What that cost will be hasn’t been talked about much on here.
Is it a SRP?
SRP + player (Hardy?)
Multiple SRP’s?
A FRP?
A FRP + SRP(s)?
Multiple FRP’s?
See, this is where it gets less black and white for me. Some of those options aren’t worth it, in my opinion. Not because I don’t want to see Hardaway go - I’ll keep on defending him, but I am fine with him leaving. But, I don’t want to pay a fortune to move HIM, specifically, when there are other players i’d also be in favor of moving (reluctantly) in order to keep DJJ.
I would rather have Green/DJJ than DJJ/Hardaway, but not if it requires throwing two (more) 1st round picks in the trash. Even one first round pick makes me want to hit pause and think for a second, because there really is a reasonable chance that Hardaway’s value could increase at the deadline, even if he’s not in the rotation, simply because he’s expiring. Incidentally, that’s kind of why I don’t expect it to cost so much to move him over the summer, but it’s a reasonable question you posed. What if it costs two firsts to dump THJ? Two firsts to bring back the exact, same team? That really seems like a good idea to everyone?
Add it all together, and the only (near) absolute truth for me is that I’d do basically anything it took to keep DJJ. It’s just that the value equation of some of these choices might be different for me than it is for some others.
