His team is bad, but he still has a legit shot at the playoffs. Only two games out. The trade is more against me. Everyone I've asked outside of the people in the league think it's an even deal. I'm one game out of first and can afford to replace Landry with thielen on my bench. Problem is, I've got people that vote against every trade that isn't theirs. Then others get salty as fuck that I'm able to pull off a trade like this. One dude said I was trading scrubs for gurley.
I'm changing the rules next year. Since yahoo vetoes a trade with only one third votes, I'm making it commish only and going to require six votes via the message board. This league used to be impossible to make trades until two people left. It's gotten better, but any time a top place team makes a trade halfway or later in the year, it gets vetoed immediately.

Yeah, one of our former players said that he vetoes trades because he didn't make them, and since money is involved, it's the smart move. I'm always near the top so it's impossible for me to pull off blockbuster deals. These other guys only want to make trades if they clearly win the deal.

Exact reason we went to a straight commissioner veto. We have had minor gripes, but it's far better than what it was. Like yours, people vetoed because it wasn't their trade. Then the people who got vetoed got angry and they vetoed everything...the cycle continued. This year, we've had more trades than the last two combined, and all have turned out to be relatively fair for both sides.
Edited to add: We tried the vote via forum last year, and that didn't go well either, which is why we just went straight commissioner veto only.

Somehow all 3 of my teams have yet to be hit by any major injury bugs.... im probably jinxing myself saying it.
Cam Newton has been rough the last 2 weeks, but weeks 4-6 he scored 39, 32.2, and 22.7....
I would like more consistency, but those booms can save a week quite often.... Winston is also boom/bust.... 3 games over 20pts (20.5,28.4, and 32.5)... and two games in the last 3 weeks under 3 pts lol.
I figure if I can dial up the right one each week I am ok at QB.

I did the same...one league I am in you can keep 3 players and if you get them as a free agent you keep them in the 16 round. So I figured at the very least worth a stash for keeper purposes

Puckman offered me Brady and Cooks for Landry and Hill, but quickly canceled the trade and revised it to Brady, Cooks, and Garcon for Landry and McCoy. Told him if it wasn't NE bye week I would have done the first offer, but McCoy for me is untouchable.

Had an abundance of FAAB, so I grabbed him. Mainly just trying to keep away from a few of the receiver needy teams as a precaution.

I picked him up. Had a roster space. I'm in the process of trading Will Fuller for Jay Ajayi. See if this goes through.

He has 7 TD's on 13 catches. C'mon. That's not even remotely close to sustainable.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Fuller will be a good Fantasy contributor, but in that trade scenario I think Ajayi will be better down the stretch.

And the trade gets rejected. Now another player tries to rip someone off by offering Desean Jackson, Frank Gore, & Hopkins for AJ Green & Ingram. I told him not to bother, I'm not letting any trades go through.

We had a guy yesterday that has given up and wanted to firesale his team. Commissioner has basically said that trading with him is off limits now. Won't punish all of us because of it, but certainly can't trust any trades with his team now.
