Ya, I think picks are out unless we get some kind of sweetheart deal. Like trading Bertans, Powell and a first for a quality starter or something. Basically if we trade a first, we have to get back a player that is worth a first.
Also, in my mind, the only first available in trade is the 28 because that doesn’t screw up next year’s pick lineup. So not only does the player need to be worth a first, but an unprotected first that far in the future (since there is no telling what lies ahead that far, the player needs to be on at least 2 if not 3 year contract and be young enough to be relevant in 28).
I don’t think we find that trade, so it is easier to just say, don’t trade picks til next year.
