Collusion, bad trades killing a league (1 Viewer)

[Longshot88]

new dynasty started in May, 2 owners already replaced. one of the new owners has made some very questionable trades over the last few days.

Trade #1--- Team A gives... Percy Harvin WR MIN, Visante Shianco TE MIN,Julius Peppers DE CHI

Team B gives...Dustin keller TE NYJ , 2011 round 2 pick

Trade#2----Team A gives Steven Jackson RB STL, Matt Forte RB CHI , Marques Colston WR NOS

Team C gives Jamall Charles RB KCC , Chaz Schillens WR OAK, Geno Hayes LBer TBB ,2011 round 2 pick

Question one, is this collusion? I don't know what else to call it

Question two, do i drop this league? I love my team but i only have so much time, do i waste it on a league like this.

I don't think you can just play the collusion card because of a couple questionable trades (involving 3 teams no less).

Trade #1 is pretty bad.

Trade #2 isn't as bad.

Sounds like an inexperienced owner to me.

That doesn't make it collusion.

bad trades not do = collusion

you say it started may 2nd and 2 owners already dropped out. did the commish get the fee up front?

If the league is not competitive and a few owners are able to build powerhouse teams due to lack of experience, stupidity, collusion... ect.. Then the league probably won't last long. I'd drop the league if you think it's full of clowns...

But if you think you have a shot at bringing home the money this year, or if you'll lose your buy in... I'd stick it out 1 more year..

i know there are a few good owners, and i have a great chance of wining now and long term, but whats the point if there is little competion ?

If you think here is collusion it wont be any fun whether or not there actually is any and fun is the whole point.

If you think Minn is not going to have favre this season, trade one makes sense.

Actually yes. Harvin and Shiancoe value drop dramatically if you remove Favre from the equation. Keller is an up and coming TE; did you watch him in the playoffs?

 

[Longshot88]

I guess you dont do much dynasty

Trade 1 is awful and indefensible. In trade 2, team A may have gotten the best RB going forward given the wear and tear already on Jackson.

I like Keller... I really do. But the Jets are a run first team and now they've added Santonio Holmes into the mix. Keller is a good football player - not necessarily a great fantasy option. Even you though Keller was the second coming of Antonio Gates, his price tag is just not that high.

It's probably not collusion if one team is giving two others good deals, he's probably either inexperienced or selling out cheap. Make offers or drop the league if it bothers you this much.
