I accepted a trade this morning that I feel is fair, but the rest of the league is freaking out about. The guy who offered the trade also offered the same package to someone else, so it was in no way collusion. The reason I ask is this is my first year as commissioner and want to be as fair as possible.

The trade was:
Give: Shady
Receive: Davante Adams and Jordan Howard

Rest of my team:
QB: Baker and Dalton
RB: Mixon, Thompson, Justin Jackson, and Howard
WR: MT13, Thielen, Adams, Chark, Marvin Jones, Mike Williams
TE: Dissly
Def: Patriots

His team:
QB: Stafford and Brees
RB: Chubb, Shady, Gio, Ito, and L. Murray
WR: Jarvis, Fitzgerald, Amendola, and Ginn
TE: Waller
Def: Seahawks

Looks fine to me. Im a believer that KC is Shady's backfield. Im guessing they feel otherwise.

I don't think the trade is fair. But I also don't believe it to be collusion.

I believe you're getting hooked up for nothing but vetoing is for pussies.

He also offered that package to the Kerryon Johnson owner, Leveon bell owner, and to an owner for Freeman and Tevin Coleman. They all declined.

I offered to send over Marvin Jones or Chark if they think that makes it more fair.

You're basically trading Adams for McCoy which at this point is fair based on their production. But, it's tilted to Adams as far as what people expected coming into the season and what they're expected to do ROS. This is a classic case of selling Shady high and buying Adams low. This is the essence of fantasy sports. Not a veto scenario IMO at all.

Are we really thinking shady is going to be a thing?
To me this trade is kind of absurd.

I think he's going to be involved enough that people are wanting to aquire him and so far Adams hasn't impressed. Those that are paying attention realize GB has had a difficult schedule. But, not everyone sees it that way and panic over Adams ensues. I wouldn't give up Adams for McCoy personally.

Shady was always going to take over that backfield, and with the other two banged up he’s going to solidify it.

IMO the trade is lopsided, but not vetoable.

I think him offering to sell Devante low (Someone didn't accept for Freeman/Coleman ) to multiple owners only serves as proof this isn't collusion. Let it go through.

Fair trade and in no way vetoable.

If both parties feel that the trade is fair and improves their teams, there is no reason to veto a trade just because the rest of the league is butthurt that they think one team "won" the trade.

Do not stand for that bullshite. If there is no obvious collusion, you DO NOT VETO.

what other two are banged up? Darrel And Darwin are fine. Only Damien is out. And if you believe so much in him why are you trying to get rid of him?

Look, if we focus only on the thread title, the answer is no. I literattly have never vetoed a trade in my life.
However that trade is ridiculous to me.

Yes, because you know what you're doing lol. Guy getting Devante is 100% getting the best of it, but that's how it goes sometimes

I didn’t actively shop Shady, nothing to do with my thoughts on him ROS. Adams gives me 3 solid WR, and insurance if Thielen starts getting TD dependent bc his targets are decreasing. I have flexed Chark but that is in no way a reliable WR (yet).

Mixon showed some life and took some passing downs from Gio. Thompson will be getting plenty touches as the Redskins will be behind a ton. It was going to be hard to start Shady over either of them.

You're getting the much better end of that deal, but unless there is clear collusion your league shouldn't be policing trades.

Prefer the d Adams side by a wide margin but not veto able.

Selling high and buying low. Nothing wrong with that

I don't know. I have both and if Shady is ok this weekend and Damien Williams is out, I probably won't consider Thompson. Damien Williams hasn't shown that he can carry the load for a full season yet and he's already hurt.

Definitely think you get the benefit of this one, but I don't think it's vetoable. I think you let people run their teams how they want to, even if you think it's dumb.

The trade is tilted heavily in your favor but that’s not your fault. It’s not collusion so I’d let it go.


You should almost never veto a trade

Vetoing is not an acceptable response to a trade. If there's collusion, the cheaters should be ejected from the league and never spoken to again--I don't want to be in a league where there are cheaters. If it's not cheating, it stands.

That said, this is not a good trade for either team. you have strong receivers and suck at RB. He NEEDS another decent WR really bad and could have gone with Shady.
