Lots of variety in trade offers here.
Pending trade in our league:
R.Moss for Manning
Looks pretty even to me, but the current Manning owner also has Palmer. If I were him, I'd be pretty happy with that trade. I'm considering trying to block it
That's disgraceful. Trying to block a trade because even though it's an even deal it makes one team a lot stronger. I hope you were kidding.I'm trying to get Manning in two of my leagues. One guy wants players like Manning has 15 TDs through five games, the other I think we're fairly close....he offered Manning straight up for Tiki which would leave me a little thin at RB so I countered with Green and Tiki for Manning and Brown which he flinched at.
Think I pushed my luck.
Did not know it was "disgraceful" to try to win my fantasy league by not wanting one owner's team to get too stacked.Thanks for putting me in my place
Well, imo it is disgraceful if you block a trade for that sole reason alone when you believe the trade itself to be fair.For example, if one team loses a starting RB for the year, and another team loses a starting WR, would you veto a RB for WR trade between these 2 teams to keep them "weak"...even if it is a fair offer?
If that is the case, why have trades at all?
In your example, I would not block the trade. In the Moss for Manning example, I might consider blocking it since the owner with Manning also has Palmer, therefore, his team will be noticeably better with Moss on it. If the Manning owner had, say, Aaron Brooks, I'd not consider blocking the trade as he will have a considerable drop-off in QB production in exchange for Moss. That would make the trade more even (looking at "end state" rosters of the two owners) . With Palmer waiting in the wings, the trade is lobsided in favor of the current Manning owner, imo, hence I said I was "considering" blocking it. BTW, enough owners in the league must have felt the same as me as the trade was blocked....
