It all depends on needs for the teams. If it truly makes both teams lineups better, than you have to let it go through.

I mean if he has Melo, Durant, and Lebron, and one is sitting on his bench cause he can't start him, then that owner is happy just getting anything for him.

But basketball usually doesn't have these issues arise as much as football or baseball.

Thanks for the input. It's a fair trade in my eyes; when I used the analysis tool it showed both teams getting better.

Also...I should point out that the league commissioner changed the league settings after this trade went through so he can veto it. The league was set for teams to have to vote, and he switched the setting after seeing this trade.

its fair lebron and parker 1 and 2 in mvp race and hickson is a solid fill-in

Yeah...they're not allowing it. Basically the commissioner and everyone else in the league are buddies. They are crying to each other and the commissioner about it so he vetoed it.

Funny thing is, I had the last pick in the draft, wasted my first pick on Bynum (thinking he would return by January before re-injuring his dumbass bowling) and I am still in first place. Theyre scared.

I told them I am going to win all their money and send them a video of me passing it out to bums on skid row. Here's some advice, never play fantasy with OC frat boys.

The way lebron is playing it might be unfair. But three players for one superstar seems fair.

The trade analysis tool showed his team getting 60% better all around...Mine got 30% better.

it should be auto vetoed. Something people don't understand is, one team has to drop 2 players for the deal to go through

Right...But he has some crappy players on his squad that he would drop for Hickson and Peace. And that would improve his squad.

Team 1
Lebron James

Team 2
Tony Parker
JJ Hickson
Metta World Peace

it depends on who hickson and Parker are replacing after the nig down grade at SF with Lebron for MWP - if the side getting those two is a bad team and both those guys wind up being upgrades it may be an Okay trade, and probably not vetoed, but it really isnt a good trade.

It also depends on your league, If your in a 10 team league guys like hickson and MWP dont look as valuable if you are in a 16 team league

Robber · 02-27-13, 11:49 PM

Unfair but I wouldn't block it if I were commish

EmpireMaker · 02-28-13, 12:09 AM

It's a crappy trade, wouldn't want to drop anyone for Meta

dynamite140 · 02-28-13, 12:12 AM

What kind of silly trade is that

Grits n' Gravy · 02-28-13, 12:53 AM

About as fair as John Lackey's Boston contract.

me-first · 02-28-13, 04:33 AM

yeah, can't really say without seeing the rosters..

dudekid · 02-28-13, 08:04 AM

who are the other small forwards on the team giving up lebron? i would hope he has some great second options considering now it would be going from lebron james to metta world peace...

Agreed, both rosters would have to be known to truly determine if it's fair. There's a lot more that plays into trades, particularly how/if it helps a person's lineup.

convick · 02-28-13, 10:17 AM

Crappy trade, Metta World just a throw-in that is available as a FA in many leagues. Id cut him, so in effect I see this trade as a 2 for 1, and its not worth it to me with just Hickson and Parker. Id accept it for sure if I was the Parker/Hickson owner but I see it as bad deal for person trading Lebron away.

BigSpoon · 02-28-13, 01:41 PM

Does not sound fair to me either tbh. The best or 2nd best fantasy player for Parker and two nearly replacement level throw ins is not fair value.

riffraff24 · 02-28-13, 01:53 PM

Thanks guys. I modified the trade and it was STILL vetoed.

Offered Parker, Brandon Jennings, and JJ Hickson.

I gave up on trying to get LBJ. I will win this league regardless and laugh at them all!!!

There is nothing wrong with that trade

I know. And like I said numerous times, both teams got better in both proposed trades... The fact that they instantly vetoed the last offer is proof they are full of shit.

Otters27 · 02-28-13, 06:48 PM

Fantasy leaugue often object to teams getting top teir players.
