A very bad trade when changing from 1QB to 2QB league

[ravn88]

So this is the league from my 2. Team in Sig.
I belive Im the only one who has played in a 2 QB/ SF League.

So a trade just went down between a "rebuilding" team and the contender (who is commish)

The rebuilding team has some pieces, like 4nette, Gurley, Golladay, Parker, Kelce and Andrews. But no starting QBs, he just cut Winston prior to that trade.

Rebuilding team gives:
1.03 3.03 and his 2021 1sts. Likely Lawrence/Fields

Contender gives:
2 2021 1sts. Problably Late. Jonnu Smith
1st, 2nd, 3th 2022

This leaves Keenum and Mariota as the only 2 QBs on the rebuilding team. And one Late 2nd.
To me it seems like they dont know the value of QBs.

Would you say anything or just let that one team be bad for a long time and the other become a juggernaut for a long time. ?

Im not talking about Collusion, because I dont think they Know how bad it is.

That trade doesn't make any sense. Loading up for the 2022 draft? If that isn't collusion then one guy doesn't understand dynasty football at all. I would be pissed if I were in that league. There's winning a deal, and then there is absolutely fleecing a guy. I would have to say something

[Jigga94]

Yeah that's a pathetic trade. He's basically kicking the picks down the road, but also getting rid of his early ones in exchange for later picks. 0 QB and he won't be able to draft any... He will certainly lose every single game played

[Ray Finkle]

That trade sure does have an odor. Why would a not so good team swap a bunch of picks with a good team? The fact that the good team is the commish is concerning as well. He should stay away from lopsided trades like this.

[abloom]

Obviously collusion. Leave the league.

[Kmani6]

I was expecting to see a much different trade after reading your post. I’m not sure what that even is. I would just leave the league

[FantasyFreak]

The commish is clearly not trustworthy. His job when transitioning the format like this is to make sure everyone is aware of the values, for the good of the league. I would say my piece, make it public so the rest of the league understands this, and if it isn't reversed, leave the league.

[Fins1354]

I think you're being too kind saying it isn't collusion.

[Csl312]

I fail to see a scenario where this trade makes sense. Why basically trade out of this year and almost definitely down next year to pick up a first second and third in 2 years? I can't think of league settings that would justify this trade.

[FantasyFreak]

The sad thing is, this is a deal that a commish would need to look into heavily and meticulously......except it's the commish involved. He's a bad commish, whatever way you slice it.

[ravn88]

Thanks for all the answers.

I was expecting y'all to say Something like. This is just a bad trade.
I will speak my mind.

Yes. I know commissioners want to win just as much as anyone else, but they need to have the overall good of the league in mind too.

This is clearly not that case. The deal cannot be defended any other way than a huge win for the commish. It would be one thing if it involved relevant players as then it can be argued that their values change. But it doesnt.

[Hottoddies]

I would first try to DM the commissioner to talk him into reversing this deal for the good of the league before airing it out in public. You may have more success dealing with this issue privately so he doesn't feel cornered into defending his position. However, failing that, you need to bring this to the public arena.

[Ice]

I can't even believe you could get guys to agree to go to a SF without a complete new draft.

On the surface the Commish should throw himself out of the league but you should talk privately first to hear the justification.

I would have left the league prior to going to a SF without a new draft. SF is a completely different game.

Good Luck but this one smells really bad.

[Dirty Mike&the Boys]

As a Commissioner I would never get involved in a trade like that, because its shady....The trade was flat out unhealthy for the league. If the rebuilding owner quits, who is going to want to pay to take over that dumpster fire?

You should consult with other league members, and ask that it be brought to a vote.

The Commissioner and the other owner don't get to vote on the trade, if 50% or greater of the league votes against it, then the trade gets reversed. Just my .2.
