It’s relevant because they didn’t know that at the time and it’s just another example of poor decision making.
Didn't know that prior to trading for him? Sure. Of course not. But they still felt that they saw enough in practice and in tape that they offered him a deal to be the backup, which he declined.
Therefore, their lack of proper usage (mostly due to Gordons incompetence and some weird timing with Hart's hot streak and Elliott's injury recover) didn't really factor into things at the end of the day.
