It wasn't collusion, but the guy that traded away Dez isn't very football knowledgeable. The other guy is supposedly known for giving bad trades. First year in the league so what do I know?

Team A : Team B
Tannehill:Luck
Vereen: Richardson
McKinnon: Sproles
Sanders: Dez
Maclin: Smith Sr
Graham: Gates
"Shoelaces" Robinson: DJax
Gerhart: Palmer
Ryan: Flacco
TWill: Witten
Greene: Pitta
Garcon: Spiller

Team A receives Dez
Team B receives Garcon + Robinson

Is this trade so uneven it disrupts an otherwise legit league?

EDIT: Clarifying Denard Robinson

That's what I'm asking advice for. Me and one guy said to let it go because it wasn't collusion, but everybody is HELLA mad.

Dez is poised to carry all his owners into the playoffs

Pierre now has colt Mccoy throwing to him...and denard plays for jax and has had maybe 3 good games in his career max iirc

I wouldn't leave. I'd be hard pressed to jump up and say collusion, but it's obviously one sided.

We had a trade earlier this season. Calvin Johnson and T Williams for Asiata and Bradshaw. It was vetoed immediately.

We just had a bad trade go through but it clearly wasn't coercion

Between a 1-6 team and a 2-5 team. It was just a dumb trade that involved Peyton going for a bunch of meh RBs but the guy who gave away Peyton had Lorenzo Taliaferro and like Dexter McCluster as his starting RBs so we let it go

Thanks for the replies all. We're all hoping Mr. 5-2 (he changed his name to Public enemy #1 ) miserably fails from here on out and a lot of people are going to ask whether their trades with him seem fair. If anybody is willing to

Well the guy that would have received Bradshaw in that trade would be doing better.

Exactly. I dont get most of the "trade rape/collusion" threads with posters up in arms about unfairness. Calvin/Terrance for Bradshaw/Asiata at the time wasnt bad when Asiata was getting the touches.

I've had a guy in my league trading away injured players for pretty good starters to guys who don't know better.

Get's kind of annoying but whatever. None of my business.

See, this is a problem. The guy giving up studs because he doesn't know much about football is messing up the league's competitive balance. It takes one opportunistic smart arse to destroy another team while making his own much better because the newbie only thinks in terms of "oh last week that guy did okay, I guess I need a replacement runningback, I'll do this trade."

I'm done complaining about my own league's trade since now we have a 24hr veto period which is another all sorts of annoying. We needed this rule JUST because of THAT one guy. Ugh.
