They gave up 2nd rounders for a guy that had the raw skills to fill a need. He has those skills but couldn't adjust his mindset. So they moved on and got J Rich instead. Teams try things and move on if they don't work out. It's not unusual. And saying they "gave up picks" to get rid of him intentionally tells part of the story of the trade in order to skew the conversation in a particular direction.
And I don't see anyone giving giving push-back to this "blemish" claim by saying "great trade".
A middle ground, reasonable conversation about these trades could probably be had. This hasn't been it.
