I dropped every player the site would allow me to and benched the rest of my team and told them all to go frick themselves.
Tempting to do but half the league was in my wedding. I refuse to ruin friendships over fantasy football, but I think me and the other guy are owed an explanation.
All the point projections showed it was almost dead even on yahoo's site.
I think I am going to send the trade through as many times as it takes to get an explanation

My thing was when I finally heard from one guy why they vetoed it he said "im not gonna let you get that much better when I cant".
So once that was said, I realized I didnt want to play in that league anyway. I still talk to those guys and no one hates me, though I do make it a point to tell them they play fantasy like a bunch of girls.

I got the names of the people who voted against the trade. 5 people.
They all said The Wilson for McFadden was the part that made it unfair. Said I was raping the guy by giving him mcfadden for wilson.
But I was giving him a top 3 TE and a top 5 DEF and a serviceable backup wideout too in return for Wilson and Amendola (who is already hurt)

Wilson can be seen as just as much of a risk as McFadden, just in a slightly different way. Wilson has no proven production, fumble issues, and a split backfield that adds to competition. This is in no way a clear trade rape.
ETA: You shouldn't veto trades just because you think it might wind up a bad deal for one of the people. Run your own damn team.

I posted this on our league message boards in rebuttal to the reason I was given (the other guy in the trade is named Joey):
One person posted "I thought it was a viable trade."
so I posted this.
All it takes is 4 people to say no. 5 people said no. It's all good and I'm not mad at anyone, but I will offer my reasoning as to why I thought it was fair:
My main reasoning for fairness is that Wilson is in a committee RB wise and has the fumbles (his coach benched him almost all of last year because of 1 fumble) while McFadden as injury prone as he is, is the focus of his offense, however bad it may be. There is risk involved in both players. I don't agree with people calling it unfair because we basically both agreed to transfer the risks from one team to another here. Wilson has a ceiling that is much lower than McFadden's because he is not the focal point of his team's offense and is not near as talented. McFadden, when healthy, has as much potential as anyone in the league, but his floor is much lower.
I downgraded at TE and DEF in the trade (both top 5 rated at their position) while Joey upgraded substantially in those areas. He had Mike Wallace to start at his WR#2 spot so he justified losing the injury prone Amendola in the deal as well while I needed a WR2 pretty badly. Lance Moore is a fine backup for bye weeks or injuries. The DEF, WR and TE are what sealed the deal for both of us.
I took on a much worse DEF in GB and much worse TE in Fred Davis to get access to Amendola and Wilson while Joey took those players to justify giving away Amendola and taking the chance on McFadden.
I understand the other side of the argument, but I saw this as a fair trade.
TLDR I know.
