If I'm trading Tierney or DeMelo by themselves I'm asking for a 2nd + a 3rd. Otherwise they are more valuable on the team. No way Ottawa takes that for BOTH of them AND taking on bum contracts in the process.
Also your comment about those two leaving as free agents makes absolutely no sense. First off Tierney will still be an RFA at the end of his contract so he can't exactly "bolt" anywhere, and Secondly, there isn't a single team in the league that will offer DeMelo top pair minutes playing with one of the best young Dmen in the league.
