To be fair, to the FO, unless a team came to them specifically asking about Amari then how do you initiate that trade
It was doable if they had played their cards right but probably not w/o Coop and his agent's cooperation and patience. But honestly, trading elite players or starters has never been something Stephen or Jerry has patience or motivation for. They wanted Coop and his salary gone and draft capital is damned. I'm 100% confident under the same circumstances, Howie Roseman gets a min 1st rd pick for Coop. But keep in mind his motivation is different. He's motivated to please his boss vs Jerry and Stephen are motivated to save $$$$$. So once they rid themselves of Coop's $20M salary, they were high-fiving (lol).
