The trade deadline is always a goofy day. It rarely, if ever, works out for the buying teams. For fans like us? Awesome. Looking at it from the team’s perspective? It’s just not a smart way to handle assets. It’s almost the ultimate sign of organizational impatience and GM’s acting to further/sustain their own careers, rather than team success.
Look at Vancouver last year, and how much better off they’d be right now if they had all of their assets.
