You should allow the Commish to able to cancel trades involving their own team. You currently allow them to cancel trades with other teams. Also you can execute a trade with your own team. I think there is more of a chance for cheating with that power (ex. forcing a lopsided trade through) than being able to cancel a trade. I had an owner quit after accepting a trade with my team. When this has happened in the past between 2 other teams I have just cancelled the trade in question. Here it turns into a big pain in the neck.
Since there is no way to cancel the trade I have asked the league to veto the trade. But since the trade goes through at 4PM EDT there is only a few hours left before the trade goes through. If that happens I need to move the players back to their respective rosters manually. Not hard but still an extra step. The main problem is the draft picks. Now for the next 3 years I have to adjust the draft order manually. Plus I have to make sure that the picks in question are not involved in any trades for the next three years. That's an unfair disadvantage for those 2 teams.
Please add the cancel trade power to the Commish powers when it's involving their own team.
We will definitely take a look at this for addition to the site.
In the meantime, if this happens again, the best thing to do would be for one of the owners to drop a player involved in the trade, so that the trade gets invalidated.
As far as picks go, I'm a little confused. Can they not just trade the picks back to one another?
I solved it by joining the league under another email address. I don't like doing that but it does work. As far as the picks, the other owner quit and that is what caused the problem in the first place. It's fixed now but thanks for the response.
Going forward it would be great to have the ability to cancel a trade that is in that situation.

I can definitely see how that could pose issues, such as the one you just had. I'll be sure to bring this up at the next meeting. Thank you, George!

Im having a similar problem in my league and this is still not solved. Commish should have cancel trade option.
