League lost its mind over this deal and shutdown

Superflex TEP start 10 with 16 bench spots and 4 taxi, so 30 roster spots total. 4 point passing TDs. New league that just did an auction draft went nuts over this deal after vetoing 2 previous deals involving these players. 1 manager realized he messed up the auction draft and had no depth at all. He essentially had Bijan, Daniels, and Puka and no one else of note. He decided he could not compete and wanted to flip his stars for depth and build for the future. He sold Bijan for Burden, a 27 1st, 28 1st, league was fine with that. Then he tried to sell Daniels and Puka but the league decided those deals weren't good enough and vetoed them. After a week the selling manager had fielded more offers since everyone knew the players were for sale, but apparently all the offers were no better than what was vetoed. So he did this deal to get a handful of young upside shots and picks to fill out his roster better. League completely revolted over it. Selling manager knew he was giving up value but this is what he felt allowed him to start building for the future when he didn't have enough players overall.

Is this deal worth killing a league over?

*All players other than Daniels and Puka were just the players he would drop anyway.

EDIT: $50 buy in, selling manager was totally paid up for all years.
