chinatown dragons Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Okay, here's the deal....10 team league...I'm 8 and 3 (and commish)....other team is out of the playoffs....We keep 2 franchise players each year.... He wants Gore....He offered me Warner, Westbrook and Wayne for Gore, straight up.... The league has right to veto trades...I'm pretty sure that they would veto this one.....Since I get Warner, I can throw in McNabb....So, he gives me Warner, Westbrook and Wayne; I give him Gore and McNabb...... is that fair, or do I need to throw someone else in?

chinatown dragons Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Countered with: Gore, McNabb and Benson (throw in) for: Warner, Westbrook and Wayne I definite upgrade QB and WR (which I definitely need, see WR's below).... Give up a great RB; still got Grant, T Jones, Kevin Smith, and if Westy gets back to form..... thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 To me, if both the trade makes both teams better or has a chance to, then it is a fair deal no question. But, in a vacuum, it seems very unfair. Given the keeper aspect, it makes a little more sense, but still. Having never played in a keeper league, I don't have a feel for whether or not this is acceptable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyjets Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The guys' an idiot, why is he even actively trading if he's out of the playoff race? That being said, it's your obligation to fleece him here. I'd be pissed if I was in the playoff race with you. This is why I'd never step up and be commish, my commish was the beneficiary of some wack trades at the deadline this year and as the current league-leader I wasn't happy about it. But it's close enough that you'd be fine. See me http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=273082 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See me http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=273082 We keep 2 franchise players.....guess he's playing for next year.......Warner has been one of the best QB's in the league.....my fear, obviously, is Westbrook, who hasn't been the same....I give up Gore, who is running better than Westy, but get upgrade in Wayne, as Indy is playing better...see how it plays out.... Not like i gave him Rosenfels.....at least McNabb is a legit QB.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 I need some advice...as stated above, was approached by owner who wants Gore.....we keep 2 franchise players, and he is going to miss the playoffs this year.... I am commish of the league, but also run it fair, meaning that if owners object to a trade being lopsided, it won't go through..... Initially, owner offered me Warner, Westbrook and Wayne for JUST Gore....told him league would have my head...said can't do.... We decided: McNabb Gore Benson For Warner Westbrook Wayne yes, i upgrade at WR and QB......feel with Westy injured and the season Gore is having, plus fact better long term franchise player, he does okay there.... One owner said doesn't feel trade is that big of a deal......other owner says it's total BS...... What are peoples thoughts? should I reverse trade out?

chinatown dragons Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Westy is probably out the next two weeks, but if you can afford to lose two games, then Westy might be healthy for your FF playoffs. Wayne is going to do well. You upgrade two positions and seriously downgrade one. It's a good deal for you, but I don't think it's as good as you and everyone else thinks. Is Westy out for next 2 weeks??? I haven't seen that posted anywhere.....been reading he misses practice, which is norm for him then suits up and plays......Havent seen that he is likely to miss anytime.....anyone verify that?

LayLow Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If he is trying to get a keeper like GORE, you HAVE TO OVERPAY GREATLY. I was prepared to trade Brees and LT in order to get AP but the other guy has no use for Brees and LT as he is already out of the playoffs.

scottyjets Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Missed that. It's a good deal for both sides then, still why I'd never be commish, because if you're another player it's a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonThief Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 In a keeper environment its not an unfair trade. However, why not just stick with what you have. If its not broke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc'n Right Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 You raped that guy and your the commish? You should be ashamed of yourself. As much as you want to justify it and say its a keeper league or whatever you took tha guy to the cleaners and you know it. If this trade did not involve you and it came across for your review you know you would nix it and that alone is why you sir are a cheater.....and your friend should not be playing FFB he is not competant enough.

wolfdigger Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I had a similar deal today. Another guys offered up Adrian Peterson for Roddy White and Jamal Lewis. We did; White/Lewis and Owen Daniel for AD/Holt and Greg Olsen They approached me and I am the commish. They have D. Williams and Turner so had 3 stud RB, their WR and TE were weak. They are very happy and of course I am happy. If both parties are happy isn't it a good trade? The art of the deal is to benefit both sides, whether it's fact or perception.

The league runs itself....we put trades to a Vote....Commish does not rule on trades...rules (basically, monitor payment, scheduling, etc...).....I put this to a vote...at first, some balked and I said fine, trade can be revoked.....its a ten team league....Majority said trade should stand......reason being, he gets legit franchise back, which he wanted....He has Eli already as a QB...Colston....Addai....Brandon Jacobs....Gates....Cotchery....he had a good solid team, just string of bad matchups.... i was hurting at WR.....believe me, far from being a cheater.....i was all set to act on however league saw fit...8 teams voted for it to go through....
