Questions
Would you allow this trade?
Standard 10 team league.

Team 1 gives up:
Bishop Sankey
Trent Richardson

Team 2 gives up:
Marshawn Lynch
Cordarrelle Patterson/Kendall Wright

Team 2 is completely out of the playoffs and is basically just trying to give someone his good players. This was the "counter offer" after they both accepted a Richardson and Colston for Marshawn Lynch and AJ Green trade that I obviously vetoed.

Part of me thinks if this was a regular trade I would possibly allow it. But knowing that this is coming literally a half hour after a stupid trade that it was obvious they're just trying to stack one guys team it makes me weary. Richardson has been terrible as usual. He literally had no yards last game....and Sankey also has not been producing much...The only plus they both have going for them is that they are their teams starters and should see most of the carries. But so far this year that has proven to not really translate into success

On the other hand, Lynch is banged up and also has a lot of tough run Ds coming up as he plays Arizona and San Fran twice down the stretch...Patterson is kind of thrown in just to make it a 2 for 2 deal

    The way I see it: Team 2 shouldn't be trading if they are completely out of the playoffs. This isn't a keeper league, and they are receiving the worse end of the deal. These teams attempted collusion once, and though this trade is "more fair" it is still one-sided.

    I'm generally on the side of "no trade should be vetoed." The exception is collusion (which they already attempted) and then when teams who are out of the playoffs and have nothing to gain attempt to trade.

    no - and add the high scorer from each week gets something to keep even the non playoff teams interested.

    Sounds like collusion / conspiracy... if so, you have to veto it. but as you know (that's why you're asking) you have to be certain. I would need more data like the make up of the rest of the teams to make sure there is no plausible rationale, like covering RB bye slots... If you haven't already, ask the Team 1 owner what his rationale for improving his team with this trade is... if he can't answer right away, then he's guilty.
