“Dear Vito, Sonny, Fredo & Michael,
Need some Fantasy Cops help!
A trade was completed 2 weeks ago. Player A traded Rico Dowdle away (was not fully established as RB for Dallas) and was his 5th strongest RB. Player B, the Nico Collins manager gave away Tank Dell as it was unlikely he would play both and for this particular week only had 1 active RB due to byes and injuries. Tank would likely be 5th best WR for player A.
All seems normal enough here. However, when the trade was awaiting commissioner approval, player A told the commissioner that Player B had asked that it be a loan and to return the players in a week or 2. Player A made it completely clear that no such loan would occur as it’s not right but was willing to proceed with the first trade to which both players agreed. Integrity of player A is not being questioned given he admitted the conversation in advance to the commissioner and made it clear that no such loan would occur. (Player B also has a history of loan because it had happened once before 3 seasons ago with his brother.)
2 weeks down the line. Nico is injured and Player B regrets parting ways with Tank. Player B (3-3 record) looking for a short term fix requests to trade with Player A and offers his Waddle for Player A’s (6-0 record) Tank Dell.
Player A is thinking long term given his record that he would prefer Waddle (with hopefully Tua back) to Tank (who may be competing with Nico again).
The commissioner has lost his mind believing that this is the return of a loan and is not happy with the trade at all given the Player B history with “loans”. Player A is unhappy at the accusation and believes his Dowdle to Tank to eventually Waddle has been a good move for him.
What do we do in this scenario??? There is no evidence to suggest player A is guilty.
Love the pod! Listen daily and have done for multiple years.
