The disposition is helpful justify the trade in my mind. It definitely feels better dumping salary on a "Win Now" team, or trying to acquire a veteran to put you over the edge from a Rebuilding team.

I do have to say that the more I've played 13 the more impressed I've been with the trade AI on hard. You really seem to have to work to get the player you want, which I like quite a bit. Without any concrete proof to back it up - those deals where you feel like you really won out don't always pan out either.
