He should be lauded for trying something to turn around what wasn’t working, even if it didn’t end up helping. People like you who oppose trades where there was no collusion involved and the owners were making easily understandable attempts to improve their teams discourage trading in a league. Owners like you also are the reason I refuse to play in a league in which trades can be overturned by a leaguewide vote, or even are submitted to owner vote before approval. Sadly, it appears you didn’t take the feedback from me and others here pointing out that you should be ashamed of your reaction to a reasonable trade and realize that it is not your place to protest trades just because you don’t like how they help a competitor.
Gaddy, I never said the trade was reasonable. Those are your words not mine. In my opinion the trade is not reasonable/logical/balanced which is why I protested it. In another Yahoo Public league, I've already had a trade that was vetoed because it was collusion, so it seems like something to look out for. I'll tell you exactly what the trade proposal there was.
Team A was attempting to trade away:
-Nick Chubb
-Russ Wilson
-Tyler Lockett
-Hunter Renfrow
Team B was attempting to trade away:
-Melvin Gordon
-Allen Lazard
-Robby Anderson
-Brandon Aiyuk
-Bryan Edwards.
This trade was protested and vetoed. But according to you, you would need to see some evidence of collusion. And you believe, managers who veto trades should be "kicked out of the league". I think seeing that trade offer speaks for itself, and apparently so did the Yahoo Fantasy staff member who investigated and vetoed it.
In my opinion, Derrick Henry for DJ Moore and Clyde Edwards Helaire is not a reasonable trade as you seem to believe. The last place team traded away Derrick Henry, but he is playing awesome this year so he is clearly not the reason that team was losing. I have no idea where your opinion is coming from. I'm not sure if you are a casual player or new to the game. Let me provide some resources and information to refer to.

FantasyPros rest of season rankings has Derrick Henry #1 over all. DJ Moore is rated as #19 overall or WR7. CEH is #51 overall or RB19. If you valued those as draft picks in a 10 team draft (which is how big this Yahoo Public league is) one team is giving up the #1 overall player for a late second round and a fifth round pick.
You think that is reasonable value for the highest valued player in fantasy football? I don't think any experienced or knowledgable fantasy football player would view that as a reasonable trade in exchange for Derrick Henry or the best player on your roster. It looks more like a player dumping move to me. I'll stand by that opinion, regardless of whether you think I should be kicked out of my fantasy league or not.
