All but one was a rental. BT was doing so much better as a seller.

If you are going to list picks moved out to complain about lost assets, at least include picks added in that time too to give a fair picture. We gave up a 7th for Shore, but also acquired a 7th getting rid of Lack. We traded a 4th for Fanta, but added a 4th trading Frolik. We traded a 3rd for Gus, but added a 3rd in the Neal/Lucic swap. We gave up a 2nd for Lazar, but the draft prior we added 2 seconds (and traded another in the Elliott deal). Treliving has also added more NCAA and European free agents than most GMs to help counter the loss of picks.
