It actually doesn't sound too bad to me. We want to trade the vets, and get a good return, and the easiest way to do that is showcasing them on offense before the deadline to entice other teams into giving assets up for them. I will be vomiting in my mouth slightly every time Patty takes a pull-up 3, but... I'll believe for now that it's a short-term suffering for long-term gains.
Now, if Patty keeps being a ball-hog and isn't traded by the deadline, then yeah, we can talk about concern.
