People I think forget how rental deadline acquisitions seldom pay off enough to justify the costs.
1.5 months isn't enough time for the vast majority of players moved to really gel with the receiving team enough to move move needle in a meaningful way.
At least it helps keep the parity because it's a free bundle of picks for the sellers that's often a large overpayment for a guy that is expiring.
I'd rather we make our "move" now and let the team solidify as a group over over whole year. Even if the name involved doesn't carry as much star power.
