If the argument is: "get the most value possible for Porzingis IF you trade him," then I don't think there will be any opposition from anyone here. We all want that. You're 100% right that expectations of that value vary from person to person, and that we won't know for sure until he's traded, if he ever even is.
The part I disagree with is the scenario wherein A) it is decided the player needs to go, but B) they shouldn't move him because they aren't happy with the value being offered in return. It's all hypothetical (to us), but that, specific set of hypothetical circumstances seems looney to me. If he's not helping the team, get off of him and put that salary to work in a more productive way. Yes, it will suck if you can't get as much as you once assumed you would in return, but that's just reality (IN that specific set of circumstances).
