Just joined a "friendly" league. Only $30 a team so I wanted to be sure before I questioned this trade. 2 of the guys that know each other previously did this trade right after the draft was finished and I think it reeks. Just lookin for confirmation. Or am I just paranoid?
Team A gets C. Chambers, D. Foster and J. Plummer.
Team B gets S. Smith, F. Taylor and C. Pennington.
Aren't all 3 Team B guys better than their respective positional counterpart? Don't understand at all what Team A would be lookin for? This is a very bad way to start this league off, right?

That trade is shocking
Smith>Chambers
Fred Taylor>>>>>Foster
Penington>Plummer
Veto that, and impose trading bans on both those teams for trying to cheat.
i would certainly protest this trade. taylor and foster are not even in the same league. trading a starting rb for a backup is a major indicator of collusion. it appears they tried to offset this by throwing in two other guys. its hard to argue collusion for smith and chambers. pennington and plumber is hard to argue as well.
so what you have is basically a wash at wr and qb. whats left is basically a trade for taylor for foster. nobody in their right mind would trade taylor for foster. therefore i would have to think these two owners are colluding.
the first trade at the top is obscene and shouldn't be allowed. the portis/s. moss trade seems like a possible case of collusion too, but don't jump the gun. it also looks like one of your owners could possibly be very dumb. if that's the case you cannot veto that trade (I had a problem with this in a fantasy hockey league, where my friend and I tried to take advantage of dumb owners and the trades always got vetoed). if the trade is legit, even if one owner doesn't know what the hell he's doing, it can't be called unfair just because one owner made a helluva deal.

In mostly all leagues, owners would never let the trade pass...i
if the trade has gone through, Speak to the other owners and the commish...More than likely nobody else should feel like the trade is fair to the crappy team no to mention the entire league and its integrity.Resulting in vetoeing the trade.
If the trade hasnt been approved yet, GET A POSSE TOGETHER and deny, deny, deny.
Actually is vetoeing and not approving a trade the same thing...
To answer your question...Nobody is sure if this is COLLUSION. the owner just might be stupid...That is why the other owners in the league and commish are involved in "trade fairness"...In this case, if the owner is stupid, The other owners will protect him by preventing the trade.
If you find out that there was COLLUSION between the two owners "trade restrictions"between the two of them should be enforced.
FINALLY, dont let these cheaters have their way. dont be a doormat to their weak and blatant strategies.
BOTTOM LINE DONT TAKE SHIT>>>GIVE IT....
IF ALL ELSE FAILS dont pay or ask for your money back and make it a free league.
