I’m trading my 2,3,6,6 to cjok1051 for his 1,5,6,6.
CJ to confirm

And this is why you don't make a trade before knowing where you are picking... I will honor this rip off from over a month ago. I apologize to the entire league for my error.
So what, that is 4, 101, 140, 140 for 40, 58, 135, 135?
So, from last year's draft, that is like:
Michael Jordan, Jamario Moon, Al-Farouq Aminu and Ron Harper
for
Kevin McHale, Rajon Rondo, Raja Bell, Shane Battier
Obviously that is a little hokey since those players won't likely be the exact some picks and the 6th rounders are sort of meaningless.
That being said, that is a really terrible trade. The onus is less on you and more on the league as a whole for allowing this kind of stuff to happen. However, it was reasonably obvious where ben's pick would be and your odds... so you kind of had to understand what it would look like when you made it.
I don't like it but the league was around a long time before I ever joined it.
I thought there was supposed to be a mechanism in place to insure that lopsided trades don't happen (maybe I'm thinking of the funk52)
There is. It's called me ruling with an iron fist.
The trade is vetoed. We've already lived through what happens when Ben makes a super advantageous trade, and I can't have that happen.
This is rediculous. Either ban trades, or let them through. This sort of deal has been happening for the last 15 seasons at least. It’s nothing like my last trade that was indeed lopsided.
If you wanted to veto it it should have been done months ago as it was just as obvious then that the pick would be around 4
Yeah, I tried to make the point ben is making. The league allowed it when it got put through (our fault if we allow it), these types of trade appear to have been going on a long time and the pick positions were relatively known.
I was going out and pointing out that it was an awful deal but wasn't calling for a veto per se. If it is getting vetoed, cool with me. That wasn't my intent though.
I, personally, might have made a stink when it first got posted if I actually understood the lottery in this league. I do now, but my first time really looking at it.
