More to the point, why would it matter if we traded with a basement dweller? That's just stupid frankly.
If you pull a player from a top 5 team, you're more apt to find a player with artificially inflated numbers due to the quality of players they've played with. When it comes to a young player, being from a bottom dweller can be considered a good thing. Generally that means a higher level draft pick, and a higher potential runway for the player acquired, due to now player with other higher skilled players.
In short, being good on a bad team, especially while young, is basically better than being good on a good team.
