Fair trade or veto?

[BobbyRoberto]

I'm the commish. Is this a fair trade or worthy of a veto?

Team A gives up:
Tiki Barber
Donte' Stallworth
T. Houshmandzadeh
Green Bay Packers defense

Team B gives up:
Clinton Portis
Chad Johnson
Atlanta Falcons defense

In my opinion, it's a bad, bad trade for Team B, who might be panicking because Portis and Johnson are off to slow starts. I think it's a downgrade at every position.

Thoughts?

Veto-able?

I'd Veto it....it's completely lopsided

[Turnip]

I dont like vetos. But if this kind of trade is going down I'd look for a new league

It is a horrible trade, but I've never been a fan of the veto...

The veto should only be used if 2 teams are screwing over the league (a losing team trades away the rest of his good players to a playoff bound team to give them an unfair advantage)...

if an owner accepts a trade, its not the commish's job to save him from his own incompetence...

i'd veto it. absolutely no reason to allow this trade.

exactly.

I'm gonna say that this trade is not worthy of a veto. Yes, this trade is somewhat lopsided, but it is not completely abhorrent. I think that vetos should only be used in cases of collusion or in cases of a trade being so lopsided that no sane person would make the trade. Collusion is pretty hard to prove and this trade is not so grossly lopsided that no sane person would do it. Now, if the trade were something like Portis for T. Houshmandzadeh, then that is so grossly lopsided that a veto should be used.

Well put no1cowboysfan. Let this trade stand and hopefully the owner of Team B learns his lesson.

[mad benjamin]

Definitely NOT vetoable. There is no evidence that these two teams are conspiring. It is more than likely that team B is panicking at the slow start of his players and saw a chance to get Tiki, who has been great in recent weeks. Any veteran of FF knows that the trade is horrible, but maybe team B should learn his lesson the hard way. Maybe it wouldn't hurt, though, for your commish to step in and find out what the thinking is just to let both parties know that people notice.

VETO THIS!

If you let this through, you'll have one or two happy owners and the rest will be upset. Do you really want the league to be pissed off and whiny? Fantasy Football is supposed to be fun. Trades like could make that team unbeatable. How is that fun?

This is not vetoable... Clearly Team B is getting panicky, but if you look at the stats thus far in the season, he's making what would appear (at this point) to be a sound move...

While the trade will probably bite him in the ass later, it's clearly not collusion, which is the only acceptable reason for a veto...
