fat4jc Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Alright...here's the story. Tom Brady owner makes a post about wanting to trade for a QB. I offer him: Drew Brees and Donald Driver for Reggie Wayne (Kind of generous I know, but all in all a fair offer, as I don't value Driver very highly with the emergence of Greg Jennings) The league VETOED it!! They said I was giving too much. This would be my starting lineup after the trade: Kurt Warner Andre Johnson Larry Fitzgerald Reggie Wayne Joseph Addai Thomas Jones Jeremy Shockey Chris Johnson (Flex) Rob Bironas Seattle Def For a 12 man league, I'd be VERY happy with this lineup... Should this trade have been vetoed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femmefootball Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Why didn't you offer Brees for Wayne straight up? Or tack on someone else on his end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooseknuckle Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 i would have vetoed it as well. Thats an obvious gift for the other guy and most likley you are helping him out and spliting the money! Nice try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat4jc Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Why didn't you offer Brees for Wayne straight up? Or tack on someone else on his end? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't take Brees for Wayne straight up. I revised the trade, and offered him this: Brees/Driver for Wayne/Heap Not that I have any interest in Heap, but...will do as a #2 TE on my team.

Mooseknuckle Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 What are you talking about clown???? I'm not bitter at all so shut the hell up! Just stop being so stupid about your trades and make some sense and people will take you serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 If the trade was vetoed beause the other owners thought there was collusion, I'd ask them to prove it. If they vetoed it because they thought it was unfair, find another league, cause yours is JV. No one can predict the future value of a trade, so they shouldn't be vetoed on perceived "fairness".....period. the fact you have this type of system in place is bizzarre.

keggerz Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 nothing wrong with Brees/Driver for Wayne...especially when you consider Colston is out for 4-6 weeks and it could impact Brees in a negative way....owners need to manager their own teams not other owners teams. IF someone is caught colluding that is one thing but to just veto a trade because you dont like it is crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop being so stupid about your trades and make some sense and people will take you serious. You haven't really explained yourself. How exactly is this collusion?

IF someone is caught colluding that is one thing but to just veto a trade because you dont like it is crap That's my thought. It may in fact be in his favor, but to veto it because of that is micro-managing if you as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Butkus Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Its a fair trade, IMO. Can't see why they'd veto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 This trade should not have been vetoed. In leagues I play in, you have to GIVE more to actually have the other owners accept your deals. No one EVER takes less then their players are worth. While I do agree that Brees for Wayne is the FAIR deal, the other person you're trading with WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT. IMO, you have to OVERPAY to get deals done.

CarbonThief Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Wayne is a stud in a great situation. No reason to vetoe. In my league, the thought of vetoe doesn't even come up unless colusion may exist. My first thought is an incompitent commish and jealous owners.
