The headline says< "I'd Consider....."

The first 3 words of Jerry's answer says, "I'd be reluctant...."

But it gets clicks and advertisers pay better for more clicks.

True, but after saying he'd be reluctant, he said he'd do it.

No, he said that based on the situation currently it was a good time to do it. Not that he WOULD do it. And he prefaced everything with he would be reluctant to do it.

Actually yes. He was pretty clear for Jerry-speak that he'd do it under the right circumstances. You are focusing on the reluctant part, but it's obvious in context he'd consider it, which is what the headline says.

Any GM should consider trading their top pick for the right player. This is a non-story.

Muhammad Wilkerson is worth breaking the bank for and definitely worth our 2016 top pick.

You also have to factor in the likelihood of our pick being later in the round. That makes trading it much more palatable than if it's top ten or so.
