Our league is currently bickering over a trade involving Leveon Bell for Adrian Peterson. Peterson owner that would be getting Bell is throwing a shitfit because we are voting to approve or disapprove. Would y’all allow it?

You think there is collusion after week 1?

You dont veto a trade just because you dont like it.

If both teams agreed and think it will help their team, and neither was tricked or misled, you let the trade go through.

Vetoing trades just because you don't like them is bush league.

I agree, lots of the other teams don't. Just wanted the opinion of the Fantasy Board.

Agree with the others. You veto a trade for collusion (cheating) only. Just because you disagree doesn't mean you should veto it.

If they want to get petty about it, just have both owners explain their reasoning. If either owner can't come up with an answer (even a dumb one), then maybe you have a discussion. But if both owners can explain why they want the trade, it's fine.

It seems pretty obvious to me - one owner is worried about bell losing his job and wants guaranteed production from a guy who looked great in week 1.

The other is willing to take the risk of taking a player who hasn't shown up for his team yet but has huge upside.

Are you in the same league as the other person that’s talking about a Peterson/Bell trade?
