Should I overturn this trade as commissioner of my league...

Peyton Manning

For

Calvin Johnson
AJ Green
Alfred Morris
Tony Romo

I've never overturned a trade. But this.....What should I do? I don't want my league to lose integrity here.

I'm just going to lock them down. They're squirrels apparently.

And yes, it's a money league.

The rest of the league would have been ok with that bullshit trade? And it's a money league? What the ****?

Well, none of my business but in the OP you said your main concern was the league blowing up over this. You should absolutely let the other players know what's going on, and give them a say. I'll take one spot next year, don't care what it costs. My point is, you can fill 2 spots. Starting over with a new league with 2-3 teams is tougher to do.

No, I'm saying those two would've been fine with screwing over the league.

I notified all the rest of the team owners and I got their input on it as well. They weren't happy to say the least. But like I said, they're friends. All 12 of us are friends, so I can't kick them out.

It just seems like something like that would certainly make for a short-lived league. I guess if it's not one you intend to keep going, I can understand "letting it go".

I'm not trying to be a dick with this next part, but I realize this may come off that way, so I'll apologize if it does:

IMO, if it's a money league they are essentially trying to steal money then from their "friends" then......

Hey, if you all feel that way, that's all that matters. Glad you got it worked out.

I usually have 1-2 new spots come open each year, so I'll try to keep you in mind for next year if you want in.

Exactly. That's how I look at it. That said, again, you guys are all good with the terms, then that's all that matters.

Thanks. I just wanted outsiders perspective on the trade just to make sure other people felt the same as I did before I took action.

Yeah I would. Let me know and you guys can make some easy money.

Yeah, I see your point...

Yeah, I was serious when I said that's the first time I've ever read one of these threads and agreed that it should be rejected. Collusion is hard too prove, but most people aren't as dumb as these 2 window lickers.

Honestly...I would bring it up to the rest of the league and see what they want to do with them.

Last question I guess: What if they went with a trade of

Peyton Manning + Julius Thomas + Mike Wallace

for

AJ + Calvin + Morris + Romo

Would that be more fair in your opinion(s)?

To me that trade is a non-issue, but their actions prior to it would be a burned bridge.
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but you did ask.

I'm trying to decide how long to keep them on lockdown for actually. But if they do want to attempt a real trade, I feel like the one I mentioned would be acceptable.

Their second trade was them being smartasses because I denied their first attempt.
