I tried to trade Gordon for Julio...

actually, Julio was offered to me. And the league Vetoed it. I had also just made a trade for Mccoy, giving up Edelman & Vereen.
Do you guys think the league was right in vetoing the trade??? I'm in 7th, top 6 get in playoffs.

The only reason to ever veto is obvious collusion. So no.

there are a lot of different opinions on trade vetoing. im still not sure where i stand, so i guess i just view it case by case.
if i was in your league and someone tried that trade, i would be fricking pissed. it makes no sense to make that trade now. you are getting julio for free for 2 weeks. i would not allow that trade to go through until at least gordon was confirmed back and playing. even then i would think it was an awful trade, but wouldnt have much to bitch about.

bullshite veto. Not collusion and not obviously horribly uneven. That isn't a league that I would stay in for next year if that stands.

Have you seen Julio's stats the past 5 weeks? Since his big game against TB: 8.2, 10.5, 6.8, 5.6, 5.8. Falcons are having problems.

FWIW, when I trade, I usually throw in an extra ok player. So like Gordon/rb3-4 for Julio/rb3-4... or something like that. I've found leagues more likely to veto 1 for 1 trades... idk. just my experience

All of that is based off of your opinion of the trade. You could easily be wrong, and the trade could easily end up working out for both people. You would have no right to be pissed about that trade. It is an abuse of the veto function to try to run other people's teams by vetoing them.

There are two possibilities here. One, you're not giving us the whole story. Why would this trade be vetoed? Maybe if the team offering you Julio is 1-8 and has no other WRs and is owned by your significant other. Second option, your league is populated by haters.

he is giving OP a top 15 WR for absolutely nothing for 2 weeks. that sounds like collusion to me. if im in the league, that's my argument.
how are you going to prove collusion ever? if they offered this trade 2 weeks ago, is it collusion? 3 weeks ago? when is it getting vetoed?

No collusion, no veto.

Not even close. Boom already gave the reason why that trade might be a good idea depending on their situations and their views. Your position is based solely off the idea that you think you know better than everyone else. You don't. Your position is chicken shite.

He is selling on the Falcons shitty offense and betting on Gordon for the latter part of the season.
ETA: Not even remotely close to looking like collusion.

I didn't want to give to much info to cloud up the question...
Julio owner is in first and has Evans to fill roster spot until Gordon comes in at week 12...he is taking the risk and playing for the playoffs and winning it all!
Me, Gordon owner is needing to win NOW to get into the playoffs and am taking a somewhat risk on Julio in returning to form. I only did both of these trades knowing I had my butt covered...Mccoy to replace Vereen, and Julio to replace edelman...now I have a huge void for 1 week until Allen comes off his bye and Gordon in week 12.
Yeh, I'm pissed.

He is offering a good wr on a team with a failing offensive line that might have difficulty passing the ball for a wr who has proven to be one of the best players in the game in the past who might be getting hot just in time for the playoffs. The trade off is that the team that is getting gordon is setting up to try to win in the playoffs, and the team getting Julio is trying to win now.
And it doesn't even matter if you disagree with all of this. The fact that things could be seen like this proves that there is a valid reason to make the trade, and it is their right to run their own teams how they think is for the best.

Feel free to link this thread to your league so we can call them a bunch of pussies.

also, today was our trade deadline!

Nobody wants to face him in the final... wrong to veto IMO
