Trades that are completely one-sided (1 Viewer)

[Clifford]

I don't play in leagues with votes on trades and that's how I prefer it, but a trade went down between the commish and another player, and it will make the commish's team way stronger and the other team way weaker.

Commish gets

McFadden

Spiller

other team gets

DeMarco Murray

Brandon LaFell

would any of you raise an issue with this or just accept it as part of playing in a league where there are no votes on trades? Do any of you find this to be a fair trade?

 

[comfortably numb]

This isn't even a bad trade.

Move along

Protesting trades is the stupidest thing in the world. It just makes you look like a crybaby #####.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

How is that trade controversial at all?

 

[Clifford]

OK, just seems essentially like Murray for Spiller and McFadden since Lafell has been a nonfactor for a few games, but guess I am off on this one. Thanks for feedback.

My god, things never change.

I always come into these threads expecting Foster, Matt Ryan, Gronkowski, Graham, Charles, McCoy, Calvin Johnson, Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Aaron Rodgers for Jeff Cumberland.

And am terribly underwhelmed.

McFadden has sucked. Spiller has been injured.

Murray has sucked. Lafell hasn't been great, but not sure what people expected.

Commish is assuming that McFadden will get better and that Spiller will heal.

Other guy is betting that Murray will ultimately be the best RB.

I would prefer to be on the commish's side, but this is not that outrageous.

In what game has McFadden been a factor?edit: ok, 1 game he was, but he still seems very risky.

In what game has McFadden been a factor?

Weeks 1 and 3?

Well, ok, I'll give you week 1, too. My bad.

So the commish in this league is purposely tanking?

 

[Clifford]

Really surprised that people are giving up on McFadden despite team considering giving up on ZBS.

Generally speaking, even if we *were* talking about a one-sided trade (which your trade isn't), I wouldn't have a problem with it, provided there isn't any evidence of collusion. Sometimes people do stupid or uninformed things, and it alters the competitive balance of the league more when you force them not to make stupid mistakes.

Seems every week there's a thread like this in the SP. First, wrong place for it.Second, the response is always the same - some discussion of the trade itself (which usually isn't horrible) and most people saying they'd never veto a trade. Hypothetically, if it were a horrible trade - say - dynasty Luck, T-Rich, Gronk for Peyton, Hillis, and Watson; it doesn't seem most here would support a veto anyway.
