I agree that its a terrible system

so you don't even notify the rest of the league when "gentleman agreements" happen, keep it shut til the draft?Dynasty n00b wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 7:53 am Our current rules are that we are allowed to make offseason "gentleman's agreement" trades and they get reported at the rookie draft and become official.
No I did not.
Sorry i was in the process of writing that when you posted. Didnt see it until after

If the agreement is for Baker & two thirds, and you didn't specify what year those thirds are, I'd say that you have it well within your right to collect on this trade and get a 2020 and 2021 third.
You made a legal and binding trade; the other offered two thirds, which he does not have. It's up to him to make it right (and @dlf_mikeh gave a resolution; alternatively, the two of you could agree to, say, a 2nd in 2020). But, HE needs to correct it, not you. And backing out of the trade is not an acceptable correction.
I should have continued on with my comment. I'm simply saying to move on because I'm assuming its 1) going to be incredibly aggrivating, 2) the end result will be "oh well nothing we can do", 3) the guy wants to stay in the leagueDynasty n00b wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 9:11 am So far everyone is saying to move on and im alittle suprise. I would this someones word shouldnt be so easy to go back on, system or no system.
I feel like he's using not having the picks to get out of the trade but the real reason is that Bakers value has skyrocketed.
Does anyone think i should say if he doesnt have the picks i want Baker straight up for Arod?
Yes, I would take 1 third or no thirds if I was in a rebuild. Get Baker.Dynasty n00b wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 9:11 am So far everyone is saying to move on and im alittle suprise. I would this someones word shouldnt be so easy to go back on, system or no system.

Find a better league that plays on a platform meant for dynasty, so something like this will never happen again.Dynasty n00b wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 7:53 am I'm in a 10 team dynasty league that is currently on a platform that does not support offseason trading (ive been told we are moving to a new platform next season)
Our current rules are that we are allowed to make offseason "gentleman's agreement" trades and they get reported at the rookie draft and become official.
Earlier in the off-season i agree to a trade where I gave Aaron Rodgers and got Baker + 2 3rd picks.
(This took place prior to the Browns getting OBJ)
Fast forward a month or so and the other owner messages me to say that he messed up and didnt realize he doesnt actually have any picks this year but we will figure something out.
I message him today in an attempt to figure it out as the rookie draft is approaching and he responds had he messed up and didnt keep track well enough to hes just disreguarding the trade.
Where do I go from here? I'm in a rebuild and still want Baker. Do I try to force the issue or just chalk it up to a stupid system and move on?

that's even more stupid than being on a platform that doesn't allow off season trades. however, it would explain why you possibly couldn't keep track of his picks (and that's why the system is stupid).
i'd ask for a third this draft and a 2020 third if possible, to keep the deal on.
regardless, move on - to another league.
