burton Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My trade was Ocho for culter..............Was I screwed by my league? I'd say so, looks fine to me. Any reasoning behind why people thought it was unfair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'd say so, looks fine to me. Any reasoning behind why people thought it was unfair? I think because I already have a strong team......That's why I could let Ocho go...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burton Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think I'm going to put my whole team on waivers tomorrow to piss them off.........not sure yet If your team is strong I'd rather play it out and beat them. Still for whatever reason don't let this stop you from trying trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00tballguy20 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 People are jaded by Mike Martz coming to Chicago, and more often than not, with good reason. Cutler's been great thus far, and he's had targets in Hester, Aromoshadu, Knox, and Bennett, not to mention Forte. I understand it's early but you should bet on Cutler doing great. Ochocinco relies on Palmer to do well, and if he doesn't, good ol' 8-5 won't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkirc Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 This is crazy talk. What is wrong with that trade? People need to get over themselves and let owners run their own teams. Who is getting screwed here? Cutler isn't exactly Peyton Manning. This crap pisses me off and I don't even know who you are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdunk Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I see nothing wrong with the trade. My experience has been that certain individuals block trades just to prevent people from improving their teams. Call it strategy or gamesmanship, whatever. I don't agree with it. My league's commissioner has final say on all transactions and we've never had an issue with collusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbrake Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well said Jdunk the commish should have final say to keep the league fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkirc Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The best way I have experienced to deal with trades is to have someone not in the league be the commish and have final say on trades. I commish a league I am not in and a buddy commishes one of my leagues he is not in. No conflict of interest. We have never had a trade vetoed in 8+ years in either league.

Allways a bridesmaid Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) By the sounds of it, I think you had an unfair bias against you. I think your trade is completely fair. Here is my extra two cents: As a commissioner in my league, I have come across a number of questionable trades that I have allowed. I have allowed them because the primary criteria that i look for is if the two owners are performing an act of collusion. If they are not, then push the trade through. We are all adults. We all are acting as GM's of our respective teams. We have the freedom to make any trades that we want to help pur ourselves in the best possible position to win. That should be the only criteria should be considered. Edited September 23, 2010 by Allways a bridesmaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBroncos Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My trade was Ocho for culter..............Was I screwed by my league? Depends on your rules. Cutler is a scoring whore while Ocho is a average WR1. Your league might think there was some collusion there with such a 1 sided deal.
