The Commissioner is going to veto this trade: Ronald Curry and Derrick Mason for Reggie Bush. Should this trade be vetoed? The trade isn't fair, but there is no collusion, and just because one owner is an idiot should the commish have that much power? Just because one owner is over reacting and the other is taking advantage. Let me know...

It is not the commissioner's job to protect owners from their own stupidity.
Unless there is clear dumping of players, or evidence of collusion, he should not act. Given that it is Week 1, someone obviously fell in love with Ron Curry, and doesn't get that a league is 16 weeks long.
If there is no league vote, then the trade stands.
Like it nor not, trade should go through. You would be surprised how an obviosuly lopsided deal can end up in the favor of the guy who was "ripped off."
Play your game, and control what you can control. Tell the commish to mind his own business.

I agree that unless a trade is determined to be "cheating" the commish should not veto them. I see teh Veto as a way to avoid two teams going together to make a good team. If two owners agree to be "in cahoots" and make trades that stack one team and leave the other in the ditch, then a trade should be vetoed. There has to be a reason this other owner accepted the trade. If he thinks that his team will be better after the deal is made, more power to him. A trade will almost always have someone coming out on top, it is not the commish's job to make sure that every trade has no advantage for either team. His job with veto is to avoid cheating in the league.
Sounds like this commish is trying to be manager of every team in the league, not fair and he should not intervene unless he feels that two teams are together trying to cheat!

I don't like the fact that he's meddling in the transaction. It should be something that is left up to the league to decide. If all the other team managers don't care, then why should he. I would especially have a problem if the commish has a team. He could be vetoing the trade for personal reasons, and using imbalance as an excuse to do it. I have a real problem with commissioners having a team in a league they are running. You can never be sure that they are being totally unbiased.

The Commish needs to prevent owners who either don't care or are ignorant from "giving away" top players to another owner for essentially nothing, thereby screwing all the other teams in the league. That is collusion.
There has to be some semblance of value- trades can be lopsided, but not that much. You have to give up something of value to get something of value.
Mason is waiver-wire baggage. Reggie for Brandon Jacobs? Go for it...
But I agree, if the other owners don't complain, then maybe the Commish should let it stand? But so much of that depends upon what kind of notifications (if any) the league sends out for pending trades...

Although Tory Holt is terrible this year because of a bad Offensive Line and QB Issues, and you'd be getting T.O., Peterson is the best RB in the league and Kevin Smith is close to a 2nd string RB (Rudi Johnson should be starting over him). Don't do the trade. =P
