Maybe not but just about every GM in the league has traded a player who had a NMC. Furthermore, it isn't as if this thing just crept up on Feaster and he had 1 or 2 days to make it happen. Based on what is well documented, he had a couple of months. No excuse for botching anything process related that you have time to prepare for. Honestly, we can take losing a trade, but failing to be fully sensitive to process (particularly as a lawyer to boot) is unacceptable. And this was the case with O'Reilly as well. I just have no idea how someone who makes it to a position at that level could be so inept.
