In the grand scheme of things, they have missed 3 games. GMs are concerned with acquiring the best players possible. If a VISA issue results in a 3-game delay, so be it, but that's not a reason to avoid acquiring said player.

This is accurate.
I'll add the one curveball here is the pieces were fluid and discussions to trade happened in less than 12 hours.
In most cases teams have spoken in great detail and can start the visa process before the trade is made public.
