Is it ever OK to overturn a trade based on injury? (1 Viewer)

It should stand. Rumors of his injury have been floating around all week.

I think if the trade happened after the injury and the owner was trying to take advantage of poor owner, then I don't think the trade is valid.

In our league we let the "poor" owner that didn't do his homework take his lumps. It makes them into a better owner. Protecting people from their own stupidity only encourages future stupidity.

IMO, owners are responsible for doing their homework prior to offering, or accepting a deal. I generally have the "a card laid is a card played" philosophy.I was contacted by 2 owners in my league who made a deal last night.At 6:30 pm last night Team A offers: Peyton Manning, Cedric Benson and Steve SmithTeam B would give up: Derek Anderson, Larry Johnson and Greg JenningsTeam B accepts this trade offer around 10 pm last night.Team A emails Team B (and me) this morning saying he wasn't aware of LJ's injury status and he wants the trade cancelled.Considering he proposed the deal on a Tuesday, he really doesn't have a leg to stand on, does he? FWIW - Team B has told me, privately, that if the other owner "babies it up" that I can cancel the trade, but that his preference would be for it to go through.Thoughts?

Wow...member number 4....

This guy must know his ####. He should be giving advice, not asking for it.

Because member number indicates so much...

Chiming in late, but I see no reason to overturn the trade. It's not collusive, each team had plenty of time to assess the health/playing situations of the players involved following Sunday's contest, and the owner who got the injured player in question is the one who made the offer. Slam dunk. And whatever decision is made, do not open it up to a vote of league owners unless that is mandated by your league rules.

it should be cancelled since its not fair trade if lj is out-the other owners should complain-

that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

LJ left the game on Sunday. It's not like this was unknown.

People should be responsible for what they accept, you DONT accept a trade without knowing ALL the health status' of the players involved.

In this case, the offeror was the one who was seeking LJ.

Whew. The LJ news was not super secret AND he offered the trade!I would think I would have to let this trade go through. Shame on that owner for not researching things before offering that trade.

I kind of have to agree with this.
