CowboysDiehard Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I'm commish of a long standing league with a no vetoes rule. Two owners, who are close friends, today traded Melvin Gordon (from the 0-3) team for Eric Decker (from a 3-0 team). Scoring is .33/rec and 7pts for a TD. Outside of the QB position, Gordon is easily the number one scorer on the 0-3 team's roster. The 0-3 team lost Dez (apparently) today. I saw the trade and processed it through right away per league rules. At the same time, however, I got into a text exchange with the owner of the 3-0 team who received Gordon in the trade. Basically, I questioned the motivation of the owner who gave up Gordon. I expressed concern that others in the league might make similar or worse trades, or that some owners may walk. We've lost owners in the past due to trades that were perceived to be unfair. In the end, the owner wanted to undo the trade, and in fact they both sent it back. At this point, I said I would not undo it if they both thought was 'legit'. It's still sitting out there. Since I respect the opinions around here (which is probably a hugh mistake), I figure I would throw the trade particulars to the you wolves to see what you thought about it. Is this a trade that any of you would make under any reasonable circumstance? P.S. This isn't a 'should I veto this' question...that is up to them. We don't veto trades.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 At first glance , 3_0 needed a rb and didn't have much to offer at wr besides decker. ( He's not trading ARob). Not sure why 0_3 traded away a rb b/c now he only has one. But he needed a wr. I don't see anything awful here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I guess you could say there's a reason he's 0-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anismith Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah it's a reasonable trade, especially if it was made before a few hours ago with the news that Decker might be injured. But even then, it's not THAT fishy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdko Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Holy crap, how many freakin' bench spots do you guys have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 On topic though, I think the person getting Gordon is getting the better deal, and it sucks it's the 3-0 team, but it's not so unfair that people should be bitching too much about it.

CowboysDiehard Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Holy crap, how many freakin' bench spots do you guys have? 11. I know it's crazy. We have a mandatory keeper rule, so really at every draft there are 17 picks made. WW get's pretty damn thin, and anytime something decent comes up, if you are up in the standings, forget about it.
