Team A sends: Kenny Britt, Jamaal Charles, and Chris Johnson
Team B sends: Calvin Johnson, James Starks
As the Commish, I feel that this trade is either collusion or someone just being really really dumb.
I think I will more than likely veto this. What say you ranters?
Current rosters:
Team A
Romo
Chris Johnson
Lynch
Steve Smtih
:Demaryius Thomas
Fred Davis
Jamaal Charles
Bench
Britt
Helu
Michael Bush
Vereen
T. Young
Hankerson
Team B
Roethlisberger
Shonne Green
Ike Redman
Megatron
Julio
Gronk
Antonio Brown
Bench
Ryan Mathews
Torrey Smith
Heyward-Bey
Starks
Laurent Robinson
Dustin Keller
Team B sends: Calvin Johnson, James Starks

Doesn't look that bad to me. Team B has no running backs at all and CJ + Charles could potentially both be very good this year. It's risky for B to trade a sure thing with Megatron for guys that both had bad seasons last year, but it could pay off.

I will take Britt, Charles, Johnson side

Which side do you think is getting the major win?
Posted on 9/5/12 at 11:37 pm to TigerTatorTots
Definitely the side that is getting Charles, Britt, and Chris Johnson.

I don't know if it's collusion, but I do think it's a bad trade for the side getting Megatron. CJ and CJ are both mid to late 1st round picks. Starks is rubble. So the Chris Johnson side also gets Britt and Charles for basically free.

Well that side wins, but Calvin is clearly head and shoulders the best player in the trade

Collusion is a pretty hefty accusation. It's something you may want to think twice about before quickly throwing that out there as commissioner. I'm not sure how long you've been running a league and I'm not telling you how to, but you should be pretty sure about that type of thing.
To answer your OP, no I don't think it is. Bad trade for team A? Absolutely. Getting Calvin is always a great thing, but at what cost? For team A, he's leaving himself relying on Helu, Bush, and a now injury riddled Lynch. His WRs are already pretty good, so I don't get why he'd do it.

I wouldn't be necessarily say its collusion but it's a very unfair trade. I think espn defines reason for a veto as collusion or if the commissioner thinks the trade is lop sided or unfair, which it is

I would hate to be in it if the trade went through. I'm all for trading but when some idiot is trying to give up his 1st 2nd and 6th round pick(I'm assuming), it's bullshite. Some people put too much time and money into leagues for some college football fan to frick it all up. I would veto and seriously consider booting him from the league next year. He obviously has no idea what he is doing

Good God do you know what collusion is? It's a lot different than a dumb trade. It's a dumb trade because your opinion says it is. While I agree with that opinion, it's obviously not collusion.

Makes me love my leagues even more. I mean I would laugh at the dude trading for Megatron but if he values him or he's his favorite player on his favorite team, who the hell am I to tell him otherwise?

I've vetoed 1 trade ever. I guess I just play in a competitive league without a bunch of idiots

It's not collusion.
Lopsided trade, but not collusion.
