League Trade being deemed lopsided

[RepoPatrol 14]

One owner is trading Watkins and Matt Jones. In return he is getting Moncreif and Karlos Williams. The guy getting Moncreif and Williams also has Luck and McCoy. The other owner tends to dominate our league annually.

 

An uproar has been started in our league which threatens to veto this trade. As commissioner I approve trades and then teams can challenge if they desire.

 

i do not think this trade is clearly lopsided and will actually benefit the team that is getting Moncrief and Watkins more than the other side.

 

Having it being challenged so passionately makes me want to step away from this league all together as I think these other owners are being completely juvenile and voting it against it more because of who the owners are than anything else.

 

Does anyone think this trade is so clearly lopsided it should be vetoed?

[DankNuggs 305]

Why? I'd rather have Moncrief, and I'd rather have Matt Jones... seems pretty fair to me. Both Williams and Watkins might have some more value later on in the year.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this trade and its a case of owners crying cuz they arent making moves.

[Challenger 72]

Just move to another league, everyone and their dog has a league now, no need to put up with craps.

[IGotWorms 3,323]

No such thing as veto w/o collusion

[Kopy 493]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Did any of the cry babies offer a valid reason why it shouldn't go through, or did they just whine, and throw temper tantrums?

That is a great point. Once this trade issue is completed there will be no more opportunity to vote in our league or we will have a new commissioner. Sometimes dictator is the only route to take.

Nothing at all wrong with that trade. The complainers in your league are whiny tools.

[boilerddd 62]

You play FF with some whiney dudes. Don't even want to call them girls because that would be an insult to little girls, who wouldn't dream of throwing a hissy fit over this. Seriously who actually wins this trade? No damn way anyone can predict after two weeks. Losers.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Iv said this many times but its always worth repeating. the trade veto system is archaic and outdated. Think about it logically, why would any owner in their right mind approve a deal that made his opponents better? Why on earth would I want YOU to improve or shore up a weakness? It makes no sense. Trades should be approved by commish only.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Your whole league is a bunch of pvssies

[Byrdman5 104]

It's not lopsided. I think it favors moncrief side, but jones could prove this trade was lopsided in favor of the other side by years end.

Not even close to being lopsided haha

[RepoPatrol 14]

Thanks guys. I laid down the law with my league. I will be sole decider going forward. They can replace me if they wish which would be no sweat off my back.

[brotherbock 349]

It's lopsided. Clearly it's more in the favor of these two owners than it is for the rest of the league.

 

That's a good trade.

[NewbieJr 540]

Sounds like a case of the other owners being jealous of how good the one owner is, so they dislike any move he makes.

THIS

 

Unless there is evidence of collusion it doesnt matter how lopsided anyone's opinion is of the trade. People need to worry about their own teams. I hate leagues that micromanage teams.

No veto there. Had a trade in our league Woodhead for Christine Michael last week...

[murf74 461]

Good trade

[tanatastic 2,061]

No veto there. Had a trade in our league Woodhead for Christine Michael last week...

The day that guy is no longer talked about in fantasy will be a day I am happy. Woody is a top 6 rb right now. Michael is barely 4th on his own depth chart and prob a healthy scratch more weeks than not. ITs neck and neck with the meaning of life as most puzzling situations in the universe. In fact, id like the email address of the guy who traded Woodhead for Michael.

[JtmoneyJag 25]

Not sure how it is lopsided.

[Flgatorguy87 160]

Still trying to figure out which side I prefer.

 

I guess Moncrief, but people writing of Watkins already are premature in my opinion.

 

Tough call but its Collusion.

LOL tantastic he's a boys fan

[BTL99 34]

10000% fair.

 

People in that league are brain dead.

[Criper 24]

Lopsided? That's laughable that anyone would even call BS on this trade.

[redsrback 30]

Either you make trades or you don't. You want a guy to get better you let him know how clueless he is or boot him from league. Also what am I doing wrong by agreeing with a trade in my favor. As for the commissioner, step up only if necessary, 2 guys trying to make money or simply don't want somebody else to win is different.

[brotherbock 349]

Lopsided? That's laughable that anyone would even call BS on this trade.

 

I think some people might have the motivation of helping an owner they think is getting taken advantage of. If you think a guy in your league is clueless, I could see the motivation of trying to defend him from bad trades. But you don't do that by challenging the trade. We all have the freedom to do stupid things in this game.

[granta_05 3]

Looks like a pretty even trade to me. As others have said, unless you have blatant collusion taking place, trades should not be vetoed. I'm in the camp of trade approval solely being the commissioner's responsibility.

[Donkey 34]

honestly i mean everyone will have their opinions on which side they prefer but that trade is about as fair as they come.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Nah, a lopsided trade is what just went down in one of my leagues between two brothers:
Chris Johnson, Starks, Adams, J Thomas for R Bush, Gore, Maclin, Kelce
