I traded Tomlinson for James, Gates, and Palmer.
That guy got cleaned out. How did that not get vetoed?

Sharks that own LT aren't trading him away.
Sharks that don't own LT are trying to swing a trade to get him.

Do you know if the LT owner shopped him or was approached? Seems to me that you must have a serious USC homer in that league.

Because you don't veto a trade you don't agree with. Here is a little something for you to consider. Insert Shaun Alexander for LT into above and pretend it's week 3 in 2006. Who got cleaned out by season's end?

that's beyond horrible unless you get huge bonus pts for getting stuffed at the goal line.

The owner receiving LT (joining PManning) is also the commish. I'm the co-commish. I teased him about the trade but thought about it a little more. Harrison is still likely a top 10 WR this year. Maroney is at least a top 20 RB. Romo *could* end up a top 5 QB. There's no guarantee that LT is going to do better, but most people think he will (including me). Personally, I think it's a bad trade for the guy giving up LT but I don't know that it should be vetoed since I don't believe the first owner (giving up LT) was trying to unbalance the league. He needed another good WR (just lost AJohnson) though he had TO already, he had little else. He has MJD, JLewis, and LJordan for RBs so he had depth there. I *do* think the owner who got LT is getting a steal and I'm terrified to play him now. Manning and LT? Fuuuuuddddgggee. But, I'm hoping SJAX will turn it around soon and start doing better at that time, too.

Because you only veto trades that are based on collusion.
I have LT along with Portis and Peterson. At receiver I have Harrison, A. Johnson, L. Evans as my top 3 drafted .... as hurting as i am right now I wouldn't even consider a trade like that for a second .... wouldn't even read the offer twice.
Is he an alcoholic, stoner, or just an idiot??????

So? Good for you. There's a lot of idiots out there. Though I wouldn't even say that was a terrible trade (and I own LT as well). Just because somebody makes a trade that YOU wouldn't make doesn't mean it should be vetoed. This is why I hate leagues where the league can vote on trade approvals. Just get a competent commish and be done with it.

LT owner here..I was offered TO and Addai after week #1. I thought about it, but I'm 2-0 w/LT doing squat and i'm not panicing yet. LT is going to shred the pack this week

Wow. As an LT owner, this is the one trade I'd consider out of all these posted here, assuming other factors involved. (I already have Brady and Gates so no needs there...)Personally I'm with the camp that believes LT will come back around, hopefully starting this week.

After week one I offered LT and Welker for Addai and CJ or Holt. He didn't bite.

I offered the LT owner the choice of two between Thomas Jones, Adrian Peterson, and Jamal Lewis and his choice of one Galloway, Cotchery, and Driver for LT, Eric Johnson, and Hank Baskett. He's seriously considering because he could use RB depth and a #2 WR.

nobody in their right mind would trade LT now. why trade him after probably 2 of the worst games he'll have all season? that's like trading a stock at it's lowest point right before it goes through the roof.

Sometimes the best deals are the ones that never happen. I think you'll end up dancing in the street having LT for the rest of the year.

Why is that wrong? You don't allow stupid trades to take place in your league? If there is some moron that is constantly making idiotic trades then you need to A) be the first to take advantage of him and B) not invite him back next year. This whole veto something to protect you from yourself is downright insulting. What if LT doesn't turn it around? Will the person who tried to get rid of him early in the year still look like an idiot? Some people think LT will rebound to perform like he did last season and others think they can sell him right now for more than he's worth. Who are you to impose YOUR values onto other owners?

I have no problem with that deal not going down. I'm 2-0 and my team is in good shape.

Ward had what 90 rush yards? LT will be fine.

If I had LT I would keep him! Alot of RB's are starting out slow, seems alot of rushing DT's are good this year but Bengals/Browns that score was unreal tells ya something. After week 4 gets easy a bit for LT.gman06 said:

I just got Marc Bulger, Reggie Bush, Willis Mcgahee, Donald Driver, and an 08 1st for LT, Brodie Croyle, Warrick Dunn, and Muhsin Muhammad a few days ago. I feel pretty comfortable with that value

I meant in regard to touchdowns.

Westbrook. 4.3 is probably about right against this defense, but the Pack also had to be worried about the Eagles passing game ( or thought they did in week 1 ).Ward. No game tape. They had no idea how to approach preparing for this guy ( see Deshawn Wynn ). This happens almost every time a backup RB with even mediocre talent starts his first game. Admittedly I don't know much about Ward, but the little amount that I've seen didn't make him look like the next MJD. He'll never see 6.0 again. The pack **should** do the same thing the Pats did, because it works. Harp on LT and Gates and make Rivers beat them, which he doesn't seem like he can right now. LT will improve off of his last couple of performances, and probably get a TD somehow, but I'd put his YPC around 3 - 3.5, putting him around 70-80 on the day.If he doesn't break 100, I'd be concerned, yes. Hell, I'm concerned now, but not because of LT's ability, but because right now the Pats have shown the entire league how to shut down this offense. Until Rivers, Vincent, and crew can start scaring defenses, LT's in for some tough games. KC in week 4 looks promising, but Denver in 5 and Oak in 6 are a little in the air. It really could be week 8 in Houston before we see his first monster game.That said, you still don't trade him, because there is **no way** you're getting your money's worth.Derrick Ward: 15/90, 6.0 ypcBrian Westbrook: 20/85, 4.3 ypcNot exactly stout against the run.

Hear Hear! It is nobody's business to veto a trade that they don't think is a good trade. It's between the two owners making the trade. The ONLY time a trade should be vetoed is when it is demonstrably collusion - and this should be decided upon by a competent commissioner, not majority vote of the league.I've seen plenty of 'unfair' trades vetoed that would have resulted in the so-called loser coming off far better. If someone is acting on a hunch, who are you to stop it? NOBODY can predict the future, so don't even try. Only collusion is vetoed (by the commish) in my league.

The LT owner should be slapped in he makes that trade. That said, if he's actually considering it then you should sweeten the pot and get that steal done with before LT has a regular game and the owner comes to his senses. And congratulations if you actually pull it off!!How do you sleep at night?

If the commissioner in that league is worth anything, he vetoes that trade without discussion.The LT owner should be slapped in he makes that trade.

Depends on the league. That is the prevailing "wisdom" on these boards, but not every league has 100% competent owners.A couple of hideous trades can ruin a dynasty league.

How would a trade of LT and Shaun Alexander for Antwan Randle-El and Greg Jennings look in a standard scoring league? I don't care what the team circumstances are, that cannot be allowed. But, hey, maybe the LT owner had Lamont Jordan and Caddilac, but needed WRs... and LT + Alexander are over the hill.
ANY trade can be justified, however moronic the logic. And collusion CANNOT be proven unless somebody admits it.
It seems to me that the "no veto unless collusion" group is sitting on an extremely high horse.
To each his own, as long as all the owners are on the same page concerning the rules.

In my dynasty league today my team got a lot younger. I traded a boatload to get LT on my squad.
I gave Portis,Lewis,Fitzgerald and Dunn and..
I received LT,Turner,Coles,and a throw in player that I waived and picked up Morris to back up Morency.
My new starting lineup this week is going to be..
Palmer,Carson QB CIN
Tomlinson,LaDainian RB SD
Peterson,Adrian RB MIN
Owens,Terrell WR DAL
Johnson,Calvin WR DET
Shockey,Jeremy UT NYG
Gates,Antonio TE SD
Vinatieri,Adam PK IND
Patterson,Mike DL PHI
Williams,Kevin DL MIN
Ruud,Barrett LB TB
McIntosh,Roger LB WAS
Winfield,Antoine DB MIN
Taylor,Sean DB WAS
It was alot to give up to get LT on my team but I feel good about it.

Are you kidding??!! That's a steal.Keep in mind that Turner could easily be a top 8 RB next year when he's starting for the Packers! You made out like a bandit!

Your over rating the Packers defense and underestimating LT. LT returns to form this week.

Like I said, I feel good about it. It was however tough to give up crazy depth at RB and a WR like Fitz. Ive essentially handed over both my RB2 and WR2 spots to Rookies.
