Just saying, that's one of those things where it's so easy to say "Murray should have done this because he didn't get this......" after the fact. Murray could have gotten a 1st at different times. Had he waited until the last minute and found somebody desperate enough to throw out an insane offer, people would be saying he was a genius for waiting. I'm sure the early trades played a big part on lowering Stewart's value which probably caught Murray by surprise. Waiting until the last minute was his only option left.
