But, I would have:

-Traded for Marc Methot (went to Dallas 2 days after the Hamonic trade) instead of Travis Hamonic
-Convinced Sam to stay on and give the Jolly Rancher a full season to work with

I looked at that. The price would obviously have been way better, but Methot didn't do a thing for Dallas - played only 36 games that year and 9 the next. Then done. It would be basically not making the trade at all, which is fine, but not within the rules of this game. Plus you end up giving Vegas draft picks (yuck in hindsight).
