giantsfan Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 traded Harrison FOR C. Brown and T. Henry. I mean what kind of deal is that? A top 5 WR for a RBBC. It is people like that, that quite honetly ruin leagues for the rest of us. And by the way it is the same 2 people who were involved in a deal last year of Q and P. Price for C-Pep after week 1 (same owner getting Harrison got C-Pep). Is that a joke or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Veto? Their history smells of possible collusion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) No collusion. Someone who needs RB's may, for some odd reason, like the Tennessee running game. With Brown already dinged up, this might not be RBBC for very long. Harrison is not getting any younger, and Manning has a lot of options in Indy. I don't think Harrison is a top 5 WR this year. In a keeper or dynasty league this is a very fair trade. In a re-draft, maybe a slight advantage for the guy who gets Harrison. AND WRONG FORUM!

Not a great deal, but not pisspoor either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a keeper or dynasty league. 2. How is this the wrong forum when I am not asking for any advice? Just simply stating a deal that went down. I didn't say should this be vetoed, we don't have that rule in our league, so not wrong forum. And it isn't collusion just a really stupid owner. And his only good RB is Jordan but we are allowed to start 4 WR's and only 1 RB so that isn't an issue. Anyway you cut it dealing a top 5 WR for a RBBC which makes both of them pretty useless is a very bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 in my League, Harrison's scored 9 points while the duo have combined for 6. Not that much of a scoring difference. Slight edge to Harrison but nothing to cry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Althought I agree the trade stinks, but you have not given me enough information to outright say it is bad. What if the guy with Harrison has no RBs (i.e. was banking on Arrington or DD) and he is desperate? I know I have made trades that did not favor me in rough times and they always benefited me in the longrun. However, due to their history maybe something is up. Look at their lineups then decide.

Those topics belong in the Fantasy Football Advice Forum (fantasy football team dilemmas). Not a big deal, I was just giving you my opinion.

Doc Holliday Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think the trade absolutely sucked. I would not be happy with the trade. but if it is not collusion than I would just have to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yup and since we don't have a rule about vetos we do just have to live with it. You should see my leagues message board right now. Not happy. And the guy who dealt Harrison only has Jordan at RB really, and had Bennett, Harrison, Moulds, and Keyshawn at WR. BUT again he can start that lineup. You can start 1 RB and 4 WR's in my league. On top of that even if you need a RB badly you don't deal a top WR for 2 time share RB's regardless. He could have gotten more for Harrison and he isn't required to start 2 RB's anyway so who cares go run and shoot with 1 RB and 4 WR's.

Again, I'm not saying it's a great deal, but it's not as bad as your making it out to be IMO. Did I mention this is in the wrong forum?

cliaz Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Personally and this is IMHO of course, Marvin is slowing down a bit, still a stud I guess....if peyton ever decides to show up this season. But unless it's T.O. or Moss, any RBBC is worth more than any WR cept the two above. RBs have a better chance of scoring and during the season a RBBC can turn into a single back by just one injury. RBs are gold, WRs a dime a dozen. Even though it's Marvin, I wouldn't raise a stink over it unless it looks like team stacking or a gift trade. I was just in a trade where dude offered me D. Davis for Larry fitz and Barlow and only one owner had a problem with the trade. The way we work it on our league is each owner is issued one challenge a year that is used to challenge a trade. Once you use it, you lose it. They can't be traded nor can they be carried over. It's done like this: The owner send a personal EMAIL to the commish stating he wishes to challenge the trade, then the commish (me) sends out an email to everyone stating a challenge has been issued and the reason for the challenge. THe only two people who can't vote are the two people doing the trade. Tie breaker goes to the people doing the trade. This has system has totally worked fantastic in our league. My trade stated above was challenged and 9 people voted yes to the trade out of a 12 man league. You know, i have no idea why i put that in there, that has nothing to do with your statement. my bad. I'm too lazy to hit the delete button. Edited September 21, 2005 by cliaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I don't see any reason why this is in the wrong forum, but that's just my opinion. Some owners get desperate and desperate real fast early in the season. Not a good trade, but it's not anything to get all bent out of shape about either.

sunysteelfly76 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 And it isn't collusion just a really stupid owner. 1007412 collusion: secret cooperation: secret cooperation between people in order to do something illegal or underhanded People like to throw around the "C" word but it is usually not warranted.
