If we would have gotten the same return later what would be the point in keeping him for another year though?
He was playing bad and getting worse, not earning his cap hit, clearly not happy. The fan base wanted him gone, some even wanted him bought out. I suppose if he rebounded we could have gotten more but at the rate he was going his value might have dropped also. Even if you don't like the trade it clearly wasn't close to the worst decision the team has made.
