    I know this is just a game, but have you guys came across where you had a hunch that someone was cheating? i know last year i browsed through a league and definetely i think one guy had two teams. i think this might be happening in my public league i mean who in their right mind would trade olowakendi and ray allen for latrell sprewell and then give gerald wallace, quintin richardson, and wally s. (don't want to try spellin his last name) for ak47 and al harrington.

    Why would anyone cheat just to win a league, i mean what self-satisfaction can they get?

    it's messed up, cheaters never prosper right??

    It's pretty sad that one might feel the need to cheat to win a fantasy ball competition, but there are plenty willing to do it.

    It's sad, but given most leagues are with faceless names on the internet, there would hardly be any shame if you cheated and lost.

    We play in a league where a commish (user: Jerry West in fact) has to approve any trades that go through, and even then they are left for two days in case other players have any serious objections. I daresay those mentioned wouldn't be approved.

    That system has worked well for us in the past. I've never had to veto a trade (i guess because our league is full of respected posters from another board), but there have been numerous trades that have had some serious debate about the fairness.

    I certainly wouldn't veto a trade if you gave me Ray Ray for Speedy Claxton. [​IMG]

    in my league it was more obvious but i don't remember the exact trade. it was like sammy d, kirenlko, tmac and somebody else (maybe bibby) for kurt thomas, willie green, mike sweetney, speedy claxton
