You can't in the same post say that Joey was selling the artist and gifting a win. Sure, in absolute terms we must say that winning is a binary thing so nothing else is relevant - but obviously there must be consideration given to some realm of play whereby one who cannot win is still granted agency to continue acting. To say that one may not trade with a potential winner, or may not do so for one potential winner and not another is frankly absurd, and wrangling over OB offers to Dtay at t100 (for example) are a logical extension.
To me, Joey is judged by his actions and intentions. There is nothing inherently wrong with partaking in a trade with a gamewinner, as mentioned above. His intentions seem, by and large, pure and I am prepared to accept that he was motivated primarily by the benefits of such a trade to his own self.
(If he ought to have done anything else, than IMO it would be to offer a trade to Old Harry and try and bargain with the two for it. But as he didn't initiate the trade, I don't see that as being particularly wrong in him to deny.)
