Trades like those don't happen anymore.

That is besides the point.  The purpose of mentioning that trade is to take the fans logic (multiple players and/or players in exchange for a disgruntled star is a good thing) and show that it's not always a good thing.  

The point is whatever you get in exchange for a star player you trade away, you need to hit on the picks in order to make the trade worth iit.

At the moment, my take is that we did not maximize one of the three picks we got in exchange for trading Ramsey.

Sure you have contract disputes but i dont see players on other teams going to the level our guys do to get out. You can say they were all bad apples or didnt want to be here but why? 

I dont get this obsession with draft picks for talent, only if your going to replace or improve. We have stripped out what last bits of talent we can get picks for and are trying to get rid of Fournette and Ngakoue too. The talent has dropped massively on this roster, especially D.

Could you not also argue Ramsey tried to talk to coaches about ways we can improve and be better and was ignored/fined and just decided to go elsewhere? How long would you stay at your job if your boss was doing it wrong everyday and blamed you for trying to fix things?

Someone gets it!
