Does anyone allow/prohibit "poison pills" in your league trades? I recently had two owners put together a complex trade that had conditional trades/penalties that were linked to their original deal. For example, if one guy was receiving Tom Brady in the trade, he wasn't allowed to trade him to another team/division in the league without incurring some sort of penalty (had to give up a higher value pick, or got fined fictional league currency).
I have a concern over allowing these sorts of deals as I feel as though it promotes a certain level of collusion. I don't have an issue with conditional picks being included in a trade based on the performance of the players swapped but limiting the movement of players once a deal is complete has a certain stink to it. Am I off base here? Anyone have experience with this sort of thing in their league. Any bad repurcussions or am I overthinking this?
