Trades

[PntherPryd]

Trades are a great part of Fantasy Football but everybody needs to know the rules and how trades operate.

You can submit a trade offer to anyone in your conference by going to "For Owners" then "Trades". Before submitting please thoroughly research and avoid wasting other owner's time. Once a trade is accepted, Here are the official rules;

Trades Setup

When An Owner Accepts A Trade: The trade is subject to a league-wide vote for 2 days.

Display Trade Comments To All Owners? Yes

Allow Trades That Would Create Invalid Rosters To Go Through? Yes

When A Trade Causes An Invalid Roster, Allow Owner To Submit Lineup? No

8.Trades offered on the web site are valid until revoked or rejected. 9.Trades must be executed on the web site to be official. 10. Trades will be posted and subject to review and a vote. Six votes to reject the trade will kill the deal.

Note; regarding trade votes. As soon as we have our first accepted trade I will find out if the poll will post automatically or if a commish will have to post it themselves. Since trades aren't final until being subject to a league-wide vote for two days, I would advise notifying the commissioner asap of any trades that are accepted. The sooner he knows, the sooner we can get the poll up the sooner we can get the players on the correct roster.

BTW, the "trade" of kickers between Dead Rabbits and Available was actually an agreed upon switch that happened during the jr draft. The voting period for that is waived as the commissioner agreed to swap those players to avoid reverting draft picks at end of draft.

I can't help but notice that 5 people have voted against the trade between Silas and myself. (poll is on front page of site)

It only takes 6 to put the kabosh on the trade so I'm curious what the reasons are? I thought it was a pretty fair deal <shrugs>? Who do you think is getting the better end of the deal? It won't bother me if it doesn't go through but a "no" vote is a powerful tool that should not be used lightly. It is a public vote and you should be able to defend your no vote to the two guys who spent their time working out the deal.

PntherPryd LandSharks gave up:

Jones, Julius SEA RB

Washington, Nate TEN WR

Silas gave up:

Sproles, Darren SDC RB

White, Roddy ATL WR

Look at where they were drafted...and that's the weight people put on players.

Your players were drafted 11th round and 16th round....you're trying to get a 10th round pick who just had Edge added to the rotation and a 2nd round pick out of it. Nate is even banged up a little with a hamstring thing and they face off against Pitt to start. I just didn't see it as being all that balanced of a trade. That's my defense of my no vote.

Make the Roddy swapout w/ Clinton Portis or Willie Parker...and it's more balanced. JMO

I don't see that trade up, what gives?

yeah, you're right. but Julius is still the starter in an offense that is going to run more and Nate being banged up caused him to drop so low, he'll be back in week 2 or 3 and be a big part of that offense. White holding out could cut back on his production and increase the looks to Jenkins. I loaded up on starting running backs to give me some ammo in trades so I'll go back to the drawing board.

Like I said, I'm fine with the trade not going through and at least we know the system of checks/balances works.

it was on the front page but just got the 6th no vote so I rejected it in the commissioner panel so maybe it is gone.

if not check out what features you have set to appear on your home screen and make sure it allows "new league polls".

[R0CKnR0LLA]

OK, added another 'no' for good measure. That was literally the most unbalanced trade I've ever seen out of doing roughly 40 different fantasy leagues over the last few years.

[PntherPryd]

Apparently the site did not take my rejection of the trade and when I deleted the poll somehow it pushed the trade through. but i just went back in and moved the players back where they are supposed to be.

I'll try it again with Clinton Portis instead of Jones and see if it will fly with you.

[RedMage138]

Yeah with Portis that trade is fair, without Portis thats just stacking the your team

[Sultan33g]

im 28..lol

[g5jamz]

Just worried we might have some really young players...not that there's anything wrong with that. Just that some might be a tad naive.
