Its just things like this that need clarification.
And please believe me when I say, that this is not by any means on original thought on my behalf ( a constitution)......
Oh the trade will only be vetoed by myself if I feel it's collusion or an involved party can't justify the move as an honest attempt to better their team (whether it be now or in the future).
I am not a fan of vetoing lop-sided trades, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I figure we're all experienced managers here, so you should know enough to prevent being taken by a shark.
Most protests to "lopsided" trades that aren't obvious collusion is more sour grapes than anything, in my experience.
I know that league constitutions aren't a new idea, Jay, but it was a good suggestion regardless because until now we haven't had one. We now have a rough draft of one we're working on, and once we hammer out a few things we'll open it up to the rest of you founding father GMs so we can tweak it to fit the majority of everyone's tastes, wants, and senses of fairness.
