I'm not sure how GMs would view that, but the fan base I'm sure prefers to gamble on the home run. A Giddy trade doesn't feel like that. I'd rather roll the dice on a new talent than pay for the guy with a "pretty good" tag on him and not much ceiling left. Instead you hope your new GM - with the scouting pedigree - can hit the lucky number. Trading the #9 pick for the #15 is kind of a sad move - even when you add Giddy. I feel like the FO can do better.
I suspect the new FO probably wants to shine in this lottery. The Giddy thing is a little too underwhelming.
