Trade Veto (1 Viewer)

[pyite76]

But I need to talk some sense into a very confused/silly commish.

Commish accepts trade from his father.

Commish gives Matt Prater for Donald Brown.

Commish needs a starting RB this week.

League vote ensues, and veto is granted on a 6-1 vote (commish voted, another problem)

Commish rescinds trade, and offers a new trade of:

Matt Prater and Dustin Keller

for Donald Brown

Commish pushes this trade through, and team getting Keller immediately drops him.

I need more people of sane and sound mind and body to chime in and show how very wrong all this is.

Thanks in advance.

Its obvious that all sane and sou d mind and body people will agree with those who vetoed, but the commish doesn't seem to care what you, the league owners or anyone else thinks. In the interests of the other owners, who are obviously active, I wouldn't bail on the league now but I wouldn't be continuing after that if its a Keeper

Pick up Keller he coud be money

Hopefully you're joking, but if not: WHO TRADES FOR A KICKER? especially when there are eight guys having better seasons on the waiver wire.

If your league is small enough or rosters shallow enough, Donald Brown could be near worthless.

If he's droppable, then he's tradeable for a kicker. Why? Because someone might cut him to pick up a kicker to cover a bye. If someone would do that, then why shouldn't they be able to trade him for a kicker?

Fair enough argument, but its a 10 team league: start 2 RBs and 2 Flex (RB/WR). Brown is not worthless.Rosters are deeep 24 man rosters. Start 14.QB2 RB3 WR2 Flex1 TE1 K4 IDP

WHO WANTS TO MANAGE ALL THE OTHER ROSTERS IN A LEAGUE?

OK, I see what you did there.Seriously though, it isn't managing all other rosters, its about giving away a starting RB for a mediocre at best KICKER from a last place team to a first place team in a deep flex league.

Since it is the commish doing this the only real option is to leave the league after this season.

 

[dewmass]

To me, it's not the deal and why it was vetoed, it's more that the league vetoed it and the commish basically said FU and went ahead and pushed it through anyway. Not a league I'd want to waste my time with

 

[Red Herring]

Unless the league rules state the commish can push a trade through, it should be subject to veto again or he's breaking the rules. You have a perfectly valid complaint, not to mention a pretty strong case for collusion, which is the only reason to veto a trade anyway. Good luck getting it changed though, probably need to find a new league, or at least new commish

these threads really need to be moved to the acf.

I actually traded for a kicker once. My kicker was on bye and I dropped him early in the week to pick someone up. Later in the week I went to pick up a kicker and decided to drop my back-up QB. I noticed that the guy with the kicker who I considered the top kicker at the time needed a QB to cover a bye so I offered the back-up QB I was going to drop for his kicker and he accepted. It does sound crazy to trade for a kicker, but I can see some situations where it is reasonable.
