10 team $100 buy-in league. I know commish really well. Only know probably 3 or 4 of the other 9 guys in the league. This is my 4th year but its been around probably a decade.
Tiered keeper system where basically you can keep guys for the round you picked them + all free agents are last round picks but the keepers reset every 4 years.
So I was able to keep OBJ the last four years for a 16th round pick-- its helped me win the league obviously. Other guys like David Johnson were in the same boat.
Anyways-- the rules have been this way since I joined the league-- EVERYONE should have known that after this year- keeper reset (its a fresh draft next year)
Back to topic at hand:
I have Brady & Deshaun watson-- so I start flinging out offers last week for WRs to replace Odell using them as my bait.
I offered Brady straight up for all the top tier wrs from AB all the way to Jordy/Michael Thomas types.
I get a counter offer tuesday night around midnight of Brady + OBJ for Antonio Brown. I instantly accept.
Last night about 6 pm I get a text from the commish (my buddy) who says "Owner you traded with thought he could keep OBJ therefor I am vetoing the trade at his request"
Im not a very confrontational person so I simply replied "Thats a complete joke-- all owners know the rules... or they should- thats not my problem"
Anyways, Im a nuts to think this moronic owner who probably drafted 1/2 his players and made free agent moves thinking that guys can be kept shouldn't be forced to continue on with the trade he proposed??
Id love thoughts-- suggestions-- ideas!!
And yes-- I will more than likely not playing in this league next year w/ lame owners who don't even know the rules.
