I guess we could simply just Give Andersson, Coleman and Kadri away for free in order to satisfy 10% off the fan base that wants a high pick at all costs.

Lets say you move them all for 2nd round picks just to help the tank.

Would you rather have.

3 2nds and a
75% Chance of picking top 3 ?

or

3 first, 3 solid prospects + some young project players and
a Top 10 pick

or

2 firsts, 2 solid prospects + some young project players + a Mentor in Coleman and
a Top 10 Pick

Also, a lot of the teams that can buy these guys have cap implications and may need to wait until closer to the deadline to fit in their salary. You also can not MAKE some other GM make a move.

You could argue that they should have dealt them last year and I agree that Andersson should have been moved but you cant just move them for nothing right now. Factor in the returns on these guys. Kadri had a lot of trade protection until this season as well.
