Again, the issue is the relative values of the players. If we call Giordano's value a 5 and Kylington a 1, then a 1st and a 3rd is too much to pay for the difference between them. Most other teams went in knowing that they might lose a 3 at worst, and even a 3rd-round pick was too much to pay for the difference between a 3 and a 2. If it's the difference between one 3 and another 3, there's little point in paying any price at all.
