They pulled off the trade back with only about 2 seconds left on the clock. If they had the mindset that they were going to move back way ahead of time, they probably would have laid some groundwork with some teams ahead of time so that it wasn't such a last second fustercluck.
Maybe... Or maybe Unger was the one guy he'd have stayed there for, and when he went, Jerry went ahead with the trade.
And it's pretty hard to lay groundwork ahead of time that far down the line when you really have no idea who may or may not be there.
