This week, we will continue looking at significant 1st and 2nd round draft picks that were traded and see how the return worked out for each team from the West. There were some pretty big trades over this period from Western teams and while it might not be fair to say that teams would have [...]
Hey all, it’s Alex filling in for Brennan.
