The trade 12 hours after the auction brought up a lot of potential issues. Most of those are related the keeper system and how much 'dynasty' we want in our league. Please use that thread for those lines of discussion.
However, part of the complaint about the trade was how fast it occurred after the auction. It could smack of collusion whereby auction dollars are effectively being traded. Nick & Frank put that to rest but the thought did cross my mind to the point where I flat out asked if the trade was pre-planned.
I think (only think at this point) that a 'cooling-off' period might be advisable after the auction. Something along the lines of one week must pass before trading can begin.
1. It would allow all the owners to really digest their own rosters as well of their competitors. Protecting us from ourselves, essentially. I'm generally not a nanny-state advocate but I don't think a week is unreasonable.
2. It would remove some of the perception that trades were planned prior to the auction.
Thoughts?
