Actually there is, unfortunately.
Those guys were borderline worthless by the time they were allowed to be traded.
Look, theres no defending the fact that we as a franchise sat on these players too long, but at some point they had to be removed and the team obviously wanted assets in return.
When I call Feaster a 'hatchet man' I mean it. They picked a GM that they knew they werent going to employ for long and his job was to do the dirty work.
And he did it.
He didnt get much for it, but in that respect he was more or less set up to fail because it was far too late by the time he even got started.
