I don't expect the fan base to get the difference, but this isn't Plan Powder (if it happens). You can keep the pick and either not get more than a 10% trade spread and not get the MLE (maybe both) and probably have to S/W someone and impact your cap for years to come. These restrictions are daunting.
Or, you can find a way to sell this as an asset play that made the such-and-such trade and/or the such-and-such signing legal when it wouldn't have been otherwise. Just a few million makes a huge difference.
