I understood why they went after DW. It just turned crappily.
Can you explain it then? Because to me I can't find any reason other than Haslam purposely wanting to lose. It was the worst trade of all time and most of us knew it and called it out at the time not just in hindsight.
Even if Watson was fully healthy and playing I wouldn't have spent 3x #1s on him, let alone not playing for a year, holding out with tons of court cases pending.
