I'm in this boat. Just need to make sure TC understand parameters for vetoing. "You could've gotten more" isn't a good reason. With varying salaries and caps and prospects in a league like this there are a lot of factors to consider other than strictly the talent involved so trades are very specific to a team's roster construction or owner's future plan. So trades should only be vetoed on what looks like extreme negligence or collusion IMO.
this thread, as I was going to start a new/similar one but this seems to fit the narrative just fine. Simply put, there needs to be a set of parameters that the TC abides by when voting on trades. Just recently, 10% of the league (3 owners) had trades vetoed because of the whims of the personalities of the TC. This, after weeks of complaining about the activity level of the league?!? "One man's trash is another man's treasure" can not be better exemplified than in the fantasy game. For GM's to have to hope and pray, sometimes after hours of work, that their deal appeases the palate of those on the TC is ludicrous and an indictment of the system. Some may call this sour grapes, call it what you will...but I can't recall a trade being vetoed where a team in cap trouble was GAINING cap space AND WINNING the return on points. That is simply a TC voting based on their opinion of the return based on personal preference, not based on whether the trade was made in good faith or whether the trade is bad for the health of the league. The power of the TC is far too subjective in this league and something needs to be addressed. To be made to craft a trade that satisfies the tastes of all 7-8 members of the TC is unrealistic and damaging to the idea of a league with variable caps, etc. It is not one-size fits all here gang. I love this league and want to see it do well, but I also value my time far too much to invest fiduciary time into something that can be undone based on the arbitrary and undefined power of a select few. Getting off my horse now, watch me stick the landing...
