But technically the Florida deal was still the best deal for a rebuild trade. Someone estimated the return for taking the Florida trade and selling the pieces of it off and it was like 3 firsts and two strong prospects, which would be one of the bigger returns in years for a player.
So that isn't an argument for taking one of the other two crappier offers, it's an argument for taking Floridas deal and selling off rather than going in on the players acquired.
