Is this collusion?
This is a scenario that hasn’t happened but I was just wondering. So in a league that uses waivers in between weeks, let’s say...
Team X has 12th priority. He tells team Y with 2nd priority that if he claims a particular player then he will trade them whatever for that player.
Is that collusion?
Typically if I second guess myself in a moral dilemma, I already know the answer. This scenario doesn’t seem all that greasy to me though.

Re: Is this this collusion?
I don't think this is collusion.
Re: Is this this collusion?
that's not collusion at all. It's a trade, team X is trading something to team Y for a player they can acquire.

Re: Is this this collusion?
Doesn't sound like collusion. Any team could make a better offer to team Y.
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.
Re: Is this this collusion?
That's a trade pending he obtains the player. There's nothing wrong with that.

Re: Is this this collusion?
Ultimately he's trading for the waiver slot.. Not collusion in my opinion

Re: Is this this collusion?
In some of the leagues I'm in teams with high waiver priorities will advertise them to see if someone will trade for a player they can pick. As long as there is no attempt to "game" the system there's no reason a team with a high waiver priority can't see if there's a player someone wants that they can claim and trade to that team

Re: Is this this collusion?
Nothing wrong with it as long as it's straightforward I'll give you "y" if you pick up "x". I think more teams should aggressively be doing this.
I've used it both ways putting my #1 waiver on the block to add draft picks or youth when I was rebuilding and buying the #1 waiver when I was contending. When you have waivers by inverse order, sometimes you have to get creative to get that FA you think will complete your team.

Re: Is this this collusion?
Doesn't seem like collusion at all. Also, are you able to trade your waiver/claim?

Re: Is this this collusion?
I don't see it as collusion, actually that's a fairly common conversation for people who want guys and know they won't get them. To me it's proper use of Waiver assets, grabbing guys that were once useless and making a profit.

Re: Is this this collusion?
Not at all, that's trading for the waiver spot. I actually have that listed right in the constitution of my league. I've done it many times before and have advertised the top waiver spot when I had it.
