Quite frankly, you don't appear willing to understand the opposing point of view.
The mods here have been here for quite awhile and can put this trade in the context of hundreds of other trades to evaluate it. We understand the value you're getting and giving. To be honest, this trade makes it clear you don't. As someone who just a few weeks ago needed a tutorial on the game, I would suggest you be more open to what people are trying to explain here.
This deal is not a good one for Texas. It's ridiculously awful in fact. It's not good for the league for a deal this bad for one franchise to go through because it hurts the league's ability to retain a GM for Texas should you leave.
