Vetoed trade

**The Bad Guy** · 09-10-2008, 07:41 PM

I'm in this league where I'm pretty much public enemy #1.

I was offered this deal today:

Larry Johnson and Santonio Holmes

for Matt Forte and Eddie Royal.

I accepted, however, the league is being a pain because of bitter managers, and people are vetoing.

Some asshole said today, basically he'll veto any deal I make because his deal got discussed for veto last year ( even though it went through).

I needed Holmes because I lost Colston today.

Thoughts?

i would have vetoed that trade as well. Its not even close to being a even trade.

I'll never veto a trade unless there is obvious collusion. That's obviously not the case here.

Me either.

We're all adults. If someone wants to make a stupid trade, go right ahead.

Are these guys friends of yours?
If not, they're probably a bunch of D-bags.
Screw 'em. Beat 'em at their own game.

Not sure what league Mr. Arrowhead plays in ..... wish he was in mine....
But that trade would be allowed in all 3 leagues I play in .... no question

Most are my friends, some are friends of friends who hate me because I draft better teams than they do.

To be honest, I'm not thrilled with getting LJ. But Holmes is the one I wanted and to get him I had to give Forte. I even think Forte will end up better than LJ.

There have been 4 vetoes so far. 1 more and it's done.

the only way this deal would make half way sense is if this is a keepers league

It is a one player keeper league.

I don't understand why this is such a lopsided deal. You saw LJ last week. You saw him last year. He's not the great back he was.

IMO you never trade 2 decent veteran players for 2 rookies. I just think when Marshall comes back that Royal wont have the success that he had last week. At best he is a 3rd wr option and Holmes is a number 2 option. Now LJ for Forte at this point is pretty even

Holmes was his #3 in a league we start 2 WRs. He has Braylon and Andre Johnson.

He wanted Forte bad over LJ.

I'd rather Forte over LJ too, I just needed Holmes since I lost Colston.

Since he had Braylon and AJ, Holmes was a luxury.

He thought he could do it since he really wanted Forte.

The only reason to veto a trade is collusion. That's why I hate leagues where there's a league vote.

Seems to me the league did you a favor..

You'd have to be a dipshit not to veto that trade. You get the better player at each position.
