He should have thought of his choice before he agreed to trade ! We all make bad decisions sometimes and have to live with them ! I wish real life worked his way !

Technically it is not legal. The trades are subject to league vote if they are fair or not, not the commish. Once he clicks the accept button it is too late. I would argue that move and demand compensation.

You - to alter right into a very-lively, temple-attending, and faithfully believing Mormon (Latter-day Saint). once you're arranged and have accomplished your end of the best purchase, then i've got faith that Mrs. Dave F might evaluate your proposition... Edit: after all, that's what you're asking her to surrender and subsequently, if the commerce is to be equivalent, you may could agree and fulfill your end of the best purchase. someway, i don't think of you will, yet once you have an interest in giving it a attempt, it starts with the Missionary discussions and is going from there. you have a protracted experience only before you. Oh, it additionally skill getting a sworn fact from God - an extremely actual one, not something the place you're saying, i think of it befell.

Was the commish right (legal) for cancelling the trade, obviously you feel the answer is no but that is the problem with private commish leagues. Often the commish is not always looking out for the good of the league but rather what might be good for him or a good freind who is playing. Is it possible either the other guy is a good buddy of his, the guy offered him a couple bucks to do the wrong thing or he seen where that deal makes his team weaker against yours. Happens all the time, I've seen a commissioner league where the commish locked out the guy who was leading the league (this was a money league). In the future avoid thse type leagues unless you know the person running it will always put fairness ahead of the personal stuff.



So to answer your question, as the commish he has the authority to do whatever he deems in the best interest of the league so technically he does own the right to cancel any trade. Whether or not he is morally correct is something he has to decide (and you dont mention the players involved, is it possible this was a lopsided deal that gives you an unfair advantage?) If that is the case he is a good commish and has a moral high ground, cares about the league and is protecting the integrity of the league for all the players, if not then you learned a tough lesson about competitive people....they will try to win at all costs (how they win means nothing to them....they feel like the bottom line is they did whatever they had to do to win....end of story!)

You need to say something. The trade was accepted.



In your league, do to teams vote on completed trades, or does the commish?



If the commish votes on them, he may have thought it wasn't legit, and cancelled it.



If the team votes on the trade, you need to speak up.

It would have been great to see the trade in question but the legality of the trade depends on your league settings. some leagues are set for the entire league to vote or veto. other leagues are set so the commish can cancel it. if your league is set up that way & he cancelled it... it is legal but that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.



now if the trade was an injured Brady for a healthy Manning than any league w/ any integrity would shoot that down no matter if it was accepted or not. probably not what you were looking for but i run alot of leagues & it's how things have to be so that the balance of the league is not upset.
