Trading the future for now isn't always a bad idea.
When you're a legitimate contender I think you push as hard as you can to put yourself over the top. Vegas had the surplus of assets and the age range of their core group to go out and supplement it with ready made talent looking to sign on for a competitive window.
Same with Stone.
Same with Lehner.
Trades can be great for both teams. This is one of them.
