If you want to look at the failed trade in a vacuum, we missed an opportunity to get a star player and improve as a team. It's that simple.
And then for those that want to look at it with context,. Yes we probably would have needed to trade Mony or Johnny or whoever to make space. But they probably could have brought back a significant return at the time. Recoup assets lost by trading Vali. Maybe get a D prospect with just as much potential. Would we really have been worse off than the gong show we have now? I highly doubt it.

You’re way off here. Stone literally said on Spittin Chiclets that Vegas was the only team he wanted to go to and that he couldn’t sign an extension fast enough.
