Before the draft? Doubtful, or at least not officially. Hield is virtually impossible to trade before his extension officially kicks in. But with the compressed offseason, I don't think it's a showstopper to agree to a deal before the draft and wait a few days until the new season starts to make it official.
Talent-wise, Maxi/Curry/DFS for Hield are 3 good players on great contracts for one unhappy guy on a big contract. Maybe that could justify a pick swap.
Trade for Hield, draft Vassell, and sign Millsap. Think of it as swapping Curry for Hield, Maxi for Millsap, and DFS for Vassell. Great offseason, IMO. And it would also preserve '21 cap space as well.
