Basically, a bf and gf in our league tried to trade Steve Smith for Joseph Addai. Our LM vetoes, drama occurs.
Here are his and her teams:


Your take? I think they were planning on trading them back and forth and stuff which isn't ethical, right?

Looks like a good deal for both teams, albeit stupider for hte person trading away Steve Smith.
Stupid for the league manager to veto that.

You can't call collusion until more than one transaction of this nature takes place.For the first trade proposal to be dropped by the LM is just retarded. I'm in a Yahoo! basketball and hockey pool. No football but the ethics are the same obv.

i wouldnt let it happen either. That is a terrible trade with the points addai is putting up this season. Make them add someone with smith to make it semi fair.

the LM's responsibilities do not include making sure that one trade is fair for both teams. Only when it happens more frequently with the same teams should there be a concern. Maybe a good team is simply taking advantage of a bad teams management. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
