Their is a trade up for approval now and it seems a little shady.
Team A trades Clinton Portis and Mark Clayton to
Team B for Curtis Martin and Donte Stallworth.
The problems is not totally with this trade. There was a trade last week between the exact same teams.
Team A traded Hines Ward and PHI DEF
Team B traded Marshall Faulk, Kevin Faulk, Frank Gore and Marcus Pollard. I thought this was a very uneven trade but allowed it. Team A was 0-3 and Team B is 1-2.
Both guys are new members in the league and they know each other. This is a money league. The trades are not obviously collussion, but they are a little suspicious. Team A told me that team B told him that he was giving up a good WR to get some RB help, but then a week later he trades his best RB to get a upgrade in WR. Something just doesn't add up.

Is there a problem with this trade in which I should not allow it.
First trade looks a little fishy but this new one is fine - Portis hasn't done much, neither has Martin, Stallworth is on-again-off-again and Clayton is who-knows?
The first one looks like a bad decision by Team A but from the look of his team he doesn't seem to know what he is doing so I would suspect stupidity before collusion...
I say collusion. Portis has a lot more value than Martin right now and Clayton has more potential than Stallworth. The other trade with PHI D is ridiculous. The fact that they know eachother and have done 2 trades in the past wk....something doesnt add up. I say ask for a reasonable explaination for both of the trades. However, I would let the two trades go if their explainations are understandable. Not sure if I would allow anymore trading btwn the two.
Team A sure got ripped on both trades. I'd let these first 2 trades slide just because both teams look awful. I don't see a legit #1 pick on either team. But if one more trade like this happens in favor of team B by a landslide, I would want an explanation.
You do understand that accusing someone of collusion is accusing them of cheating right? Are you honestly prepared to accuse someone of being a cheater just because you disagree with his trade? In many parts of the world an accusation like that can get a guy's ass kicked - I'd certainly knock your teeth out the back of your head for it...
To say that Portis is that much higher than C-Mart right now is laughable (they're both looking equally crap so far), and if you throw in the Stallworth (looking better with Joey Horn injured) it is pretty even...

You are entitled to ur opinions, I am entitled to mine. I find it hard to believe that Team A would want to make these trades.
As well, Martin is hurt and on a terrible Jets team (he couldnt even score on the 1 yd line). Stallworth should return to normal numbers when Horn comes back.
And yes I do know that collusion = cheating. I stand by what I said.

alright. based on your reaction, i'm also accusing you of roid-rage.
christ. can't someone have an opinion without some back-alley bozo saying they'd, "knock your teeth out the back of your head"? you have to get back to class. recess is over. now, be quiet while the grown-ups talk.
i agree, generally, with the people's opinions here. these trades are suspect but not so awful that i'd disallow them. any other funny business between the two, though, and i'd drop the hammer on them.

Maybe you should go back and try reading what I wrote:
If someone accused me of cheating to my face - which is essentially what Rockets is saying when he says Collusion - I would punch that person in the head. You can have whatever opinion you want but if you insult my honor to my face you better be ready to accept the consequences.
Are you going to sit there and tell me you would accept some back-alley bozo accusing you of cheating? You seem to be the one that needs to grow up - or at least grow a sense of personal pride...
