Medal of Honor Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) My team is in my signature. I have Thomas Jones on a bye this week, and no great backup for him (other than Hightower which is hit or miss). EDIT, HERE IS THE FINAL TRADE PROPOSAL HE JUST SENT ME I trade: Thomas Jones (NYJ) Kellen Winslow (CLE) Anthony Gonzalez (IND) Seahawks DEF He gives me: Steve Slaton (HOU) Heath Miller (PIT) Amani Toomer (NYG) Cardinals DEF The way I look at it, my RB and WR are going up in value, while my DEF and TE are going down in value. As somebody who doesn't really value the TE position at all (too volatile if it isn't Witten), and the fact I own another DEF, I think I can take this hit. I also have the 4th waiver pick this week, and my first waiver is in for Fasano. What do you guys think? Make the trade?

richardsj78 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I would go for it, for the same reasons you stated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfdigger Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Slaton has an easy schedule and Washington is cutting into Jones' work. Winslow is a stud and you are selling low, but the Browns may never figure it out this year and Miller is not bad. WR wash out. I'd try it, good luck.

claymont Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I like the trade I think Slaton is going to be getting better and better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medal of Honor Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Any idea why this trade is being vetoed, when there has NEVER BEEN a vetoed trade in this league (and just about every trade I've ever seen in this league was lopsided).

HitDaDoja Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Are you in 1st place. Whenever people see the 1st place guy making moves that could help in the future such as this one, even if they dont know poopy they get a little worried. Maybe your league only needs a couple votes.

Medal of Honor Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I'm nearly in last place... 3rd to last. We need 7 (of 12) to pass the veto. Currently 4 have voted to veto it. In the past, NOBODY has voted to APPROVE or VETO any trade ever made in this league. It's always just passed due to time. This is probably almost the 12th trade.

HitDaDoja Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Maybe the guy you are trading with. To some it may seem lopsided in his favor just because while you are predicting downward stocks, they are spiralling YET. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medal of Honor Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I have no idea. From what I heard it's because I voted one trade that was really lopsided a couple weeks ago. I'm not the commish, and I was the only person of 12 that vetoed that trade, so the trade passed regardless. While votes are anonymous (as are results), word got out that I vetoed that one specifically. Now 4 people, 3 of which were NOT involved in said trade, have vetoed my trade. Am I the only person that thinks that's retarded? What am I supposed to ignore the veto button and pretend it doesn't exist, even when somebody is getting Adrian Peterson for two broken and poor players? Is veto ONLY for use in COLLUSION? In that case shouldn't only the commish have it. Sorry, I'm frustrated. Having trouble seeing this one being veto-worthy.
