I’m surprised you if all people being on the other side after you making a couple win now trades giving up future firsts…and most liking the other side of your trades.
I like acquiring aging talent to win now, for sure. I don’t love giving up young players to do it. I’ve been paying figure picks, which I suppose is the same thing, but when a pick is 2 years out it feels less valuable.
I also prefer to do it for players who’ve had good track records of health. Those 3 seem particularly spotty in that dept.
I understand the deal and I hope it works, but you’re giving up a lot of youth for a lot of risk.
Best of luck with it. I don’t hate it. If they all stay healthy it should win you a ship.
