"So if I understand this logic correctly, no trade should ever be vetoed including trades that involve collusion because collusion happens in real life and hey that's the way it goes."

I don't believe for one second that that was what Cameron was saying. He was just saying that there will owners who benefit more than others from there trading activities. No one trade has to be outlandish or imbalanced but by being active and being right on the development of a few players, some owners will prosper more than others . He's right (Cameron, I hope I'm interpreting you correctly, apologies if I'm not).

Two other points:

1) As always data helps. If the average PB value is 70-71 and 84-85 would be the cap then I think that's way to low a cap. A team in the mid-80's in PB value isn't a powerhouse, it's just a good team that someone has worked years to build. "Sorry, but the new guys want to be competitive immediately, you'll have to cut some guys" doesn't make it. Anything under 130% will be punishing a good team, not a "traveling all-star team".

2)Marshall, you may have joined PB to match wits on the lefty reliever thing but I'll bet that more people join to build a franchise by acquiring players, drafting and evaluating young talent and watching long term plans come to fruition than for the in-game management aspects. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
