Exactly. Which is why they are looking to get better NOW in trades, not worse. Which is why I claim a package of Curry, Maxi and Powell might be seen as equal value from player worth point of view for them. I don't think THJ+Powell convinces them, because of the overlap with remaining players. Of course we want pick(s) and high upside players for the favor of taking bad contract. They don't care about them.

Agree. What I am affraid is, all available good 2021 free agents like Hayward and Oladipo will also require (near) max money because of all the competition for their services in 2021. So where is the difference if we get Harris now instead of overpaing guys like above in 2021? As long as GA pipedream is off the table, it makes much more sense to make a move this year, where there is very little competition from other teams.
