It's not the picks for rentals that is the problem per se. It is that it is picks for K-Mart crap. The mentality seems to be "well, we are sort of contenders, so we will only trade secondary picks for 'depth' help". The problem is that the picks accumulated and the players acquired were all useless. Would have been much better to do nothing or to spend more for someone that makes a significant difference...
