And if that's reasonable, then I also wonder if their having signed Jae first may have in part been a response to teams that they were negotiating with asking for him as a throw-in (which isn't to diminish what he's done to earn his contract or the interest of other teams).

Can't be traded after 30 days after signing as a draft pick.
