a bad trade but I'd let people run their teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn718 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 First of all, what are the rest of their rosters? This might not be as bad as it looks if Team A is loaded at WR and running Andrew Luck at QB. Secondly, I'd call up Player A and ask him his football reasons for making this trade. Don't email and don't text. CALL him or meet in person. If he really has football reasons for the trade he should be able to tell you right away. If it smacks of shady BS, then tell them so. Player B should know this smacks of collusion and be able to defend his football reasoning. Interfering can be a bad move for a commish, but so is allowing two friends to give one of them a super team. The teams are as followed BEFORE THIS TRADE Team A Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, Philip Rivers Justin Forsett, Stevan Ridley, Eddie Lacy, Doug Martin AJ Green, Demaryius Thomas, Mohamed Sanu, Keenan Allen, Kelvin Benjamin Vernon Davis, Antonio Gates Nick Novak Team B Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan Giovani Bernard, CJ Spiller, Leveon Bell Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Pierre Garcon, Michael Crabtree, Roddy White, Marques Colston, Deanre Hopkins Julius Thomas, Zach Ertz Nick Folk It's just.. I feel alot of people usually make sure when they're executing a trade they make sure not to stack the opposite team.. a Johnson, Marshall, Thomas WR core is just insane Team B even said they threw in Colston at the end of the trade just to even it out for Team A... Team A was content with moving Rivers and Thomas for Crabtree and Spiller I even offered Hilton and Desean Jackson in hopes of jacking up the price a bit to no avail. The current system we have is where any trade is allowed but this seems a bit over the top. I don't want to over step my boundaries and say NO THIS TRADE IS NOT GOING THROUGH.. but I think I'm going to throw it out there in the morning I might take a league wide vote on this trade because it seems way too lopsided. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwayMountaineer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Put it to a vote..majority to veto....it is definitely lopsided but don't cause waves in the league by being the commish dictator and swatting every trade you don't like..either a league vote or in our league we use the commish and the two division winners from the previous year to allow or veto trades...if they are involved in the trade we have two alternates so that keeps votes away from anybody who has interest in the trade and has worked out for us....
