Is this trade vetoable?

I have never vetoed a trade during my 4 years as league commissioner. However, this trade appears patently unfair. I want to see what you guys think.
Team A gets:
Maurice Jones-Drew
Team B gets:
Josh Freeman
Maurice Morris
Team B already has Joe Flacco and Jay Cutler. While neither of those QBs are great, Josh Freeman is not much of an upgrade. Furthermore, team b is 0-7 and team a is 3-4.
Thoughts?

Any other opinions?
I know typically this board is anti-veto.

Freeman sucks and Maurice Morris has two more weeks of utility at the most. Horrible trade, I'd veto the shite out of it.
I say that as in our league we do manager review and need a majority of vetos to cancel a trade.

That seems to be a rare example of a vetoable trade. No possible benefit to team b, other than helping out team a.

Who cares? Look at the points those guys have earned. Probably pretty close. Who cares if they are up to something, they both suck apparently. What's wrong with you people?

The points are even. However, Team B has no use for another QB since he already has Cutler and Flacco. Cutler is probably a better play than Freeman anyway.
Additionally, Team B's other backs are Monterio Hardesty and Beanie Wells. He's trading arguably his best back for a QB that he may never use.

Nah, I think Best is done for the year.

I think he comes back after the bye. I have Morris right now and he is quite mediocre. I'm considering picking up Keiland in the meantime as I'm sure one of them is going to emerge as the lead back in the long shot he doesn't return.

Even if Best is out for the year, I'm not sure that changes my opinion that the trade should be vetoed 
Am i wrong?

i wouldnt like that deal to go down in my league
Posted on 10/26/11 at 3:27 pm to Boosh Dag
That's actually true. MJD is a top 10 RB; Morris hardly ranks on the scale of usefulness even if he's only sharing the load with Williams.
Josh Freeman is a throwaway that hardly belongs on a roster.

I wouldn't like that deal going on in my league either.
Keeper or non-keeper?
Now if this were a keeper league, while I still wouldn't do that in a million years, put this season aside, I can at least "understand" the deal. I use that term loosely.

i don't like to veto trades, but this is a good point.
Something ain't right with this trade
