Re: Fantasy Football Ruling Issue
Just to get opinions on this part of the argument:
The owner who is trying to back out of the trade has said he will likely quit if the trade is forced to go through, and the discussion came up of if people think it will be harder to get a new owner to take over a team that doesnt have a 1st round pick next year. One owner suggested giving a compensation 1st round pick to a new owner. Personally, I think this idea is BS. If we are forcing through this trade by saying it is a fair trade, then that means that the team who is giving up its 1st round pick gained enough value from the trade to make up for the loss of a 1st round pick. By giving a compensation 1st round pick it implies that the trade was unfair that you are having to institute an extra 1st round pick to make up for it. And if the trade is unfair in that way, then it should be rejected. Also, adding an extra 1st round pick hurts every team in the league other than the 2 teams involved in the trade, so it seems stupid to have to hurt all the other teams in the league because of the screw up caused by a trade between 2 teams.
