I wouldn't pay much attention to the "no veto unless collusion" crowd. Most of those people are so philosophically biased that they aren't able to put themselves in your shoes...
In order to comment, I'd need to know a few more things:
1) Is this a money league or free league?
2) Does your league have a veto system? If so, what it is?
3) Have any trades in your league been vetoed this year?
4) Do you suspect collusion is possible, or just a GM making a bad trade?
You dont think your example is why you shouldn't try to use your own player value to judge a trade? Read it four times now. Still feel the same.
Bahahaha! Got it in the fifth read. It was so outlandish my mind wouldn’t go there.
