I had to veto a trade last night (keeper league)

[cbfalcon 825]

Chris Johnson and Percy Harvin for Roddy White and Ced Benson.

 

I'm not one for vetoing fair trades, or even trades where someone has a 60/40 edge, but this one wasn't even close. If Johnson was in camp, and he and Harvin were closer to the same age as Roddy and Benson, it would be a pretty fair trade. But with one guy's status in question, plus one side of the trade being skewed younger (it is a keeper league afterall), it wasn't the type trade I could allow through the cracks with a clear conscience.

 

The owners involved are pretty pisssed at me, but I gave them the option of reworking it so it's not so lopsided. It's frustrating that owners are already trying to pull these type maneuvers and we haven't even played a real game yet.

 

I'm willing to admit that now that CJ has signed his deal, I could now overlook the age differences (keeper league) and probably let this trade go through were it attempted today.

 

But at the time, I felt I was doing the right thing.

You are looking weak as a commish to your leaguemates. But what else is new.

Good point. If I come off as weak on this decision, those fockers will smell blood and try to get all kinds of BS trades pushed through.

 

I'm holding firm even if they try to resubmit it.
