So in our league we have a blockbuster trade - on the surface it looks "fair" and no reason to veto - Peterson/T.Smith(WR/Bal) for Charles Johnson/Deion Branch and J.Stewart. Obviously the trade is about Megatron for AP. BUT the team trading away AP is 3-5 - His next best RB is now Stewart (or hillis) AND both Stewart and Johnson are on a bye along with AP - So he's not making his team any better AND all this trade accomplishes is to stack the teams roster who is getting AP - He also has Wallace/Nicks/Fitz @ WR and @ 6-2 is prime to run the table now
As Commish would you VETO this trade based upon a losing team giving a winning team a major advantage and balanced roster (and losing team has not improved their team) OR leave it as is purely because the talent in the trade itself is legit.
Roster of player (3-5) giving up AP post trade = QBs/Schaub/McCoy RB's/Jacobs/Addai/Hillis/Stewart/
I hear ya - It is horribly lopsided though to the point that one team has not improved their roster at all while the other one just jumped to the top of the rankings....It's tuff to Veto obvious stupidity - These are losing teams giving away their best rostered player and not getting any better in the process - all they did was change from having a RB1 to a WR1.....Let the feeding frenzy begin!
