This actually proves my point, thanks for that. They all warned teams not to draft them, the teams didn't listen. In the end all three teams had to trade the players. They all three tried to manipulate where they would be drafted and it "didn't work" only to eventually get them somewhere they wanted to be.
Murray is doing the exact same thing right now, yet everyone kind of forgets these three very successful people tried it as well. Again, I don't see the red flag when looking at the historic precedent of those who also tried to manipulate where they went. Those teams that eventually traded for those players I think are happy they didn't remove them from their boards.
