You don't get to live life that way. You can't peer into the future and find out whether a trade is worth it down the road.
But the Barnes trade was more about getting off his salary, cleaning house and gathering ammunition. They did that. Barnes didn't have a role here going forward, especially at his price tag. The win now vets, who couldn't win anyway, had to go to make room for building a team around Luka and KP. No regrets, would do it again. And I was actually one of the few who didn't think Barnes was awful.
