Ok, thats bloody crazy. 
I had an owner send me two pages of rambling email #####ing about instituting League Points to reward both head to head victories and total points to determine playoff spots. I should tell him we're doing the trade thing just to see him flake out.

Interesting...Do they have to trade them to each other or are they free to find their own deals? If so, what time limit do they operate under?Samkon Gado owner and Morency Owner are both

must trade the same two players for one another...so if Shaun Alexander gets traded to the bears for Thomas Jones and a 2nd rounder.... the owners of TJ and SA have to do the same.. plus the TJ owner has to throw in a 2nd rounder in the rookie draftInteresting...Do they have to trade them to each other or are they free to find their own deals?

only applies if both players are currently on a roster.... if a defensive player or non skill position is involved, the owner gets either a draft pick for that player depending on the following criteria
1) made the pro-bowl once in the last 2 years.. 1st round pick
2) made the first team NFL in the last 2 years.... 1st round pick in each of the next two drafts
3) not a pro-bowler in the last 2 years but has started 70% of team's games.. 2nd round pick
4) not a pro-bowler in the last 2 years but has started 50% of team's games.. 3rd round pick
5) not a pro-bolwer in the last 2 years but has started 20% of team's games.. 4th round pick
6) throw in player... 6th round pick
1) made the pro-bowl once in the last 2 years.. 1st round pick
2) made the first team NFL in the last 2 years.... 1st round pick in each of the next two drafts
3) not a pro-bowler in the last 2 years but has started 70% of team's games.. 2nd round pick

Could you imagine that rule in a fantasy baseball league? Now that would be funny stuff.must trade the same two players for one another...so if Shaun Alexander gets traded to the bears for Thomas Jones and a 2nd rounder.... the owners of TJ and SA have to do the same.. plus the TJ owner has to throw in a 2nd rounder in the rookie draftInteresting...Do they have to trade them to each other or are they free to find their own deals?

I see this type of rule the same way I view poker games that degenerate into oddball rules and, finally, "Indian Poker".
It may be fun, but it sure ain't poker anymore.
I'm a fantasy owner. I make the choices for my team. Having some rule that shakes things up just because turns it into something else for me.

The whole point of fantasy is to get players together who wouldn't ordinarily be on the same team. Why would this change when their real-life counterparts change teams? Torry Holt and Roy Williams don't play together in real life... Shaun Alexander and Willie Parker don't share a backfield in real life...
All this to say, how does this change make FF better?

I'd imagine the owner that spent two picks locking up the Houston running game is happy with this rule.

the thought behind it is that a fantasy owner shouldn't get penalized by a player who gets traded out of a good situation into a bad situation.BaBastage said:I see this type of rule the same way I view poker games that degenerate into oddball rules and, finally, "Indian Poker".It may be fun, but it sure ain't poker anymore.I'm a fantasy owner.

no normal trading is allowed.. just a wrinkle to the rules..makes a player like Jerry Porter a bit more valuable since he has been rumored to be on the trading block all year.

Let's assume this is a refreft league, and Seattle had given the Patriots Jerramy Stevens and a 1st rd pick for Deion Branch. Stevens was picked up in the draft by this fantasy team and not dropped yet.
Would the Stevens owner have to give up their 1st round pick and Stevens to acquire Branch? If not, why not? It was part of the trade, and it's "lopsided" without that compensation thrown in there, at least according to the NFL teams making the trade.
