brocknrollin Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) So I need everyone's help to prove a point. My brother is commissioner of a league, and at 1-8 was out of the playoffs. He made this trade with his wife, who is in the playoff hunt. .5 ppr league. The overall fantasy rank is listed in parentheses according to Yahoo. 1-8 team gives up: DeAngelo Williams (42), Allen Robinson (25), Matt Ryan (28) His wife gets those three guys and gives only: Roddy White (1803), Russel Wilson (61), and Michael Crabtree (50) He tries to tell me this is a fair trade, and I am whining because me and two others in the league are raising a big stink. Please, for the justice of fantasy football, weigh in on your opinion of whether or not this is a clear collusion between Husband and Wife, or it's a legitimate fair trade. It will help settle a long argument. But probably not, because he's the most stubborn person ever. Thank you.

Boy Named Suh Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Obvious collusion. He should not be commissioner of a powder puff league. Tell him to overturn the trade or go into hiding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brocknrollin Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 The funny thing is, he keeps telling me of all these people he said don't see anything wrong with this. I've told him it's ridiculous on any way you spin it: projected points going forward, overall production to this point, and to sit there and say I'm the ridiculous one for what couldn't be much more of a lop-sided trade is so frustrating.

Boy Named Suh Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Tell him to join up here, and he can explain his logic to us. You are in a junk position, and I guarantee you aren't making a big deal out of nothing. He is colluding with his wife and does not deserve to be comissioner.

brocknrollin Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm going to get a few more comments on here and tell him to join up and see if he can sell his side to anyone else. I just can't imagine a person who knows football that agrees with his side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colkurtz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Because people on an anonymous message board will change mind if he doesn't already see it as an issue. If he stands put tell him you're going to send a bit of bitcoin to some 4chan users to make his life hell for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocknrollin Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's less about getting him to change his mind on the trade, but just admit what he's doing, and admit that the trade is one sided. He keeps trying to sell me that it's a perfectly fair trade, and if I show him the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I'll get the moral victory.

Scorcher Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 You should not be allowed to trade once you are eliminated from the playoffs What about trading players for picks in order to improve your chances for next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All beside the point. The point is that this commissioner colluded with his wife. Don't blame OP that you are sick of these threads. This agression should not stand.

Avernus Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 not sure about that why? if you are in a redraft league and are unable to trade for future picks then what purpose does someone who has 1-2 wins by week 10 serve by being able to trade other than opening the door for crap like this?.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocknrollin Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 The eliminated from playoffs idea isn't bad, but this league isn't a redraft, and I'm guessing won't have the same people next year. The trade in his opinion gives him "a better shot to win high score of the week" for a small portion of the buy in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone should have a chance to put their best team they can on the field every week. Some leagues pay high score weekly. And they should be able to have a chance to play spoiler if nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they should be able to have a chance to play spoiler if nothing else I agree HowBout- now let me pose this question: does this trade allow that 1-8 team a better chance to win high score of the week? That's the main point of contention- I say it's a clear collusion and unfair trade, he says it gives him a better chance to win high score- amidst projections and current points saying much differently.

Nothing about the trade in question makes the commissioner's team better or puts him in a position to spoil anything. He is bolstering his wife's team, period. Edit: just saw your last post. Good of you to admit. Edited November 16, 2015 by Boy Named Suh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
