What a dumb article lead by TSN. Tree looked at it as an option, but nowhere does it actually say he didn't try to trade for him.

Tree doesn't say he didn't try to trade for him - he said he didn't try to trade for him three or four times - it's because he looked twice. Once at last year's draft, and again around the trade deadline.
