I remember playing devil's advocate when that deal was in the works...I was coming from the angle that trading him for 2 first round picks and allocating the extra funds into multiple players. That way if an injury does happen, you dont have all you financial "eggs" in one basket...
Mega-deals never seem to really pay off...of course had KC traded Houston, his knee would never have been blown out by Parker...and he would probably still be a perennial all-pro....and the fans would be pissed off.
