On DJ we started seeing the issue last season before he got hurt. Sadly I think it just who he is.

Disagree on your take of the Sauce and TRich trades. Obviously agree that the TRich trade was bad, but we "only" gave up the 26th pick in the 2014 draft for TRich who was a bad player.
Ballard gave up 16th pick in this years draft, likely a top 5 pick in next years draft, and a player who had worn out his welcome here but has actually been productive on his new team for an average CB who can't stay healthy.
I know I'm using hindsight here, but when you add it up the Sauce trade is definitely worse.
