What are the needed assets for a high quality defender? Herb is probably a top 3 perimeter defender in the league, but is a pretty bad scorer and inconsistent 3pt shooter. He is basically a souped-up version of DFS with a much worse 3-ball.
The closest comparison in terms of a deal has to be what OKC just traded for Caruso for. It was a straight 1 for 1 swap with no picks. Now Herb is younger, but Caruso is probably the closest value wise we can peg as a comparison for Herb. And Chicago tried for 2 years to get multiple firsts for Caruso with no one biting.
Maybe Herb is going to be a bit cheaper than you think. Giddey’s value at the time of that trade is pretty close to Hardy+Gafford+ 1 FRP.
