Had to bring up some trades to this board to prove to the commish that people outside our league feel his rejections are meritless. Opinions wanted:
Standard Performance Scoring
14 teams
9 Starters, 6 Bench Players
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 FLEX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D
Trades made this week that got rejected. None involved me:
Trade 1
Donovan McNabb and Fred Taylor for LaDanian Tomlinson and Johnny Knox.
Reason for denying: Not equal value. Donovan and F Taylor are starting skill players while the other two are #2s at their spot.
Trade 2
T.O. and Gaffney for V.Jax
Reason for denying: Unequal value for a player not on a team / suspended.
I've spoken to the Commish and tried to explain that you can't reject trades because you deem that to be of "unequal value." That's garbage. Trades are hardly ever equal in value as the whole concept of "value" is subjective. I also made the point that you should only reject trades when there is such a gross disparity in the trade (a stud RB like CJ for Gaffney) or there is evidence of collusion. Almost everyone in our league agrees with me (probably because they made the trades too!). Just wanted your opinions. Thanks in advance.
