RedzoneMonster 102 Posted October 10, 2020 The trade really doesn’t make sense for team x. The WR part is pretty much a wash. Long term Carson more valuable than Davis. Heck, next week Davis may be obsolete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, next week Davis may be obsolete. Thats exactly my thoughts.. collusion doesn't have to mean you're trading Kamara for desean Jackson. I could understand if the 1-3 team is trying to get better.. but in this case its only getting worse. Top 3 places get paid and its a $100 per team league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackills 19 Posted October 10, 2020 I've known a lot of these guys for ~20 years so dont necessarily want to stir the pot and get feelings hurt... plus neither one of them ever finishes top 3, i might have to tell them only one of them can play starting next year.

jrokh 568 Posted October 10, 2020 Hold on do you mean Godwin, as in the TB receiver? If so you threw me off by misspelling it goodwin. Yeah, that would be a trade I might actually vote down, and I'm pretty liberal about not doing that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serenity Now 44 Posted October 10, 2020 It’s a bad trade no doubt, but just to play devils advocate, the 1-3 team could be thinking they don’t have time wait around for Godwin to get healthy. Are you sure these two are cheating and you don’t just have two bad fantasy players? Are they rejecting better offers, only to accept low ball? They could just be making trades with the most convenient person to trade with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Mccaffery returns what value would you give M Davis vs Carson i can see what your points about Godwin but getting Metcalf and Davis for Carson and Godwin, that’s fishy. And OP said they have been making boarder line trades every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackills 19 Posted October 10, 2020 to add more color... 1. these guys do always make borderline shady trades.. and i have warned them before while still letting it go through( i have a feeling that one guy is running both teams but have no way of proofing) 2. The 1-3 team X lost Barkley and so far has 2 waiver pick ups and 5 moves - most of the pickups are kickers. His only starting RB is Carson. 3. 3-1 team Y has 9 waivers, 14 moves and 1 trade - obviously much more active Anyway.. i vetoed the trade.. lets see what happens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And OP said they have been making boarder line trades every year. I wouldn’t do the trade, just playing devils advocate. A 1-3 team is probably looking at the next couple of weeks trying to get a couple of W’s and if we’re just looking at the next week or two the Metcalf Davis side is probably stronger. In a vacuum this trade I see a bad owner who didn’t do enough shopping around. If they have a history of this, then that’s one thing, but this trade by itself without full context of rosters, doesn’t make me think collusion, just a bad trade...I’m also low on Godwin, since he seems to have a long time lingering hamstring issue.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 11, 2020 Metcalf is a super stud, if he’s in the deal it’s worth it. Godwin? What has he done this season? But yes the father and son are shady af. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 590 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) My answer is this: find another league. If these two make questionable deals every year, why are you there? I'm not gonna look at the analysis of the specifiic trade you speak of. That is because if you had any sense you would have left so you dont have to deal with this nonsense every year.

easilyscan 558 Posted October 11, 2020 If this is an ongoing thing as you say, I'd consider eliminating trades next year. I've been the commish of a league since 2006. After 5 years of putting up with blatantly lopsided trade requests, slightly lopsided trades requests, & yes, a few that seemed fair to me, I eliminated trading. Even the ones I approved because they seemed reasonable to myself & a majority of team owners, were met with whining from a couple others. A few people groaned, but eventually they all just accepted it.
