In my league my brothers team already has julio, AP, McCoy

Other team has Dez (inj), Hyde, Lynch

My bro picked up Terrance Williams off of the wire last week. He then convinces the other guy to trade lynch for williams to make up for the Dez injury. Are we wrong for vetoing for the sake of the league.

Yes. You guys are absolutely wrong. That is not collusion. You are not fortune tellers. It is entirely possible that Williams out scores Lynch. Hell he scored more than double the points of Lynch today. I would be absolutely pissed if I were one of those traders. Heck the guy getting Lynch may have changed his mind after today if Romo didn't get hurt.

You don't veto because someone is an idiot.

You hurt your league by doing this. If I were in it I wouldn't come back after this season.

A waiver wire WR is worth a 1st round RB.

Said no one ever.

I am almost always against a veto unless there is collusion involved. However, I am torn here because of how incredibly stupid this trade is. The fact that your brother has other great players on his team already is irrelevant. But at some point, the competitive spirit of the league needs to be protected, in my opinion.

LOL at the "must be collusion to veto" crowd

Are you going to go through people's texts to prove something is collusion? Or just never veto anything?

This is borderline because Williams is a bit of an unknown and has potential...but substitute Williams for Cole Beasley or Allen Hurns and that trade needs to be vetoed. Extremely lopsided trades hurt the league as a whole.

I don't care if a kicker was traded for Lynch...if there is no collusion, a trade should never be vetoed. Let the shitty manager learn from his mistakes.

It is not the leagues job to determine whether or not a trade should be made or not, except in the case of collusion. That's a chicken shite move by you and the rest of the league imo.

Yes. You are wrong. Invoking "the sake of the league" does not make your cause more righteous.

Williams has more fantasy points through two games than Lynch.

When Chip Kelly shipped Foles to the Rams for Bradford, no one vetoed that even though it was obviously insane.

You thinking that you know more than the team who wants Williams is what is wrong. Veto power was never intended to allow the league to crowd manage individual teams.
