Smith is a viable starter. Rhodes is not. Taylor is worth more then Driver. So trading Taylor and Smith for Driver and a benchwarmer doesn't constitute a good trade IMO. Or am I being obtuse?Lets see, he traded Taylor and got Driver. Driver <> Driver?

I think it should be brought to the attention of the entire league and then a decision should be made as a group. The commish doesn't realize what he is opening himself up to. No trade from here on out is safe because no matter where in the process it is one of the owners can say they changed their mind and he has to veto it. He is setting a precedent that will alter how all trades are handled and open the door to major problems.Still, you need to let everyone know what happened and the fact that he made the offer to you and you accepted. It isn't like you made it to him and he accidenntally clicked accept instead of reject. The league should make this decision, but I wouldn't be surprised tosee them agree with the outcome saying that it is an unfair trade. Owners are funny like that.
I am sickened I had to do this, especially as an Oakland fan, but I traded Lamont Jordan and Randy Moss for Laurence Maroney in a Dynasty league.
I needed the RB and it is obvious that Oakland's line would have a hard time opening a can of soda, much less a hole for the RB.
Given the relative ages of all players involved and my conviction that Maroney is a stud, I felt compelled. The owner trading Maroney didn't want to do the deal, but felt he had to after what I laid out. Greed won out for him.
I had already offered the same deal for Fitzgerald.......no dice.
This is a BAD year to be a Raider fan. Very bad year.

Publicly de-pants the commish for that B.S. move.Just cause he's commish doesn't allow him to veto a trade he offered and was accepted.

These are the teams before the trade.
Mine:
QB: Bledsoe, Vick
RB: Caddy, JJones, Mike Bell, Lundy, M.Turner
WR: CJ, Wayne, Mason, Williamson, Wilford
TE: H.Miller
K: Wilkins
DEF: Pitt
His:
QB: Brady, Plummer
RB: Jackson, W.Parker, Addai, M. Barber, M.Anderson, Blaylock
WR: Rod Smith, Stallworth, Houshmanzadeh
TE: Cooley
K: Tynes
DEF: Indy
I offered Caddy for Steven Jackson. He countered with Jackson & Stallworth for Caddy & Wayne. I accepted. Now another owner is offering Chambers for Stallworth. On the fence about that one. Don't know if Stallworth's first week is a sign of things to come, or the best he will be all year.

We start 1 qb, 2 rb, 4 wr including te if u want and a flex every 3rd week for high point.
My Team: Vick, Favre, Kitna. Gore, FWP, Droughns, C.Taylor, Duece Mac, Benson. Moss, Ward, S.Smith, B.Edwards, Ma.Clayton. G. Jennings.
Traded C.Taylor and Clayton for Burress and T.Jones.
High performance/distance 10 team redraft.
Thoughts: Needed a solid 3 Wr w/ Smith out till the flex capasitor is invented and had depth @ RB to spare plus got T.J. just in case one of da boys claims the job full time. If Smith comes back, my starting 4 Wr's would be Smith, Moss, Ward, and Plax with Edwards as depth boy.
Let me hear it ringers....

A nice little bump.
Traded D Rhodes and Lee Evans for Kevan Barlow and T Glenn.
I think Barlow has more upside then Rhodes, and I can't predict when to use Evans to be of any use to me. Plus Glenn has been solid despite TO, and with TO being injured he gets a bump in value and is a potential trade bait for the TO owner.

Just had a big one in a Zealots league. I'm in a rebuilding year and I traded away Peyton Manning (I still have Eli), J.Sorgi, A.Green, J.Harrison, and E.Moulds for Ronnie Brown and his 1st round rookie pick. I thought it went well for me because I'm trying not to win in this league and Peyton almost won me my last game. I basically traded him so I wouldn't have to start him. I really want the 1.1 next year so I can take my boy Peterson!

The one thing that keeps me from moving Dunn or Tiki and Fred Taylor for LT or SAlex. I dont need Fred right now, but the prospect of NOT having him when I need him to gain a couple of points per week isnt worth it.

Just traded Fitz for Chester Taylor straight up.
I now have Tiki, Chester, Fred T., Kevin Jones, Barlow as RB's.
Wr's consist of Driver, R. Moss, Bryant, Williamson, and Muhammad.

Before the season started I traded Peyton and Williamson for TJ housh and Ronnie Brown
I had McNabb (Got him in the 5th rd DD said the time was right) on my bench and really thought he was going to blow up this year. I couldn't be killing myself every week as to who to start and no one would take McNabb at that point
I figured at the 5th spot a RB should have gone anyway so if I traded Manning now I wouldn't have all that value on my bench and I would have my solid 2 starting RB's all year.
Now the problem comes in that I have alot of RB tallent on the bench and I can start looking to solidify my WR's but no one's taking after just the 1st week... they want to see if their picks will pan out.
Well the Comish in our league and I talk alot at the local bar and I can tell he's dieing to make a deal any deal and I want to work something out with the guy but he's looking for what I'm looking for WR's. 2nd week Sunday morning I'm looking at people's line up and mine and I don't feel comfortable with my Defense I had NE and had picked up the Rams after week 1.
I had dropped the Rams a day before, right after I had picked them up on tuesday right at waiver wire time. (I started feeling like I had jumped the gun with them so I dumped them like 3 days later). So anyway Sunday morning I'm talking to the comish and notice he's got the Bears D, were talkin trades you know whodo you want who do you got, who will you give up. I know he's a big Rams homer so I say how about Warrick Dunn and the Rams D ( even though I had dumped them 2 days ago) for Chicago's D and it slows him down. He's thinking and thinking and I'm talking up the Rams....."you saw how good they were last week they'll do it all year"
Meanwhile I'm going out to the Add/ Drop spot and picking the Ram's D up. He makes the trade and promptly loses his matchupby about the difference between a good D and a bad D.
Don't feel bad for the guy he did get a really good RB out of the deal and he took 2nd in the league last year . Now though he's gonna have some tough RB decisions to make this year. He's got Tiki, Gore and now Dunn
Here's my team as of now and the 2nd trade I made this year.
Bears D biggrin.gif & Tony Romo(Just someone he's looking to get rid of might be good if Bledsow goes down too) ended up dropping Romo and picking up Berrian and Colston. I dropped Suggs also

Dynasty league:
Just traded Jamal Lewis for Ben Watson. While I feel like I got the much better dynasty player in Watson, the other owner has a lot of questions at RB.

Brian Calhoun
2007 1st Round Pick
for
Cadillac Williams
Michael Pittman
2007 2nd Round Pick
2007 3rd Round Pick
Why? Because I am tired of KJ and I love Caddy long term. I am now without a first round pick for next year, but I have 2 seconds and 2 thirds, as well as a 4th and 2 5ths. We'll see how it all shakes out in the long run I guess....

I am also think about trading Mike Bell, Deshaun Foster and Deangelo Williams straight up for FWP
giving me FWP portis and j lewis. i would have to start a WR in the flex during RB bye weeks, but i hate the CAR situation and I'm determined to get rid of them before they really start stinking up the place with their inconsistent performances and suckouts.

One guy in my redraft league traded Alexander for Westbrook and J. Jones. I'm pretty steamed because he could have gotten a lot more for Alexander. The team that got Alexander has LJ too. I'm sure the guy trading Alexander could have gotten R. Brown or C. Taylor and R. Wayne for Alexander.

14 team league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 ST/D. Standard FBG scoring, but 6 pts for all TDs.
Traded Cotchery for Owens today straight up.
Both my team and the other are 2-0, and this other team won the title last year (and a trade with me made it happen).
But the other owner literally had no backup WR and was going to have to pick up and start a free agent while Owens is out, with 64 WRs already rostered (though he'll have the same problem with bye weeks later). I simply pointed out that Cotchery is the 4th best WR after 2 games, and Owens may miss 2-4 weeks. No haggling, just easy acceptance.
I now have Holt, Wayne, Owens, Bryant, and Williamson at WR, so once Owens is healthy I'll definitely be looking to make another trade using that depth.
EDIT: Forgot to answer the why. Because I could. And because my team chemistry was too good.

14-team standard scoring redraft,
Traded McGahee, Droughns and Terry Glenn
for
Tiki Barber and Kevin Jones
My team after the deal:
QB B. Favre
WR A. Bryant
WR Ro. Williams
WR B. Berrian
RB T. Barber
RB K. Jones
TE B. Watson
BN Ro. Smith
BN P. Rivers
BN C. Williams
BN D. Bledsoe
BN J. Norwood
BN T. Romo
BN P. Crayton
K J. Feely
DEF Buffalo
I did the deal because Droughns is horrible and I like KJ to bounce back facing easier defenses than he did in the first two weeks. Tiki over McGahee is a modest upgrade for what they did so far this year, but I think Tiki will be great. I wasn't happy giving up Glenn, but thought I had enough depth at WR (with Bryant at WR3) to warrant it.

Traded Droughns for Norwood. I think Norwood has tremendous upside and is much younger. I have L. Johnson, Foster and DeA Williams, J. Lewis, and Gado, so losing Droughns is nothing. (Start 2 rb each week).
Oh yeah, the Browns have one tough looking schedule this season.

Help me out for a minute, because I am having a hard time comprehending exactly what you're saying here. Are you willing to rephrase?
Simple. Each player gives up 2 to the other.Top guy on each side is a wash. The real target is the #2 guy.I agree and look for this maneuver. When it pans out in later weeks, look surprised.

I will take a shot at it, but just my interpretation.This is all made up for the example. You LOVE Gore and Stallworth and would like to add one or both to your team. You have Willis, Parker, Kjones, Housh, Roy Williams and Plax. The other owner has a stud RB, let's say it is LJ, plus Gore and Stallworth. You offer any five of your players for these three, trying to get LJ cheap and the two you want. The other guy balks, but would "consider" a Willis and Housh for Gore and Stallworth. You are happy as a lark.Another fake example. You love Antonio Bryant in dynasty and have him valued as a top WR. You offer this owner Driver and AJohnson for CJohnson and Moulds. No way is that guy going for it . But, maybe he likes AJ. You say, "aside from CJ, the only guy I would take for AJ is Bryant".
