[HailBlazers]

Excited to hand you your first loss @HAAK72

 

[trailblazer18]

Fournette for Ajayi? Hell no! Fournette is worth much more than Ajayi.

Please respect the process. He proposed the trade to me via private message and we went from there.

10. Don’t Veto! This isn’t technically trading advice, but probably the most important trading issue. The two most common reasons for a veto? 1) They make one team too good. 2) You don’t think the trade is even. Neither of these is an appropriate reason for a veto. It is not your job to evaluate players on behalf of another team. It’s definitely not your job to use the veto as a weapon against a good team. Vetoes are there to prevent cheating. Period.

I am not in the league but our rule in my home league is you only veto if you have some proof of collusion. Here is another great article that every fantasy player should read: http://www.espn.com/fantasy/footbal...tball-picks-sleepers-busts-trade-talk-week-11

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Sorry buddy, you don't make the rules for me. If a trade is blatantly one sided, then I think a veto is necessary. That's my opinion, above is yours.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

If they veto thats up to them. Unless they think Im cheating to make your team better I dont think they should though. Their opinions on who I should value more I dont think that should come into play. Ill be fine either way I gave my reasons for why I wanted to do it, they dont have to agree.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

You should hope it gets vetoed. You'll get better offers for Fournette.

so do you think we should get to vote on who we all start every week too? Or that we should get to vote on who people drafted and at what position? I wish you guys wouldve vetoed me picking the rams with my 3rd pick...

I respect your opinion. I just think telling me who I should value and how much I should ask for seems odd. I havent received a single trade offer so apparently no one else wanted him all that badly...

Lol, maybe, maybe not its early but people dont seem to be in a hurry to make trades. The waiver wire has been active though.

I agree with everything else you said but this sentence isn't really a good way to look at things. I haven't gotten an offer for Kamara, it doesn't mean no one wants him very badly it just means that most people probably thought I would want too much. Knowing that you are willing to give away Fournette would have gotten you a ton of offers.

 

[trailblazer18]

Vetoing trades because you think it is lopsided is ridiculous and a fantasy foul for sure - it's there to stop cheating. I'll definitely be upset if it doesn't go through.

Thats a good point.

Of course you'll be upset because your robbing him.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'll give you 3 mediocre RB's for Fournette instead of just 1.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I wont be upset either way. I get it... It looks like a bad trade for me. I was the one who offered though.

 

[trailblazer18]

It's not about who got the better deal, it's about the process. I put a message out that I was looking to trade an RB. He proposed the trade in a message. We discussed a little then made it official.

Don't be David Stern.

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Hey after a couple weeks with a guy whos been injury prone in the past I wanted to move on and I like ajayi. Why wouldnt I use that guy to go get another guy I like.

 

[hoopsjock]

Lol, maybe, maybe not its early but people dont seem to be in a hurry to make trades. The waiver wire has been active though.

Early in the season people tend to still believe in the players they drafted. There obviously becomes a point where the position a player picks doesn't matter anymore but most people just assume someone isn't willing to trade their 13th pick for the 64th pick straight up at this point. Trading a guy because of injury concerns for another guy with injury concerns is a weird thing in my opinion. It's your team though so like I said I don't like to interfere.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Please trade me Stefon Diggs for Tyler Lockett. Now!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Also need to consider that there is a lot of $$ involved in this league. So handing someone a stud player for a 64th pick player before week 3 will piss people off.

i dont have lockett lol

@TorturedBlazerFan You thought @trailblazer18 had the best team prior to this trade too, right?

Lol, I did before we played the games. I think that title goes to haak at this point...

 

[hoopsjock]

@TorturedBlazerFan I have Ajayi's backup Clement available if you are worried about his injury at all.

@trailblazer18 I have Fournette's backup Yeldon too but unfortunately he's dealing with an injury as well.

I am waiting to see if the fournette thing gets vetoed or not. Only guy I am not willing to trade is brees.

Add a piece and we can discuss. If you want to build a package around Gordon or Barkley, I'm all ears for anyone on my roster.

Bro, what're you doing....

Voted to veto. Only one more vote needed.
